Thinking of upgrading to a 4" lift

I heard the long arms aren't really necessary on the JK until 6" of lift, as the factory arms are long enough. Researched and most people says the flexarm kit rides great on a 2dr. I'm looking to maybe just getting the rest of the arms, as I already have the rear uppers. Was wondering if my AEV front control arm brackets would suffice, because I heard they are good until about 5" of lift.

The 8 short control arm setup is different in the rear than when a person just buys a set of control arms
They are 1 inch longer so if you already have a set make sure they are long enough because when you start going upwards you really gotta lengthen to recenter the rear axle

Hmmm.. Would it be easier to upgrade to a 3" lift? Maybe I can just swap coils/bump stops and add some sway bar discos? I'm thinking now I should do that and then get some flat flares to clear 37's? Swapping to a 4" seems like a PIA unless I remove and sell my current lift and just buy a new 4" kit from TF. I don't know....
