Default Clayton vs Rock Krawler

Was wandering how Clayton compares to Rock Krawler lift kits. Ive been leaning towards RK. But just recently saw the clayton lift, and it looked good also. How is the ride on streets with clayton. People say that RK is good for both, just wandering about the clayton?

Both are good quality systems!

Our systems have high clearance lower control arms in all systems that include control arms.

For a given system, we typically include more hard parts for a given dollar value.

Our new Krawler Joints are completely sealed and come pre lubed from the factory. They typically only need servicing every 3 to 5 years. They works very well in all enviroments! They also have a total misalignment cability of 40 degrees which minimizes the chances of jam nuts popping loose all the time.

If you have any specifics, feel free to give us a shout. We love to talk Jeep.

Good luck with your build.

I've got the Clayton 4 1/2" lift on my JKU and I freaking LOVE it. Works great both on and off road.

The 3.5" Max. Travel System is our best full featured Mid Arm System! That is a great choice!

But does the high steer kit make a big difference? As opposed to just the X factor lift. Just wandering if i get the X factor by itself if i will regret not getting the high steer also.
