Root Nexus 4 : 4.2.1 ->4.3?

In my personal opinion, the easiest way would be as simple as a ROM flash. It isn't mandatory that you update the bootloader or radio, so give these two a look:

The second is for sure already rooted for you with the latest update from Chainfire!

In this scenario, all you'd really need to do is (always do a backup just in case, I don't try any ROM without a good backup) wipe in CWM/TWRP and flash.
