Anyone ever get a Clayton off road lift kit? I'm thinking about the 4.5" long arm and wanted some reviews

The dynapros are great tires that's what im running now and I love em. If they're still in good condition I'd go for it. Plus that smaller tire will give you more room for articulation and you'll be less likely to need to trim.

Clayton is top notch in every department - they use currie joints - best in the business IMO

So I'm now thinking about getting a long arm upgrade with my taxes.. Leaning towards the serious off road set up if it matters. How much of pain would this be to install in the driveway?

There is absolutely no comparison between those companies. Claytons is hands down better.. I'm a cheap *** though, that's why I've gone IRO . Good, not the best, but definitely cheaper.

What specific tire would you guys recommend that I could get in 32x10.5 for 15" rims? They'll go on my daily driver/weekend wheeler so I'm going to want them to last. Thanks.

I don't know about rubicon express but my rustys springs ride like a dump truck. My last heep with a bastard pack was much smoother

I like my bf Goodrich all terrains but the mud terrains are very good also. 32x10.5 is a weird size tho... Youll probably have to get a 33x10.5 (what I currently have) or a 32x11.5

Default 4.5" RC kit installed on 2000 XJ...

Quick question...

I recently installed the 4.5" RC kit on my XJ, and triple checked everything to make sure it was all tight. It rides like it should, other than if I hit a good bump in the road, it sounds like something bangs the undercarriage. Can't seem to figure out what it would be thats hitting.

I'm running 33x12.5/15, stock flares (new ones on the way).


Anyone experience this? Have any ideas?

Thanks much for your input!

OME has an incredible ride. RE rides quite well too. A good set of shocks will make a world of difference as well.
