Clayton Leveling Kit Results on Rubicon Diesel

[M3r1c4]

After leveling kit, the front end is just stiff enough that I don’t bottom out any more. However, the ride is not harsh.

I waited to install the leveling kit until after the dealer installed the TSB. I wanted to get the stiffer shocks and I assumed that they would not agree to do the TSB for free if I had already modified the front end.

Hi Brian

This thread was pretty old but I am wondering if you stayed with that setup and are happy, or you ended up with another lift? The TSB shocks were/are good? I want little to no lift, basically just level with skinny 35s. I also want to improve the steering/wandering especially when it's windy.

Thanks

It’s really only been five weeks, but I have been happy with the combination of the Clayton leveling kit in the front, and the 3/4” spacers and air bags in the rear. I have left the air bags at 10 psi which adds a little bit of firmness in the rear. If I didn’t have the air bags, the 3/4” spacers might not be quite enough to keep the rear a little taller than the front. However, at only 10 psi, they probably aren’t raising it, I just don’t know how it would sit without them.

Did you get the Mickey Thompsons? If so, how do they look and ride? Noisy?

I am looking at these, which are actually an inch narrower than the stock tires:

I like the tall skinny look, and the narrower width also helps minimize the weight and wind load of the tire. If you select “Specs” you can see all the details.

I finally got the TSB completed on mine, leveling kit is next on my list. Are you seeing any rubbing from the tires?

Your Jeep looks awesome! Is it a max tow or does it have the narrow axels? Did you have to put wheel spacers? Any rubbing? Does it have a lift or leveling kit?

I’m wondering how I can make the same tires and wheels fit on a sport with the narrow axels.

Summer vs winter rain in the Pacific Northwest, haha. It really does look different though.

I added a link to the Clayton kit, in the original post.

Lmao. When it's sunny in oregon it's a great view makes everything look like crap. When raining it's gloomy and makes anything clean look great

Looks good now you need some 35s. What part of Oregon are you in?

Awaiting the Clayton leveling kit for my JT rubicon Ecodiesel. Hopefully gonna get upgraded shocks per the TSB from Jeep. Although I just bought the Jeep used. Hopefully warranty picks up the tab still.

Anywho… those of you running the Clayton leveling springs, any improvement traveling at speed on bumpy roads?
