Clayton Front Springs for the JTRD Bottoming issue.

[Rusty PW]

I'm Beta testing Clayton front springs for the JTRD bottoming issue. Have 200 miles on them now. The ride is bit firmer. The wifey really didn't notice the difference. Driving on the same roads and speeds where it would bottom. It doesn't now. I'm pleased with the results. The factory shocks still could use more dampening though. Who's knows what Jeep will do with the issue, if anything.

Clayton wanted me to take measurements at the front and rear of the rock rail. It was 16" in the front and 18" at the rear. At the bump stop was 2". After the install. The front was 17" and the rear was 18 1/8". At the bump stop was 3". So the front picked up 1".

The stock springs were 17" in height. The Clayton's are 18" in height.

Pic's of before and after.

How did the length of the springs compare?

If I were to guess, probably about the same length. Lift amount came from a more firm spring rate?

(stock vs Clayton’s)

I have to add more to my post. The Clayton's are 1" taller. And the spring rate is higher. Think Clayton said 225.

Just springs? Sounds like the TSB is shocks and bumpstops, it might be a good combo... Any ideas on when it will be available to us normal people? (or how to get on the beta test )

Who knows what Jeep has in mind and when it's coming out. As for Clayton springs. Give them a call. Beta tester. Clayton ask for volunteers. I step forward and put my hand up.......and said pick me....pick me. I had to pay for the springs, but got a deal on them.

Any estimate on "soon"? I'm ready to purchase!
Could you post here when they are available?
Thanks!

So these are basically for factory replacement and not so much a lift spring even though you get an additional inch up front. This will be good for those who want to keep a mostly stock height.
