Clayton Off Road: JL Overland Plus Lift Kits

[Dfideth]

Are you happy with the lift?
(Yes)

Would you do it again or try something else?
(So far it drives better than my 2018 Sahara that I traded for the rubi, and tracks better than the stock Rubicon up to 70mph. I’m running 48psi in the tires and will try different levels for fuel economy, ride, and off-roading.
Would I change? No, the suspension is quiet as a mouse but drives more truck like. Tires are quieter than the stock M/Ts on my stock JKs)

Is it your first lift or one of many spanning multiple jeeps?
(I had a 2006 TJ Rubicon that I personally installed 4 different lifts to meet the trail requirements. I’m trying to learn from my mistakes and just do it once. I’ve done a lot of research for my requirements, 90% wife’s daily driver and 10% rock crawling and trails)

To run the 37's did you regear?
(At this point, absolutely not. I’m running higher air pressure and maybe that’s why it runs more truck like, but I live in so cal with lots of hill and mountain inclines and I see 8 speed more often than I thought)

Thank you for taking the time to answer those questions!

I was told you get 2.5” for the Rubicon, I didn’t measure. It seems I got a little more. The pic is my Rubicon without the spare on the back. And the Yokohama M/T G003s are almost a true 37” tire.
I have the 3.6 engine.

Spacers with the stock wheels?

Does the Overland+ lift work with the JLURD? And which model did you measure off of to get the 2.5"lift measurements? (Meaning will I get all 2.5"of lift on my Rubicon?)

We do have diesel options available, just not currently on our website, definitely feel free to give us a call if you're interested! Measurements are always taken on Rubicon models, and we always aim for about 1/2" higher than what we are advertising to compensate for any heavy accessories, so your Rubicon would see around 3" of lift with our 2.5" kit.

I like much of what I hear regarding Clayton, but haven't found many real world experiences.

Shoot me a PM and we can chat about Clayton Off Road. I've been running to 2.5 overland plus for 30k miles. Great kit!

Spacers with the stock wheels?

No spacers as of yet, tried to do Azusa Canyons on Sunday to flex it out and it was closed. I did order 1.25" spacers to put the tires out a little to protect the Lod sliders and the hardtop on tight sideways obstacles.

It’s a nice area for sure! What part are you in? Install was very straightforward. Spare set of hands would help though. Lol

Reading the install instructions every page has a note about welding and fabrication may be needed as each vehicle is slightly different? This scares me a bit from attempting to install this lift kit as I do not possess those skill sets. Also what drilling and cutting is required? From what I can see it's just the bottom of the springs for the bump stops and cutting of the sway bar end links.

Site mentions radflo or fox shocks as options but I don't see any pricing or options for those on the site.

I will be buying a lift kit this month most likely. Those questions above are my main hangups when considering this lift.
