Ya, I remember your face when you first drove my rig on Claytons long arms. You were like "wait, this is smooth.. cushy.. but flexy... WTF?"
:P
Yeah, the ride is amazing. I can only imagine how much better it would be if I wasn't running craptacular Rusty's Hydro shocks that are like 5 years old. New shocks that are proper length are definitely on the list for this summer, and extended brake lines and crap.Originally Posted by OverkillZJ
And I got the best comment ever on my ZJ at a M&G last night. "Your rig's looking good, it's not as . . . . ghetto."
can't wait to see this thing in a couple days. With the LA's does your suspension still reach full compression during sharp turns?
No.Originally Posted by Puma297
That's the only downfall, LOL.

Clayton's or a beater....so hard to decide lol.
get claytons. Do what you want and drive like stock. I just did it with ZERO regrets =P
bump for the moab update
Gald it worked out well for you Dave.
This is making my decision to get clayton that much better! Too bad I only have like 500 bucks or so...
How long did it take to get to you after you orderd, and how much did you pay, shipped
How big of a tire can you run with Claytons kit, 7" coils and minor trimming? Anyone know offhand what length shocks they are using? Thanks.
7" of lift and you can fit some 37-38 inch tires if you trim and move the axles around.
How much lift do you have on the completed pics in Moab? Looks like maybe 5" ..??
I started getting everything ready to install on mine today (just doing the rear) and when i held up the brackets that mount on the unibody...well i ran into a problem, but could probably be easily fixed. My rock sliders from rocky road are right in the way, and i mean the whole plate, should i just cut the bracket off the slider, weld the bracket up for the LA, then weld the slider back to the bracket for the LA? If that makes sense ha ha
I had the same issue, only on the pass side though which I thought was strange. The RRO rails were probably a bit off. Anyways, I notched a little out of the Clayton bracket and the RRO bracket to make it fit.
Yeah i saw that in the write up, but mine isnt just a notch, i would have to cut off one whole side of my bracket, so i will just have to cut the plate off my slider or something.
I just got my Claytons front arms put on a few months ago... But mine don't have nylock jamb nuts for the control arms... Just regular nuts, and they get loose FAST! and rattle around and drive me nuts. Thats odd they aren't in the kit anymore?

Did you contact them? I got mine back in June and they had them...and they should have them. They need them.
This is a question out of curiosity more than anything...
How many of you do not have issues with the rear uppers contacting the floor boards when flexing? Everyone I talk to seems to have this problem, but it was never an issue for me (even without shocks or bumpstops). So I'm trying to figure out why my uppers don't hit and others do. My setup is a 93ZJ, 4.5" springs, 8.8 rear with Clayton's hi clearance brackets.
Mine don't either
Ooops! I edited my last post, the kit came with jamb nuts, just not NYLOCK nuts, therefor they get loose very fast. I wonder if they don't use the nylock ones anymore?
Might be a cost thing. You could always just use some blue locktite on them. Or a dab of red. Or get some nylocks from fastenal or grainger or mcmaster. Or call clayton.
