I've got the 4.5" Clayton on my JKU and i love it. Very complete kit including Tom Woods shafts and JKS discos. Great customer service and warranty. Drives pretty much like stock on the street and absolutely kicks ass off road.

Well I order a rock krawler like 3 weeks ago and have yet to receive it. So if you are needing something quick wouldnt suggest them. I will say their customer service so far seems to be very nice, just slow production.

rough country 3.5, all in all it is not a Bad lift if you are going for looks, if flexes pretty well it is just starting to sag more than i like due to bumpers, winch, and other stuff. You get what you pay for, so far it has performed but it is now time for an upgrade. I wil not knock them (rough country) did a jeep jamboree this weekend, did the hardest trail they had, im on 33's ran air pressure at 20 psi never used my lockers and was going every where guys were going with with 35/37 with 4-6" of lift, im just ready for a last time buy that will perform the way i want it to. My goal is to keep the center of gravity fairly low (hence 3.5 lifts) but to be able to get the most amount of flex i can, Its going to be Clayton or Rock Krawler with a set of Elka shocks, and a drag link flip
