They don't stick out bad but I like the looks of a little "poke" on Gladiators and Wranglers. -18mm is just the right amount of offset IMO, I still just barely rub on the lower control arm at full lock with the 12.50" tires so any less offset would take away from my turning radius. I also rub just a tad on the inner fender at full flex, but I plan to do some aftermarket inner fenders and possibly a fender chop sometime soon.

I agree that they don't poke out too much, at least not for me. I like the look. Also good to know that you need at least -18mm to keep 37x12.5' on a 9.5" rim off the control arms.

I really appreciate your help!

Your wide axles give you a little more room for inside sidewall clearance.

I'm running 35x12.50 on stock 20x8 wheels with 1.5" wheel spacers. Equivalent to about +6mm offset. No rubbing on mine.

So…I haven’t heard any updates regarding your Diesel rated front springs for some time now. I visited your site last night and saw that several of the lifts were no longer in inventory. Any idea how long before you can stock back up?

Diesel springs are due in April! The kits listed as back-ordered have been taken off back off order status as of yesterday and are shipping again within 1 to 2 business days :like:

@Clayton Off Road with your 2.5” overland plus kit, is it recommended to add the driveshaft carrier bearing spacer? Mine is a JT Rubicon.
You shouldn't have to! The adjustable control arms will allow you to get a good pinion angle, and we've never heard of or encountered any issues with the 2.5" or 3.5" kits :)

Can you shed some light on the differences between the standard 2.5” overland lift springs and the 2.5” overland diesel spec springs? Are they taller or same height but stiffer, combo of both or something else?

Have any of you put a angle finder on your rear driveshaft to see what the pinion angle is? What is acceptable?

Slightly taller and a higher spring rate, but also magic :) All of our spring rates for each individual set of springs are published on our site if you're ever interested in comparisons!

Ok, I'm considering swapping out the springs since mine is not diesel specific. Am I correct to assume only the front springs on the diesel kit are different? As I am now, I am basically level and I do not have any leveling kit installed. So I don't really want to put springs on in front that would raise the front more than the rear especially since I tow a 5k TT.... trying to avoid the Carolina squat.

It only changes the front yes. If you are already level due to extra weight in the back I would keep the current set up as it is :like:

Done with it
I like the Clayton products as quality but I only want 2 inch lift. Any suggestions ? Synergy? It sits OK now so need 2 inches front and rear.
