Default Should I Upgrade?

I currently run a TF 2.5 Coil Lift with Bilstein 5100's. I have a 3in coil up front now which I swapped to fix the front sag. All my control arms are stock but I have front and rear JKS track bars. All this one some 35in Toyos

My questions are this: Is it worth it for me to get the 3.5 Max Travel System and will the ride quality improve enough to get some good bang for my buck or should I just get me a set of quality shocks (kings, fox etc.) bumpstops and adjustable control arms and replace the front coils with progressive ones? I am not very happy with the way the TF kit rides (probably because of the linear coils) and it almost feels like it has gotten worst over time. Will the difference be night and day or is that only with a long arm setup? If not I will keep saving pennies for the long arm setup!!!

Maybe if you added a 1/2 spacer up front instead if a new coil it would ride better? That's what I did when I added bumpers and winch and I love my ride. I have the same tf kit and 5100's
