More droop is the main reason for the arms. This is also the main problem with a stock setup. You did not add any travel, you actually decreased it on your truck. The ride sucks. Maybe you dont thinks so, but? I have run mine with many combinations and at many different ride heights. Keep in mine this is my daily driver, my I run about 2.5" lift on mine, I have had it set higher, but the ride gets worse, it also is more preloaded which causes the suspension to droop with even more force. Not sure why you would think your shock brackets would be lower? Dont hold your breath for a long arm kit or bracket lift.

Of course I could be dead wrong and those CV's could hold up. I suppose one could add the arms and shocks and live with the same lift height though gain droop. That would be my plan though the cost doesn't seem like a value to ME as I've lived with X-amount of droop for 7 years. Plus, there's no way in hell I'll have lower shock mounts hanging down to grab onto rocks.
I would have to see a long-arm setup or a bracket lift before I'd invest big bucks. IF the trails you run take you outside the capabilities of the IFS, it's time to snag another vehicle for thoese trails. Jeep JK, old 80, etc.
