I would have said Terraflex, but I have heard and read a lot of outstanding reviews on Clayton Offroad. Once my rack comes, I am buying the 3.5 inch overland lift.
Added Clayton Offroad - Going to look into Clayton Offroad right now. Was really hoping to buy today, but not really sure which are the top solutions :/ Thanks for the input!

@Clayton Off Road Definitely do.
Ready... Here we go:
- Will your kit change the tow rating on the diesel?
- Will your kit nullify the warranty or do I simply have jeep install?
- What shocks come with your system & which do you recommend to keep the highest towing capacity?
- How much does your kit weight, looks a bit heavy?
- Why buy your kit, what makes it comparable or better than the (understand if you'd rather not answer this one) mopar 2" lift?
- So after answering the above question - which of your systems with shocks can you recommend to me.
Specs as follows:
-- 80th Edition Gladiator
-- Diesel
-- 37"x13.50"R22
**Considerations - keep the jeep as low as possible removing the inner wheel well liners. Or leaving them on. Getting full Articulation without problems.
- And what is your Cyber Monday deal so I can buy right now? :)

Thank you Clayton Off Road/James in advance!

Just my two cents... I ordered the Clayton Overland Plus 3.5" and FOX shocks for my '21 Sport S just yesterday. They're offering free shipping and 10% off through Dec. 4.

I chose Clayton because of the reviews I've seen on here and on YouTube (see JK Gear & Gadgets), but more than anything, I went with them because of their customer service. What other suspension company is actively answering questions in this community? They're incredibly thorough and accessible (as you can see above).

I suggest reading through this thread as well. That's what helped me decide.

Edit: They are also American made parts :rock:

I'll try to answer everything the best I can!

-The kit will not change the tow rating on the diesel what so ever.
-The warranty is tricky to say because it's more so up to the dealer, our kit alone does not void the factory warranty, however some dealerships turn work away on vehicles with lifts.
-We do not pair shocks with our kits directly, instead we let the customer choose what they feel would work best or already like the best. Our kits were designed and tested while using the Fox 2.0 Performance shocks, which is also the most commonly paired shock set we see with our kit and receive nothing but great feedback on the pairing.
-Not sure about the exact weight difference between our kit and factory, you're probably only adding around 100 lbs of weight which is really nothing in the grand scheme of things. Nothing to worry about here!
-Without going into too much detail, some of the main differences you'll find between our kit and something like the Mopar would be our adjustable control arms for setting proper suspension geometry (all 8 adjustable control arms if you're looking at the Overland or Premium lift kit), front and rear adjustable track bars for setting proper track, higher spring rate coil springs for better driving characteristics and weight management, zinc-rich powder coat on all of our products to help fight against rust and corrosion, and of course our lifetime warranty against bending or breaking and a 100% made-in-the-USA product!
-Give us a call and we could go over some of your needs and plans for the vehicle to discuss which kit might be best for you. Phone number to the shop is (203) 691 8593

Hello @bgoman, thank you for the two cents - it says something when a customer is happy with their (Claytons) service/products and no other company has that ?

Will the sway-bar disconnect still work with the Clayton lift(s)?
