Clayton Offroad Long Arm Upgrade Kit Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ 1999-2004
$2960.00

Hey there, fellow Jeep enthusiast! If you've got a lifted Jeep sitting between 4 to 8 inches and you're ready to take it to the next level, let me tell you about the Clayton Off Road long arm upgrade kit. This isn’t just another kit; it’s a game changer for anyone looking to upgrade their current setup.

First off, this kit comes loaded with everything you need to enhance your ride. You get a sturdy three-piece cross member that bolts right into the OEM location for easy alignment, then you weld it in for that extra strength. The unibody frame rails are a big deal too—they fit snugly between the front cross member and rear frame brackets, making sure everything is positioned just right.

What’s cool about this kit is the removable center section. If you ever need to service your drivetrain, you won’t have to mess with your suspension components. So, whether you're ditching a short arm kit that rides like a brick or upgrading from a competitor's long arm kit that’s falling apart, this setup has got your back.

Now, let’s talk about ride quality. The longer lower arms really help with flex and climbing ability off-road. You’ll notice a smoother ride, thanks to better geometry that reduces the angles on those lower arms. But the real star of the show? The Currie Johnny Joints at the frame ends. These bad boys offer an impressive 40 degrees of movement in any direction, compared to the measly 22 degrees you get with standard heim joints.

Why does that matter? Well, the construction of these joints is a game changer. While a heim joint has a metal ball that doesn’t absorb shock well, the Johnny joint uses a high-density urethane encasing that gives you some much-needed give. Plus, at the axle end, we’ve got Clevite mechanically bonded bushings pressed into custom machined sleeves. These are built to withstand the mud, rocks, and all the abuse you throw at them, far superior to those easily pressed-in poly bushings.

With the attention to detail in this kit, you’ll find that the Johnny joints are also better protected from the elements, meaning less frequent greasing or bushing changes for you. Combine all that with the improved geometry, top-notch components, and our lifetime guaranteed control arms, and you’ve got yourself what might just be the last lift kit you’ll ever need.

And hey, if you’re curious about the specifics:

  • Radius Arm Front
  • Triangulated 4 Link Rear
  • Fully Adjustable with Forged Johnny Joints
  • Complete Subframe
  • Lifetime Warranty
  • Made in the USA!

So, if you’re rolling in a 1999-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee, this Clayton Off Road long arm upgrade kit is what you need. It’s built to last and designed to perform—just like your Jeep.

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.
