    Like @Rusty PW, I’ve had a 36k on stock rear driveshaft, with a Teraflex spacer, and wheeled heavily on 37’s with no problems. The axle was replaced only after ripping the rubber/plastic off the stock unit.

  7. New gladiator diesel owner- suggestions for budget oriented overland build

    I run Clayton’s 3.5” front and heavy duty rears to handle the extra weight of my overlanding setup, Alu-Cab canopy, rooftop tent with canopy, and Decked system. Just completed the Rubicon last month and quite frankly, the Clayton’s did their job!

  17. Diesel JT Ready For New Gears ⚙️

    I ran 4.10s (axles from a gas JTR) on my previous JTRD on MT 37s and towed a Patriot X3 camper all over. Mileage improved to low 20s towing and I had no problems maintaining speed. Unladen, I averaged 22-23.t mpg per tank, depending on speed. Your 38s will likely measure out closer to...
  18. Clayton Offroad Spring Install Problems

    I love Clayton’s diesel springs. While I haven’t experienced any lean, I would highly recommend switching to Clayton’s HD rear springs with the cap, rack, and all the stuff you’re loading in the bed. Will definitely get rid of that rake.
