I'd have to go with Clayton, I just bought a new rubicon and was looking around and doing some research for my lift. Tereflex had come highly recommended for JKs, i thought they were a bit overpriced, plus the install was gonna cost me 1900 (in hawaii). My friend recommended clayton, I was sold on the fact that the kit is all bolt on so I can do it myself. Plus their control arms are ridiculous and I need a kit that is gonna last some years with a guarantee behind it. And I'm pretty excited about the optional Bilstein 5160s I added to my order. Great customer service and stand up guys. Even helped me out with shipping to hawaii.

 

Clayton is out of CT. Rk is out of NY.

 

Made in the USA!

We are located in Waterbury CT. This is were we do the cutting, welding, machining, and final assembly.

We have our parts laser cut and CNC bent in Torington CT, we weld everything up and make all the arms in house, send them out to get powder coated in Hamden CT, then pacakge and ship worldwide.

We do buy coils front CA, brakelines from CA, johnny joints for Currie, bushings from JKS.

UPS loves us, so many items shipped from CA to CT, then most of our kits still go back to the west coast.

Clayton,

I met a guy who had your kit on his TJ, he said you guys installed it for him also. Are you guys still installing? My dad works in CT and I'm not too far either. I'm really consisting your 3.5 kit over the AEV. I would love to ride in a JK with your 3.5 kit to see how it rides... Is that possible? Let me know I'm torn...

 

We normally do installs. We can not keep up with orders at this time, so installs are done on a limited basis. Hired another guy who starts mid next week which should help. And Clayton is going to look at a fully robotic welder which should also really help production. Call me and we can see what we can do.

We have a 4 dr JK with our 4.5 inch kit and 37 toyos I would be happy to take you for a ride in.

i also have a 4dr JK with the clayton 4.5" on it, I live in Norwalk CT if anyone is close PM id be glad to take anyone for a ride. Mine also sits on 37" BFG KM2's

Adam, I love the kit thanks mate.

 

I am a mechanic and did the install myself so if anyone need help or would like to hire me let me know.

 

I ordered the JK 3.5 MID ARM FLEX SYSTEM, and I can't wait to get it.
Although it's been a month since I ordered it from 4WD and they keep telling me it's on back-order.

 

I might be late to the party....

If you are talking "short" arm (JKs CAs are not as short as a TJ) I'd go with Clayton. Clayton uses Johnny Joints whereas RK uses Heim joints. Now, if you are talking long arm well......

I'd look into the pros and cons of both types of joints. It might help with your choice. For my money I'd buy Clayton .

 

JK control arms and full package deal kits all in stock. Usually ship in 1 day.
