Clayton Off Road JT Suspension Systems

weight for starters

Heh, I mean is the lift from Clayton any different Which I imagine could be narrowed down to: Are the springs & (recommended) shocks the same? Is the resulting lift height the same?

Is the setup any different for a diesel? If so, what is different?

We have a couple of different options available for a diesel currently if you want to give us a call (203) 691 8593.

Get Jeep to release their late availability 2021 colors and I'll order one, then I'll order a lift

I have your long arm setup on my WJ and love it!

Are the 3" height of the front and rear bump stop spacers adjustable? I ask because 3" seems excessive running 37s on a Rubicon. 1.5" - 2" bump stop spacers up front seems to be enough for 37s. Not sure about the rears.

Front bump stops are not adjustable but are very easy to shave down if you're looking for something a little bit smaller. Our front bump stops are designed to work perfectly in conjunction with standard sized shocks, meaning the shock length matches the amount of lift being applied, and if made any shorter would allow for over-compression of the shocks. The Ride Right kit actually does not come with bump stops, but you're welcome to add them if you'd like!

No photos with that setup exactly, but that would work perfectly fine and I will leave some photos of our kits with 37's on 2.5" and 3.5" kits for you to see.

3.5" lift with 37's

So, I am attempting the suspension lift install on my Sport S diesel. I have run into a problem with the passenger upper control arm frame side bolt. I cannot get it out because the exhaust down pipe is right next to it and won't let the bolt come out. The bolt is too long and hits the exhaust down pipe. What is the next step? I am not taking out any exhaust..........

Well, I just cut the dang bolt....wasn't too bad. What size bolt is the upper control arm bolt?

I saw a video on YouTube about this issue and the installer did the same thing and cut off the bolt.

It stopped me for over an hour while I contemplated what to do. I looked on the net hoping to find something like you did. In the end it is probably the only thing you can do.

I found it!! Search “Jeep Wrangler JK 4.5 Inch Lift Kit Installation”. It’s from the Clayton Off Road YouTube channel.

At the 2:28 minute part, the installer talks about this exact issue.

Sorry can’t paste the link here.
