the two questions you need to answer are, 1: how much do you have to spend 2: how much flex do you want?
the OME suspension should be good for 50,000 to 100,000, and the sag is easily fixed with a coil spacer at the offending corner, so if having it ride nice and looking ok are important, that's all you need to do.
if you want to get more adventurous, SEARCH, I and other have posted quite a bit on bundera suspension mods. if you are actually serious about flex out of it you will need to consider an A-frame 3 link in the back, and a five link in the front. I suggest you hit the front first; it's probably the bigger job but it more or less eliminiates that bundy habit of cocking a front wheel in the air at the first sign of a rock.
a quick and dirty method of getting bigger numbers on the ramp is to remove the front most left and rearmost right radius arm to axle mounting bolt, and to loosen the other one at that corner. it works well for craling too, but is unpredictable (ie unsafe) at higher speeds so not recommended.
on a more serious note, to get a little more flex out of the bundy and not break the bank account you could start by replacing all the bushes on the vehicles with...... with...... i forget what they call the plastic stuff anyway tough dog supply them. The parts are cheap its just installing the buggers when i did mine i needed a press but it did help
Your right, rubber does flex better, however it also perishes with regular water, heat, cold etc. I suppose it boils down to whether you need the longevity of polyurathene or the extra bit of flex from the rubber. Im not sure if there is a price difference between the two though...

and poly ones flog out quickly so you are still better with rubber imo.
If the above post did not offend you in any way please PM me so I can try harder!!

considering the title says
BETTER FLEX FROM A BUNDY i think we can safely assume what he's after
i got dobinson blue bushes which are soft as anything, run gu patrol shock in the front and standard shock mounts in the rear with some long shocks, can drive up on to a 700cm rock with the front right hand wheel.... ive spent $250 in total and it eats everything i give to it, wouldnt bother doing anything else........ front suspension is 3 link which is a patrol front set up! so anything they do you can do, go with lots of sag not lift
