Clayton Offroad 4.5 Inch Long Arm Lift Kit Jeep Wrangler JK 2007-2018
$4505.00

If you're looking to take your Jeep Wrangler to the next level, the Clayton Off Road 4.5 Inch Long Arm Lift Kit is where it's at. This kit is all about giving you a smooth ride, whether you're hitting the trails or cruising the streets. And guess what? You don’t need a full garage of tools to get this installed—just some basic shop gear and a bit of elbow grease.

One of the standout features of this kit is the front long arm setup, which includes a bolt-in 3-piece cross member. This bad boy bolts right into the factory spots and has special pockets for the forged 2.5-inch Johnny joints. What does that mean for you? Maximum ground clearance, so you can tackle those tough off-road obstacles without worrying about bottoming out.

Now, if you're the kind of driver who really pushes the limits, you can weld this cross member in for extra durability. And if you ever need to swap out your transmission, no sweat—the center section is removable, so you won’t have to mess with your suspension arms.

In the rear, the drag link bolt-on bracket is designed for true long arms. You can install it without having to drop the gas tank, which is a huge plus. It uses eight bolts to clamp securely to the frame rail, so you know it’s solid. Everything in this kit has been designed using cutting-edge 3D Solid Works tech, and CNC laser cut and bent for that perfect fit and strength.

Thinking about tires? This lift kit is made to accommodate 37x12.5-inch tires, but make sure you’ve got the right backspacing—4.5 to 4.75 inches is what you need for a clean fit. Just a heads up, shocks are optional, but if you’re going to get some, I’d recommend either Fox or Bilsteins for the best performance.

For the 2-door models, you’ll need a rear adjustable trackbar (part number COR-4508110) to keep everything in line. And don’t forget about the exhaust—some modifications are necessary for clearance, so plan on a loop delete and spacer. Plus, you’ll need a front CV-style driveshaft to complete the setup.

This kit fits 2012-2016 Jeep Wrangler JK models, both 2-door and 4-door, whether you’ve got a Rubicon or non-Rubicon. If you’re ready to transform your ride and tackle any terrain, the Clayton Off Road Long Arm Lift Kit is a solid choice.

The Story of Clayton Offroad

Clayton Offroad has been setting the standard for long-arm suspension kits since 2001. In November of 2002, the brand became the first suspension manufacturer to offer long-arm suspensions for all four of the major Jeep models: the TJ, XJ, WJ, and ZJ. 

Clayton Offroad wasn’t established on a business plan, but rather started out as a hobby with a solid business philosophy that prospered. The company is dedicated to providing its customers with the highest quality and most durable products available on the market with great attention to customer service. At Clayton Offroad, they aren’t just working on manufacturing Jeep parts, they are also competing at local competitions, riding on the trails with local clubs, and out 4-wheeling with their buddies. 

Born from a Personal Realization

The co-owner and founder of Clayton Offroad, Clayton Walters, began operations in a one-car garage. He started out designing and manufacturing rocker panels and bumpers for his own Jeep ZJ. In 2001, after daily driving a ZJ with a 6-inch lift and short-arm suspension for a year, he realized the need for a new suspension system to make his car a pleasure to drive again. In June of that year, Clayton Offroad Manufacturing, LLC was born and debuted its ZJ long-arm suspension at the Grand Slam East event in Gore, Virginia. The suspension proved to be a huge success after being driven over 400 miles to try its luck at the toughest trails at the event. Later that year, Clayton Offroad was producing ZJ long-arm kits in full swing, followed by the release of the XJ kit, WJ kit, and eventually a TJ kit.

In 2007, with the new Jeep JK hitting the market, Clayton Offroad began assessing what type of lift was needed for the model. Taking the design improvements on the JK into consideration, the brand came up with a standard length-based control-arm suspension.

Products Tested to the Limits

Clayton Offroad is more than just a suspension manufacturer; it also produces transfer cases, gears, lockers, driveshafts, and complete custom axle assemblies born from its drivetrain expertise. All of the product designs and developments are rigorously tested in real-world situations to guarantee safety, proper functionality, and durability. Throughout the years, Clayton’s products have been abused and tested in professional rock crawling competitions all across the U.S. The brand takes pride in using only the latest technology, including CNC press brakes, millers, turning centers, and laser cutters to offer quality, close tolerance parts for your Jeep.
