No troubles if your pockets are deep enough. That's a lot of lift for 35s. Need to think about a new front driveshaft and adjustable control arms at that height, among several other things. Why do you want 4.5"?

Want to do the bds lift which only has 4.5 or the rough country 4" I don't want to a body lift at all.
Far as the size of lift figured that would be the size I would need to run 35" 20

Recommend you read Dirtman's post, "My Thoughts on Lifts", in the modified JK stickies. Great info.

You do need to read dirtmans thread. As for the lift over 3", that's where a lot of components need to come into play. I have a 3" with 35's, wheel in Colorado and have plenty of lift for the tires and articulation clearance. Best of luck!
