I’m on a RK 3.5” Xfactor with RRD2.25 shocks, and I love it. The on road ride is great and the flexibility is definitely next level.
The other two companies are very good, I’ve owned some of their products in the past, but don’t have any first hand experience with their lifts.

@Rock Krawler Suspension is a great company, they have been very easy to communicate with and get advise from. They stand behind their products 100 percent, and have a lifetime guarantee on all hard parts.

If you’re gonna wheel you’re rig at all, this is my recommendation without a doubt......

Thanks... I have the rk no limits sway bar links, made for the rubi electro disco. Some of the rk kits come with quick disconnects.

I am running the same setup as @Roky with different shocks. Same no limit sway bar links. This is my second Jeep that I have had with the RK kit installed on it. I am happy with their product, customer service and quality.

Those shocks are on my radar, how are they working with rk springs?

They are nice, Fox customer service is a bunch of idiots, took them a month just to get me the resivoir mounts..... and now I have 3 extra sets. Other than that quality of them is good and the high and low speed adjustability is nice.

They look great. Clayton is local to me but my budget is leaning toward the RK setup so far. Im in a jlu sport. Really interested in seeing other sports with these kits.

Always happy to work with customers and their budget, at the end of the day we'd rather help you get a kit you're going to be happy with and that will last you a long time rather than buy something just because it costs less. Rock Krawler makes great suspension, but we feel that our suspension systems made from 100% made-in-the-USA high quality parts, matched with our lifetime warranty and attention to detail make for the ultimate Jeep suspension systems available! If anybody ever needs to talk to us about which of our kits best fit their needs or how we can help to meet your budget somehow feel free to give us a call at (203) 691-8593, look forward to talking!

I have the clayton 2.5" overland plus kit, and have put about 24k miles on them no issues on and off road. The ride is great on road felt better than the stock setup, and performs great off road.

I have used their other suspension stuff on my old XJ and know lost of others that have great luck with their stuff. They stand behind their product better than most other companies.

Went with the overland kit because of the joints, this jeep is my DD and take it out on the trails every once and a while so ride quality and durability were more important than flex. The premium kit has the johnny joints which are great compromise between a full heim joint and a rubber bushing, they needed added maintenance and need rebuilding after time. The Rock Krawler joints are like the johnny joints just more towards the heim joint and are greared towards those that plan on spending more time on the trail than the road and have a tendency to wear out faster. The Rustys joints are the same as what you get stock a big old rubber bushing.

Build quality for all 3 is great never really see anyone break anything from these companies short of something very extreme, bad driving, or lack on maintenance

I have the entry level Clayton 2.5 Overland and have put about 20k miles since the spring of 2019. This kit is solid, I added the bump stops front and rear and will be adding the additional arms shortly. With the front uppers only it has performed extremely well. I can't imagine the flex with all 8. The specs to dial in the caster were on point and my steering has been so good that I am still running the stock steering stabilizer on 38 inch tires.
