The rear 4 link made the biggest difference in ride. Especially over bumps at an angle. Almost no head toss side to side now. You'll lose the rear track bar but you should be able to sell the Clayton one.
Exactly what I'm thinking!

I started with the AEV 2" and 37s. Then added geo brackets. Then added the rock krawler 4 link rear. Swapped to 3.5" metalcloak springs and their flipped drag link. Very happy with it now but after nearly 40k miles the shocks will likely be next.
I also started with the AEV and then went to the MC GC 4.5" kit. I'm at 34k now and shocks will come after taxes/bonus

I really want to go ADS bypass shocks, but dropping $5k on shocks seems excessive. I'll likely end up going metalcloak adjustable rocksport blacks.

I’ve only done that trail in my old 2 door JK. Everything changes with the JT. Did you go up to Hualapai Mountain Resort? We’ve stayed there a few times. Great food too. And the trail from there to Yucca is fun
Ran it from the south, then up over hualapai to 40. Got a latte start and still had to get to home depot for trim for the cabin. Devil's dip will have to wait for another day. Fortunately these trails are all 30-40 miles from our property so we are in the area every 4-6 weeks. Thanksgiving week we will be back, definitely gonna run Maggie slot canyon with them.

I've heard good things, but none of the guys I've asked that run them do any high speed desert driving. I know the ADS shocks are better for that, but at nearly double the price are they that much better?

Mojave putting in work truck duty. 1,800 pounds of pavers like a champ. Even the 20 miles of washboard and muddy dirt road it never got into the bumpstops despite some legitimate squat going on.
