If you’re looking to take your lifted Jeep to the next level, the Clayton Off Road long arm upgrade kit might just be what you need. I’ve had my fair share of off-road adventures, and let me tell you, this kit is a game changer. It’s designed for those who want to ditch their current lift kit for something that really delivers on quality and performance.
This particular kit is a rear half-only setup, which means you get rear frame brackets, a sturdy 4-link axle truss, and both upper and lower adjustable control arms. Whether you’re fed up with a short arm kit that rides like a buckboard or dealing with a competitor’s long arm setup that’s starting to show its age, this kit is here to fix those headaches.
One of the standout features of any long arm kit is the improved geometry. By lowering the angle on the lower arms, you’ll notice a significant boost in ride quality. Plus, the longer lower arms are a blessing for flex and climbing when you hit the trails. It’s all about making your Jeep feel more planted and capable.
What really sets Clayton’s kit apart is the attention to detail. At the frame ends, you’ll find Currie Johnny Joints that offer the kind of flex you’re after. These joints give you a whopping 40 degrees of unrestricted movement in any direction, compared to just 22 degrees on standard heim joints. The difference is huge when you’re navigating tricky terrain.
Now, let’s talk about the construction. A heim joint typically has a metal spherical ball with a teflon sleeve, encased in metal housing, which doesn’t absorb shock very well. In contrast, the Johnny joint has that same metal ball but it’s encased in a high-density 88 durometer urethane. This design allows for some give, making your ride smoother and more forgiving on rough trails.
On the axle end, we’ve got Clevite mechanically bonded bushings pressed into a custom machined sleeve. These are way more durable than your run-of-the-mill poly bushings, especially since they’re designed to handle mud, water, and rock abuse. You’ll appreciate the maintenance-free aspect of these bushings at the axle end, as they’re built to last longer and withstand the elements.
With the improved geometry, high-quality Johnny Joints, and Clevite bushings, plus our lifetime guarantee on the control arms, this kit is likely the last lift kit you’ll ever need to buy. It's built to last and perform, so you can focus on enjoying your off-road adventures.
As for lift height, this kit is recommended for a range of 4 to 8 inches, making it versatile for various setups.

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.
