Clayton Off Road JT Suspension Systems

[Clayton Off Road]

I finally get to add my heep to the Clayton scrapbook!

Vehicle is a 2021 JTRD on the Jeep Gladiator DIESEL 2.5" OVERLAND PLUS Lift Kit 2020+ JT. Tires are 37" Mickey Thompson Baja Boss ATs on Method 706 wheels and Falcon SP2 E-Adjust shock are doing the dampening.

Looking good!

Got my lift swapped from the mopar lift and took it in for an alignment. What are the thoughts on the numbers after the alignment?

One other questions. I have rubicon axles on my sport s. Just noticed the top says except rubicon ...

I'm thinking the specs would be the same for both options, I just have wider axles now.

Drives great ill be taking pictures and testing it out this weekend.

Looks really good! If it's driving well and you don't feel like there are any sort of wandering issues I'd say leave it alone, otherwise you could bring the caster up just a little to around 5.5 degrees.

Don't worry about the Rubicon axles, most likely there are just different specs for the Rubicon and Mojave since they come slightly lifted from the factory, but since factory suspension is coming off and ours is going on, those numbers wouldn't really apply anyway.

Definitely post some photos when you get them!

Thanks for your helping getting the lift purchased. It could be in my mind but seems like I have a better turning radius now. I would have thought my wheelbase would be slightly longer with the new track bars and it would be a longer feel.

It definitely looks awesome.

Technically without lengthening all the control arms and driveshafts, when you lift the truck your wheelbase should effectively shorten I think.

Since the control arms and drive shafts are mounted inboard as the truck lifts the axles should swing closer together. So as you lift the turning radius would get smaller all else being equal.

True but with the adjustable control arms I am adjusting to get that back...right?

So I tested it out on the ramp and did a 640 without airing down. I honestly don't know what those numbers mean but they said it was really good....thanks clayton

Hi, your rig looks great! Are those Method 706 wheels the 17/8.50 +0 offset or the +25 offset model? And what is the width of the MT tire - maybe the 12.5"? Thanks!

Method 706 wheels are 0 offset. The MT's are 37x12.50R17,

And thanks!

That is really good

That is really good

May be a dumb question but are there any advantages to setting the falcon shocks to 3 vs 1 when articulating? I ran q but wondered if it would be less tippy when on 3...I guess I should test it lol

Ultimately you're going to compress or extend the shocks all the way, but set to a softer setting you might get there a little bit smoother/faster!

Here is my JT Rubicon Diesel with Clayton 2.5” ride right kit. With Bilstein 5100 reservoir shocks. However did 3.5” springs in the rear. Been running this for about a year. On stock wheels and falcon 33” tires still. Here are some photos with two trailers and winch. Only lost about 1/4” to the winch. Have a decent rake when light. With trailer that goes away . Is what I wanted. HD springs and diesel springs were not available when I purchased. Would be interesting to see how HD 2.5” rear and diesel 2.5” front springs would compare.

Thanks for sharing, your truck looks awesome!

The diesel springs would just bring the rake to where we usually have it sitting, around 1" lower than the rear, instead of the 2" you're probably getting now with the non-diesel coils. The HD rear coil springs are excellent at maintaining the same exact height, so you really wouldn't go up any in the rear, but would be set up a little better for when loaded up super heavy.

Give us a call if you have any questions regarding springs at all!
