I've read through the Clayton ride right thread and like what I saw. It's still hard for me to find reviews with different shock combinations. I was thinking overland+ or ride right with bilstein 5100s as that is what I have ran on my tj for years. Any input?

Their kits are spec designed and tested with the Fox's, if you want a little stiffer, go with the Falcon's. Bilstein's are good too, but the Fox shocks are very good with their kits! I have the 2.5" Overland + kit with the upgraded Fox shocks, Fox adj steering stabilizer, AEV geometry correction brackets, Method Bead Grip 703 wheels and 315/70 R-17 Duratrac tires...

I went with Bilstein. Only because the conversation I had said more road riding would be a good choice for that setup. As you get towards more off road than fox is the better call.

I have the Clayton 2.5” Ride Right with Bilstein 5100 shocks. I’m happy with it.

I dont think reservoirs are worth it unless you are cycling the shock a lot. I saw no fade with the stock shocks doing most of the passes in ouray.

Thanks for the replies I think I'm going to order the ride right 3.5 soon and upgrade later to full arms if I need to.

I have the 3.5" Clayton with the Falcon Adjustable Resi's.
Are they twice the price better?
I also have the Falcon resi's with the Clayton 3.5 inch coming up on 1 year now. Lots of hwy, street, and off-road driving. I love them, and I think they are worth the price. The key with the adjustable shocks is that you can set them to the weight of your vehicle (i have more weight than stock) and adjust them for the terrain you run. Once you dial in that weight setting for the street, all you do is dial it down a little for off-road, depending on your off-road speed. for rock crawling you dial it down more and for desert running, you leave it more stiff. The idea is not to hit your bump stops, and the Falcon Resi's can be set such that in every speed and terrain, you do not hit your bump stops and you get the right amount of travel. I personally, have a setting for the street, desert slow, desert high, and rock crawling. I live on the west coast, so, we have a lot of varied terrain here.
