I have 2 quality lift manufacturers handy to me in Brattleboro VT. Rock Krawler is located due west in the Albany NY area and Clayton is located south of me in Waterbury CT. Call me crazy but I am stuck on the manufacturer doing the install on my lift kit. As far as I can tell, Clayton does not offer a long arm option for the JK but as far as the bolt on premium kits, how does the quality of each of their 3.5" lift kits compare to each other? Has anyone had interaction with both? I've heard great things so far about both and I'm leaning towards RK because of the long arm option but I'd like some feedback from those of you who have experience with either of them or both.

thanks

 

I am a loyal Rock Krawler customer, but in trying to put the bias aside, I don't see anything that Clayton has on their lift kits that RK doesn't have. With RK you have the option to expand from a short arm, to long arm, to 5.5 inches, and to coil overs and aluminum control arms.

 

Ditto... RK is some tough S@#$ to beat. Solid parts and abuse proof replacements

 

Very happy with my RK 3.5. They are on the forum alot as well to answer questions

 

I run Offroad Evo kit, but I wheel with two guys that run the RK triple threat and they absolutely love their set ups. I have seen their rigs do incredible amounts of articulation on the rocks. I guess more importantly, both of the JK's are daily drivers with no issues.

 

You still have your softtop? This spring its sold to me!! lol

 

rock krawler. I plan on getting their 3.5 and then maybe in the future upgrading to their long arm

 

Clayton Offroad has some quality products for sure.

If you have any questions regarding our products, please let us know. We will be more than happy to help you out!

haha, I was actually just thinking about you as as I was parking my jeep in the parking garage at Logan. (that's not a hint to come and take my soft top while Im in cali for 2 weeks!) I have brand new one on order sitting in my Dealer's attic, waiting for this one to go!

 

I've seen nothing but professionalism and great feedback whenever RK is in question. Clayton was mentioned to me by my friend Andy Vega who's friends with Clayton and it sparked a thought to see what was available through them. Where are the Clayton fans? The products look to be great quality? Is there a difference in the joints on the control arms?
