If you're looking to take your lifted Jeep to the next level, check out the Clayton Off Road long arm upgrade kit. This isn't just any upgrade; it's a serious upgrade for anyone who's fed up with the limitations of their current lift kit. Whether you’re stuck with a short arm kit that rides like a buckboard or a competitor's long arm that’s falling apart, this kit is here to fix that.
What you get is a robust setup that includes unibody frame rails, rear frame brackets, a 4-link axle truss, and adjustable upper and lower control arms. The unibody rails weld right in between the front cross member and the rear brackets, giving you added strength and making it super simple to check that everything is lined up just right.
Now, let’s talk ride quality. This long arm kit is designed to improve the geometry of your suspension, which means less angle on those lower arms. Translation? A smoother ride. Plus, the length of the lower arms really helps with flex and climbing when you hit the trails. And trust me, the attention to detail in this kit sets it apart from the rest.
At the frame ends, we’re using Currie Johnny Joints. These bad boys give you 40 degrees of movement in any direction—way better than the typical 22 degrees you’d get from a standard heim joint. Why does that matter? Because it means your suspension can flex better without binding up, which is crucial when you’re off-roading.
Speaking of joints, let’s dive into the differences between Johnny joints and heim joints. A heim joint has a metal ball and a teflon sleeve, which doesn’t really absorb shock. In contrast, the Johnny joint has that metal ball encased in a tough, high-density urethane. This allows for some give, making your ride a lot more forgiving on rough terrain. Plus, we use Clevite mechanically bonded bushings at the axle end, pressed into a custom machined sleeve. These are way tougher than the standard poly bushings that can just pop out easily.
These maintenance-free bushings are built to take a beating from mud, water, and rocks, and they’re housed in a thicker sleeve, so they’ll last longer. The Johnny joints are also better protected from the elements at the frame end, which means you won’t be greasing or changing out bushings as often.
All in all, with the improved geometry, top-notch Johnny joints, and Clevite bushings, along with our lifetime warranty on the control arms, this is one upgrade you won’t regret. You’re looking at a recommended lift height range of 4 to 8 inches, so you can really dial in your setup.

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 RealizationThe 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 LimitsClayton 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.
