Default Clayton vs OME lift

Another lift question. Im trying to decide between the OME 4" and the Clayton 3.5" or 4.5" lift for my 08 JKU Rubicon. Does anyone have experience with the Clayton lifts? I've heard nothing but good feedback about OME but not much on the Clayton.

The jeep is currently a Daily Driver for the next year or two and them will be just a toy but I still want a decent ride for the long trips to wheel. I will be going with 35's and might want to go with 37's eventually but I'm going to start with 35's. Actually it will have 32's until I want to part with the $$ for new rims and tires.

I run the 3.5 Clayton long arm with 37s on my 08 jk rubi and absolutely love it great on and off road and they truly stand behind their product and yes they are heavy duty

With the 3.5 did you have to do drive shafts with it?

I was reading up and found that they recommend the front shaft on automatics, is your auto or manual?

Mines the six speed I would also recommend using fox shocks too works well with the lift

Even the installers who are not Clayton dealers say they are probably the best.
