Who uses Clayton Off-Road?

Weld on frame brackets that don't interfere with my tummy tuck.

I'm a Clayton fanboy, but I would like to point out that their long arm kit isn't designed to work with a tummy tuck. Their transfer case skid is actually below the frame rails pretty near the same amount the factory belly pan is. Their skid is designed to help keep the arm mounts from hanging you up. If you run their mounts with a tummy tuck the lower mounts will stick out like little anchors.
 
I have a short arm currently, 12" rear and 11" front. Try again as to the goal, since travel isn't an issue and ride quality is a shock issue, not an arm issue.

That's not so say a short arm doesn't have flaws, but the long arm isn't the answer unless you like a light front end.

I'm not saying the Clayton lift doesn't have it's flaws, but the front end has never felt light, and I never had any issues climbing or pulling up onto or over any obstacle, even in the wet and muddy stuff.

Good point.
 
They make very nice products.

I like to use their JK track bar bolt kit in a TJ by pressing a Moog 7252 bushing in. I keep a couple on hand.

The Clayton rear truss is ridiculously huge. And the vertical separation at the frame isn't very much. And they do the dropped track bar and pitman arm crap. Savvy does a much nicer job.

I have the Curry truss that bolts to the RJ60. I will check out Savvy.

Since you don't have stock axles, the value of the Savvy mid arm comes from the frame mounts. You need to build the upper axle mounts right on top of the Currie center section. The reason being to not reduce up travel more than is necessary. From there you need to understand why not raising the lower mounts to be even with the axle tube is necessary for both strength and optimal geometry. Things Clayton isn't doing.

I've got a Clayton kit on my LJ. I am a fan, but my LJ sees 98% dd and 2% offroad. I do agree that the track bar and bracket have something to be desired. I got rid of their track bar setup and went with a Currie setup because it was hitting on my new diff covers. I've been to their shop and have spoken with everyone. They are a great bunch of guys.
