Default I know it has been beat to death but..

I'd like to add another inch to my 3" lift right now. My setup right now is 3" coil springs in front, 3" AAL in sagging rear, hydro 8000 shocks all around.
Plans:
-Rough Country adjustable track bar (already purchased)
-Rough Country steering stabilizer (already purchased)
-1" transfer case drop (homebrew via washers and longer bolts)
-1" rubber coil spacer front (already purchased)
-2" shackle rear (sagging springs, it will level it out, haven't yet purchased)

Now, I still have stock control arms, and I really don't want to drop an extra couple hundred on a set. At 3" my Jeep rides great, and doesn't bump steer, nor does it wobble or track funny, so what is another 1"? If it rides nicely at 3" w/o a steering stabilizer and w/o an adjustable track bar will I be safe at 4" with stock control arms?

I'm honestly so close to scrapping this whole idea due to all the money that needs to be invested just for that extra inch, but if I can get away with what I have right now I'd really like have the little extra height.

So what should I do, scrap this idea altogether and resell all the parts I've aquired, or run what I've got and use my stock control arms.

You can get custom fixed control arms from rustys for like 130 a pair I believe. You're so close, why not just spend a little bit more and do it right??

while it is possible to stick with stock control arms, you will not have much droop at all
