Clayton Off Road JT Suspension Systems

[Rzrhawg]

Just got the 2.5 Ride Right+ installed. Any need for a carrier bearing spacer? I know many other kits come with one, interested to hear your take on this.

Looking to get the Overland Plus 2.5" with HD rear springs for my 21 JT Rubicon. I have an AT Overland Altas topper, 270 awning, fridge, solar panels, and a power station at all times. This is my daily driver that I use for overlanding/camping trips and some occasional rock crawling.

A couple questions:
Will the HD springs will be good all the way to GVW? I have pretty bad sag right now with stock suspension and not even fully loaded with all my gear. Also getting people flashing me thinking my high beams are on... ? I figure they will improve the ride and sag with about 500-600lbs in the back... Just wondering how they will handle hitting 6250 lb GVWR when I'm fully loaded. Will I be sagging at full load and how will the ride be?

I really would like to get King shocks. Any recommendations on getting them tuned for my load case with the Overland Plus 2.5"? Any opinions on going for the Kings instead of the Falcons?

How much is the forum member discount?


Appreciate any helpful comments.

Our kits use a little bit of a higher spring rate that's better suited for extra accessories and just provides an all-around more stable ride with less body roll and floatiness. You're also getting fully adjustable control arms and track bars, so the geometry is corrected and everything is able to move freely and adjust!

If the vehicle is mainly a daily driver or sees a lot of highway miles I would stick with the stock sway bar as the anti-rock is a great upgrade for off-road use but creates less stability at high speeds.

If you're carrying a lot of extra weight, over 600 lbs or so on the back of the truck, then we also have our HD coil springs for the rear, capable of handling up to 1000 lbs of extra weight before sitting below level, and are available from any one of our JT lift kits by going to the "related items" section and clicking on the item labeled "HD Coil Spring Swap Out"

Let me know if you need anything else!

Sent you a message...screwed up trying to place my order

Definitely not necessary, but can be added of course for a slight improvement to pinion angle. For the most part, the adjustable arms get you to where you need to be, and the carrier bearing spacer in most cases makes such a minor adjustment, however, this doesn't mean it's totally worthless and it just makes some customers more comfortable having it installed.

Hey there! In our testing, when used with our kit, the HD coil springs can handle up to about 1,100 lbs of additional weight before starting to sit below level.

I don't have much feedback on King shocks with our kits, but I can tell you the Falcon shocks do pair extremely well, especially when set to their softer setting. If you're looking into getting a set of shocks custom tuned, definitely reach out to the guys at Accutune and they can help to steer you in the right direction!

Will the HD springs also take care of the body roll? I was considering doing the Hellwig sway bar in the rear with the kit. I'll probably wait to see how the springs perform first

I put one on.. it helps driveshaft angle for sure.

The rear springs are plenty stiff, I added a rear track bar relocation bracket, and it made for a much more comfortable ride/drive.

Can I run the stock Rubicon Fox shocks with the 2.5" lift? I'd like to get the stiffer springs ASAP to fix my sag problem then upgrade the shocks later if possible. Then do the tires/wheels. Then probably re-gear... Have to do all these modifications in steps, budgetwise.

The stock shocks would be too short unfortunately, you can always grab a set of shock extensions though which are a good temporary solution until you are able to get some new shocks in there!

Have settled on Clayton as the brand I want to go with. Just curious on how rigid the 3.5 ride right kit is because I’d love to start there, but I do go off-road on trails and forest roads on occasion with my dd. How quick will I be wanting to upgrade? 2022 max tow sport, will the black rhino Abrams 17x9.5 -18 on bfg ko2 37s is what I’m thinking I’ll go with.

If you're looking to make the Ride Right kit a bit more versatile for off-road use, definitely add in bump stops from the "related items" tab on the website, and consider a set of front lower control arms as well!
