Hey its Matt! Welp, if you switched gigs I'm glad youre still in the off-road industry!
On my list ! I’ve been waiting for a video like this in comparison of both arms it helped make my decision 👍🏼. Thanks
Excellent video guys!
Matt!! what you doing here😮
I’m running the TeraFlex Outback springs however I think a change up is needed just changed up to the overland plus arms might as well complete the setup 😂 not to Mention Jenn will have them here like in 2 days 😂
Matt!
Hey guys! Great video! I just recently put the clayton ride right lift 3.5" with fox shocks on my gladiator. At first it felt smooth and nice. Then I put 35" tires on it and since it has felt so bumpy. I can feel EVERY bump and it's kinda making me sad. Did I do something wrong?
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.
I know colors don't help you offroad lol but man I wish you could order components in different colors like red control arms. Jeep is one of if not the most customizable vehicle on the market, people enjoy making it their own.
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
392 owner here and have spent hours researching best lift for me, and this video I think is the deciding factor, our 392 is my wife's daily driver and 100% on road (I know, mall crawler) I was down to like 3 brands , seeking a 3.5 inch lift, I believe at this point my money is best spent on Clayton overland kit, I will have to decide on shocks yet, but my biggest concern or question to you or your viewers, will I need a new drive shaft? (For viewers chiming in keep in mind 392 doesn't have FAD, so front drive shaft turns at all times) thanks
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!
how much misalignment in the giro joint vs metalcloak??
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!
3:35 Do I need to order different shocks with the 2.5" overland plus lift or can I use the stock Rubicon shocks? if I need new shock. can I order through you guys to make sure I get what is for the kit?
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 :)
Hi Matt
Hey Matt
Do these kits level the Jeep? Specifically the Overland Plus kit. I’m about ready to order a RSI Smartcap and don’t want to end up nose high.
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..
