Help Clayton Ride Right 2.5 vs JKS J Kontrol 3-3.5

[aec777]

Hey yall, sorry, I know lifts are discussed excessively but I couldn't find a thread comparing these two directly. I think I have narrowed down my choices to these two kits. My Jeep is my daily driver and is a High Tide trim. I haul (500 lbs or so) pretty frequently and tow a light bass boat around, so on road performance is paramount. Most of my off roading is overlanding trails and I plan on running 35" pizza cutters with a regear. I am looking for input for those who have experience with either kit or could explain which would be better. They are about the same price and it seems like the big difference is that the clayton comes with new front control arms while the jks uses relocation brackets. I have also looked into the aev dualsport or the overland + but the jks seems like the better value than the dual sport and I'm not sure I really need everything the overland +offers. Please let me know your input and Im certainly open to other suggestions if you have them Thanks!

I've had a Clayton 2.5" Ride Right for about 65k miles. It's been great.

I think the Clayton kit is a better value. I like that is has adjustable arms and an adjustable rear track bar instead of brackets.

But JKS has some advantages too. That kit includes front disconnects where Clayton has fixed sway bar links. No difference if you're not wheeling, but maybe you'll want to disconnect if you are wheeling. The JKS kit also includes bumpstops, Clayton doesn't.
