Clayton Off Road JT Suspension Systems

[Clayton Off Road]

Yup. Clayton Overland 2.5+ lift, with the Falcon SP2 3.3 Shocks, and Currie front end suspension & Falcon Steering Stabilizer. Very happy with all of it, but the Currie front end DID necessitate me buying wheels - stock L front wheel rubbed. Ended up with Method 703 Beadgrips, -12 Backspacing - that did the trick. I've got Toyo AT III - 35x11.5R17's. I wanted as minimal a poke as I could get with 35x11.5's, and -12 was the best I could do without rubbing on the Currie tie rod.

Sounds like pretty much what you are looking at doing. Perfect for our AZ trails IMO.

Nice looking truck!

Thanks for the pictures! I haven't seen this set up in person and seems most everyone puts 37s on but really don't want that big a tire. I was wondering if the Clayton lift would make the 35s look super small but I think it looks perfect from your pics!

I really like the look of the extreme recon wheels but I think they might stick out to much, will have to do a little research on that. Anyway I think I've seen your jeep driving by before, Looks awesome!

Anyone here have the Clayton 2.5 inch lift with 35x11.5 tires? This is the route I'm planning down the road but would like to see some eye candy if anyone has it. Thanks!

Here is mine with the 2.5" Overland Plus. I have the 315 (fake 35s). There is also a 1" Teraflex spacer in the front. I am not a fan of rake and I like the slight rake that is left. I took the picture in my shop so you can see the level lines on the wall for comparison.

yeah that’s perfect. Exactly the look I’m looking for with a 35. Thanks!

So how does the 1.5” leveling kit work on the Mojave? I have already ordered it so it’s a moot point but grabbed a teraflex 1”& .5” spacer just in case

I’m also running Clayton’s Overland+ 2.5” lift with 35 x 11.50 (Toyo ATIII) on stock rims with Spidertrax 1.75” spacers. Here’s a few pics for you. I don’t have anything directly end on at the moment for you to see the poke but hopefully gives you an idea. I personally do plan to upsize to 37s eventually but for now I’m very happy with the look and trail performance of this setup.

How do you think a set of Mohave shocks would pair with your 1.5" lift?

I can get a set from a buddy for cheap-ish for my 22 Gladiator Rubicon Diesel.
Eventually I want to put on your 1.5" diesel lift on it. Just not sure on shocks yet. Was just wondering if the Mohave Fox shocks would work.

The ride would be totally fine! I just don't know if it would be worth it, as the Mojave guys still need to run at least 2" shock extensions in order to make the shocks work with the lift, and with shock extensions, you aren't really getting any more travel. Most of the Mojave guys go that route since they already paid extra for the shocks with the Mojave package, but if you're starting from scratch it might be worth it to upgrade to something that takes full advantage of the lift. Hope this helps!

I'm in the same boat. I currently have a Mojave and the 2" AEV spacer lift, with the 2" shock extensions. I want to move on to a Clayton 2.5 lift. Until I replace/upgrade my shocks, will my ride still be decent? Also, would I need to keep the geometry correction brackets on?

Ok, thank you for the quick answer.
I was just thinking/hoping since the Mohave is supposed to be 1inch taller than the Rubicon it might work.
But I don't want extensions and to limit any usage. So I guess I'll be saving my pennies for awhile longer.

Anyone know of shops in Colorado that regularly do Clayton installs? I need a shop to partner with and help deciding on how best to approach this project.

I'm hitting a little scope creep on my JT. Maybe you fine folks at Clayton can provide some clarity.

2022 JT Sport Ecodiesel. I'm running AEV Savegre wheels with 10mm offset (5.2" backspace). Original Sport fenders.

This is my daily driver. 25k+ a year. A lot of that is highway, covering between home in Houston to our property in southeast Oklahoma. My Jeep is also my ATV on the property. I use the truck like a truck and I off-road out of necessity. No rock crawling, but lots of mud, forest driving, and creek crossings.

I want to keep the tires no wider than 11.5". I'm thinking 35x11.50r17 or 37x11.50r17.

Will a 2.5" lift do what I need, or should I go to 3.5"? Will a Ride Right handle this type of use? Bilstein 5100s have been good to me on the road in the past, will they work with your kits?

2.5 will work for your needs, Bilstein 5100’s will work with their kits. I am running the 3.5 Overland plus with the Bilstein 5160’s.
