Clayton Offroad Short Front Upper Control Arms Jeep Wrangler JL | Gladiator JT 2018-2022
$339.00

Alright, let’s talk about these Clayton Off Road Short Front Upper Control Arms. If you’re looking to beef up your Jeep Wrangler JL or Gladiator, you’ve stumbled upon a solid upgrade. These aren’t just any control arms; they’ve got some serious engineering behind them that makes a real difference on and off the road.

First off, let’s get into the details. The center-to-center measurements range from 19.130 inches to 22.283 inches, with a sweet spot at 20.100 inches. That means you can dial in your setup just right, whether you’ve got a 2-door or 4-door model. They’re designed for a lift height of 0 to 5 inches, so you can keep your ride height just how you like it without any hassle.

One of the standout features here is the Johnny Joints. These bad boys give you maximum flex, which means your tires stay planted when the terrain gets rough. Less stress on your OEM frame brackets is a big win in my book. Plus, the longer-lasting powder coat finish means these arms are built to take a beating without looking like they’ve been through the wringer.

The bolt-in design makes installation a breeze. And let’s not forget about that custom 5-inch long upper adjuster—this is where you can really fine-tune your front caster angle. It’s all about getting that perfect setup for your driving style, whether you’re hitting the trails or cruising around town.

Oh, and did I mention the lifetime warranty? That’s right. Clayton Off Road stands behind their stuff, so you can hit the trails with confidence knowing you’re covered against bending or breaking.

These control arms are made right here in the USA, and they fit the 2018 and up Jeep Wrangler JL and Gladiator perfectly. If you’ve got a Gladiator from 2020-2021 or a Wrangler from 2018-2022, these are the arms you want to consider.

  • Center to Center Stock: 20.100 Inch
  • Center to Center Min: 19.130 Inch
  • Center to Center Max: 22.283 Inch
  • Recommended Lift Height: 0-5 Inch
  • Adjustable Short Upper Control Arms
  • Bolt In Design
  • Custom 5 Inch Long Upper Adjuster: For Maximum Front Caster Angle Adjustment
  • Johnny Joints: To Provide Superior Flex
  • Lifetime Warranty: No questions asked warranty against bending or breaking

So, if you’re serious about getting your Jeep set up for whatever the road (or trail) throws at you, these Clayton control arms are a no-brainer.

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.
