You have got to check your links man.

I say Rock Krawler. The kit doesn't include coilovers though. You'll notice you have to upgrade for about $850. You'll need a lot more to make it work well though. Things like steering upgrades and SYE etc. etc.

ive only heard good things about clayton. if i was going to run that much lift that who i would go thru

 

[ROBZ95Xj]

oops, www.claytonoffroad.com never herd a thing about there kits breaking or parts wearing out, now rock krawler on the other hand...

 

[90xjsweetevil]

I wanna clear 35 tsl's or maybe 36's (by 12.5) and with clayton do they have a kit or do I have to piece and part it?

 

[ROBZ95Xj]

just get a 6" kit and do a little trimmin, and yes clayton sells full kits, theres alot of other nice 6" kits around like Full Traction, Rubicon Express and TNT Customs

I guess i should post my opinion in here.

My vote would be for RockKrawler for a few reason.

First off you get the complete coilover conversion kit for 3200 retail.

Second the kit rides like a dream on the highway. You will never experience a nicer riding kit. It drives lik a caddy no lie. Also wit Rk's kit they provide you with a bash proof warranty. Meaning if you break anything, call up RK and they will replace it.

I've been running Rk's product for quite some time now and I love every bit of it. Keep a lookout for my build up thread coming out soon. Were taking it testing this saturday so it should turn out quite nice.

If you need anything answered about that kit, pm me and I'll fill you in.

my vote would be for RK
not b/c I work for a RK dealer, but I've got it on my XJ, and I can garuntee their isn't 1 piece of my suspension that wouldn't have broken if it was anything else, I can absolutely outflex any other aftermarket bolt on suspension and it rides like a dream!!!
now I say I haven't broken any of their parts, but I have managed to be the only one ever to bend(not break) an X-factor steering tie-rod

 

[az4wheeler2002]

I forgot to mention, I'm only running the 6.5", and I don't feel any need to run any taller

 

[RyanM]

I can ABSOLUTELY outflex any other aftermarket bolt on suspension

:bs:
what arms setup are you running

 

[az4wheeler2002]

:bs:

you can call me on it, but I wouldn't mind proving it
I'm running the RK 6.5"

 

[RyanM]

yea i was about to say it better be the 3link, i just read the other thread. time for some bumpstops or fender trim

your very right on the bumpstops and actually I didn finally get around to trimming the fenders

 

[Ramsey]

go with re5.5 and drop brackets, or even sub it for tnt y link. you dont need 8" for 35s

 

[matt6669]

or you can go with a true long arm design instead of drop brackets and just get the 6.5 RK kit as well.

But either way will work RE does build a pretty decent kit for the weekend warrior.

But i too agree if your only going to run 35's keep the COG low and you'll be way happier in the end. 6.5 is all you need for 35's

Infact I'm running 7 maybe a little less and im clearing 37's sooo, low COG is your friend

I'm confused
how is your 37's cosidered LCG?
your the same height as he would be with 35's and 8" of lift correct?

i've had enough of your logic boy.

regardless, 8" is just too damn high for 35s IMHO, but theres plenty of people that do it, so if thats what he wants then who are we to stop him.
