I agree on all these points. Especially when I did my 2.5 clayton lift. I did not see any difference between the Rubicon and Sport S track bars and control arms. My 2.5 lift was 2.5+in over the height I had with the Rubicon suspension installed.
This chart was finessed from the Clayton instructions. For the curious. I followed this on my install and my alignment was pretty damn close when the alignment shop got their hands on it.

The only situation that factory warranty coverage might be an issue is if there is a problem caused by the work performed.

As others said, I would do a leveling kit while your in there, 1.0-1.5" spacer kit if you want to get rid of the rake.

An adjustable track bar would be a good idea to center your axle back up.

I would look into the Mopar lift lower control arms or some geometry correction brackets to get some caster back.

I got a set for $200 like the others. Simple DIY job if you are handy and have a few tools. I swapped this out from a leveling kit and it was more or less a wash height-wise. I do like the ride compared to the stock Overland setup. Good luck!

Thanks for the response. I have been trying to do my research and have seen reports of about 1.25” of lift and a better ride, but have also seen a couple of reports like yours. Sure does make it confusing.
It's 1 inch of lift depending on which ones you get. There are stiffer take offs and then some that aren't as stiff. Both have different numbers on them. Ask if they have metal stock bumpers or the plastic ones. Metal usually means stiffer springs and you will get about a little more lift out of those.

I paid $250 for mine and did the install in the driveway. It definitely want void your warranty doing it yourself
