I am running Cooper Discoverer ATT 37X12.50-17's on the factory wheels with Spidertrax 1.5 wheel spacers.

I have a 4" lift with a 1" body lift and im running 37x13.50-18's on a 2DR. I still had to do minor trimming. I dont regret anything ive done and I know 3" and 35's just wouldnt be enough. Also I like to emphasize that I have a 2DR. There are alot less problems or dialing in suspension wise with the 4DR. Reguardless if you do go with the 4" most companies recommend you upgrade the drive shafts.

Vibrations in the driveline are not going to be a problem. However, there have been claims made that the cv joint boots will wear out faster. Your big problem is going to be adjusting caster. Personally I am going to go with the Superlift 4" if I have to buy it myself, because they have cam bolts to adjust the caster. Other options would be to use upper adjustable control arms to adjust caster, or all new adjustable control arms to completely reposition the axles (best alternative).

I gotta be honest. You might save a little money going with 3 + 1, but it is not going to be near significant enough after you spend all the extra time installing that body lift. They are such a pain in the butt to install and make everything work properly. If you are torn, get the 4" otherwise you will wish you always had.

I have a 2dr Rubi with a 4" Skyjacker lift. I purchased replacement 1310 OE drive shafts from J.E. Reel. The front went in with no vibrations at all. The rear shaft was much different. I tried two different drive shafts they sent me, but could not get rid of the bad vibrations.
I was told the only way I could correct the vibration was to get adjustable control arms and to point the diff upward toward the transfer case. I thought this may affect the warrenty and returned the rear drive shaft.
