Installing the 1.5" Clayton Ride Rite on a 2022 JT Rubicon.
Everything is going pretty smoothly and getting down to the end.
Only question that is how long should the front end links be?
Purely a guess looking at the 2.5 and 3.5 instructions - but I am thinking 7.063

Anyone have any thoughts?
@Clayton Off Road

Thank you
Ben

Is this the leveling kit, and are you referencing the sway bar links?

Oh, yeah, Ride Right.. But you are talking about sway bar links, yes?

not the leveling kit, the 1.5 ride rite.
Yes, the sway bar links.
All of the instructions I have found only reference the 2.5 and 3.5 lifts

I'm sure some well learned members will chime in at some point. But at a minimum you want them parallel, or at a slight upward angle. I've seen 5-10 degrees up on some. You could use you stock setting as a starting point.

I spoke with Randy @Clayton Off Road this morning.
He emailed me the revised measurements for the 1.5 Ride Rite.
Keep in mind, this is a new lift that they just recently brough to market.

For people looking for the length 7.063 cutting 4.031 off each end.

You should be fine with the stock links. My '23 Willys had so must rake the sway bar arms were angled up. Adding the TF 1.5" spacefr lift got them parallel to the frame.
