With a 4.5" kit it would be highly recommended!

New shocks are recommended for best results, as factory shocks are going to be a bit too short, and extensions unfortunately won't provide additional travel. When you're looking at the kits on our website, click on the "related items" tab down near the description, and you'll find all of the shocks we offer along with some other parts that go along specifically with the kit you are viewing :)

Hey there! It depends how much off-roading you plan on doing with the Jeep, as that is what really wears away the factory driveshaft. We like to say it's recommended but not required, however, since the 392 does not have the FAD, it does become increasingly more important the taller you go. A 3.5" lift that is mainly used as a daily driver will be totally fine though, give us a call if you have any more questions, always happy to help!

If you're looking to have the control arms custom powder coated, just let us know before we ship your order and we will send all of the components without the bushings pressed in!

@@ClaytonOffRoad good to know that's awesome

It's good?

Can you please update with a review of the system…shocks used and on/off road manners…would be appreciated!

Hello. Same manufacturer, but its possible the sizes, and fitment vary.

@@adamwycislo9758 thank you for the info

Hey Matt

Coming soon!

None of our kits remove all of the factory rake, pretty much for this very reason! Our kits leave around an inch of rake, and our rear coil springs are able to handle a good amount of weight before coming down below level. We do also have some optional HD rear coil springs available if somebody plans on running a lot of added weight, and these can be found under our "related items" tab on our website :)

the Clayton suspension systems said look they are well thought throw system, as l just pick up a 2018 jeep with a blow motor and tranyy and getting the 392 and tranny for the rebuild and project..

What PSI are you running in the 35's ? I'd drop down into the low 30's to start if you aren't already there.

Giiro joints allow for 27 degrees of misalignment, not sure what other brands are saying at the moment. However, bushings/joints will not be your limiting factor for flex on any short arm lift kit or short control arm system, it will always be the shocks and springs. For example, our Premium arms allow for slightly more misalignment because of the Johnny Joints, but both kits end up with the exact same amount of flex and can fully stuff the tire size the kit is designed for. So a 2.5" Overland Plus kit and a 2.5" Premium kit would both be able to fully stuff a set of 37" tires on a Rubicon model with no rubbing. Same thing if you were using our coil springs and a set of Metalcloak control arms, you would end up still being able to fully stuff the tires with no rubbing, but would be limited by shock travel and bump stops from going any further. Hopefully this helps!

Hello, any of our coil springs will fit the front of the Mojave model as there are no changes to the weight or suspension there. Give us a call if you're having a hard time choosing which springs to purchase 203 691 8593

The optional HD springs are only intended for those carrying a lot of extra weight and need something stronger than our standard offerings. We would not recommend somebody just install the HD spring without a need for them, however, they would not result in a stiff ride for a lighter vehicle, they would just remove a lot more dive and body roll.

Awesome to hear!!

Matt and Ryan are just helping us to film some FAQ content!

Give us a call or shoot us an email if you run into any issues. Unfortunately, we don't have a video on the Currie Steering, but instructions are available on our website for this product!

37's on this particular install

XR has 1/2" less lift than the standard 392, but the only difference is that you do not need to use the front bump stop extensions that come in the kit. Other than that everything fits and works exactly the same.

Looks like on their website they say you can use their bushing on an existing trackbar. I'm trying to figure out if I can drill out my existing trackbar bushing to fit the 9/16 bolt in this kit.

@@Alpha-ms9nj i already did it. Didnt use claytons bushing as moog has a two piece poly bushing and my track bar axle side mounting holes were a little short of being wallowed out to 9/16. Did a little filing so the bolt would fit and drilled out the existing sleeve and ive been daily driving with no more death wobble.

@@Alpha-ms9nj this was a new cherokee for me and i was getting death wobble with a brand new track bar. Replaced all the steering sway bar links and bushings and stabilizer with no luck till i saw the track bar bolt was still moving and it was all bc the bolt holes were wallowed out. 🤦🏻‍♂️

@@alale923 - Good to hear. My TB bolt hole is no where near the 9/16. Barely even 7/16 size. I just got a new TB from Oreilly's (lifetime warranty) and upon installing it AND tightening down the TB bolt to 60 fps with torque wrench, I have no more bolt movement, only very slight movement from the rubber bushing which is considered normal. I will say Claytons responded to my email fast and seem like good folks to deal with and will give them my business should I need them. Glad it worked out for you. Hopefully mine stays put also.

@@Alpha-ms9nj i snapped my clayton track bar bolt and nut but that was my own fault over torqueing while i was still unaware of the wallowed out hole. I still re used the flag nut after removing the broken stud on my other cherokee. Definitely well built and ill buy more in the future.
