Default Is a 3.75 inch front step lip too big?

Just got in my Works and the rears are 4.3 inches and looks amazing but I wanted to get at least one inch in lip difference between the front and rears. Anyways, maybe this can be a mini post your lip size thread lol. Just wondering what some of you guys might be rocking? I will try to post a pic soon too. Thanks.

I like at least a 1" lip difference front & rear. But it's personal preference.

It probably means you don't have clearance for big brakes in the front, unless the offsets are super low or the face/spoke profile is really bowed. But if that was the case, the rears should have had more lip than they do.
