So what do you suggest? I know there are a lot of determining factors that come into play when you decide to do arm like shocks and bump stops etc. Please advise what you would do.

out of those options i would pic the mc coils. Are you looking to just do the rears or both? Im not sure what that procomp lift came with, but I am sure some upgrades could be done. Did it come with adjustable control arms? Trackbars? Drag Link flip? My point is no need to get mc duroflex arms if you have some other aftermarket already...Any will suffice. Bumpstops shouldnt be changed unless there already incorrectly set, you changed tire size, or you got new fenders...

I wonder how much travel you need to have to experience the additional travel from those arms. 16" or more? I don't believe the guy running the the average 11 or 12" shock would gain any additional flex but I don't know for sure. I've seen where guys run long travel coilovers on stock arms. He's a vendor on here - brute force I think?

Hes banned and doesn't have coilovers. Youd need real wide axles and tons of extended length

ProComp came with just Springs, Rear Track Bar Bracket, Bump Stops and longer Sway Bars. I have sine upgraded the front track bar to the Rubicon Express Front Track Bar, Rancho XL9000 and AEV geometry brackets. Any help to make my JK better is much appreciated!

the evos will most likely put you in the closer range to the pro comp lift height. they ride pretty decent imo, but not the magic cloud of titties some say. Are you just looking to fix the sag? A drag link flip may help steering if your around 4" lift, but that would also require a raised track bar.

I will look into the drag link flip. When I bought the RE front track bar I had to buy the drop bracket that dropped from the frame.

yes if you flip the drag link you should raise the trackbar from the axle instead. I would remove the frame drop and install all together if you go that route. No drop pitman arm at least it sounds?
