Default should i do a long arm up grade?

i have a 3 inch full traction lift and was wondering if a long arm would make any diff? the shocks are bilstein and are for a 3-6 inch long arm kit. the flex in the pics is on a block that is over 3 1/2 feet high and strectehd the brake lines to the max. also does any one know of a kit that will stretch ther rear wheel base 6 of so inches? thanks

Default bump stops

4wp installed the suspension, so im not sure. i do remember looking at the bump stops after taking the pics and there was still at least a 3 or 4 inch gap from the bump stops to the axle. should i go with long bump stops?

Normally kits come with bumpstop extensions, but I dont think you HAVE to use them as long as you keep an eye on your break lines, etc. ...then again I am not an expert on this.
