Default fabtech 5" crawler system w/coilovers

I have a 08 2dr rubicon and have been running a skyjacker 5" short arm lift with 35" tires for about 4 years. Im sick of it, Rough as hell and death wobble constantly. I am considering the Fabtech 5" crawler syster w/coilovers and then run 37". But before i spend $4200 on the lift i would love some feedback on whether its going to be just a little smoother or a big noticeable diffrence that im hopeing for. And i assume switching to a long arm i will be getting more articulation. Is this true. Thanks for any advise.

long arms are nice but, i have seen this kit in action and i was not impressed with it at all. the front track bar relocation bracket is a terrible design and one that i have seen cause death wobble and the eventual tearing off of the factory axle mount. as far as the actual coil overs go, i've actually seen one of them break right at the shaft. i personally would recommend that you do a little more looking around.
