I've been searching onlime, asking fellow XJ jeepers, and doing a bit of research into what suspension to run on my almost stock '91 XJ that's in need of some ground clearance. A sharp fellow turned me towards Clayton Offroad's long-arm XJ kits, and I've been impressed with what they offer. Anyone here have their suspension on their XJ, and what do you think of it?

Just looking for informed opinions, thanks.

Been discussed plenty of times, search for it. And he uses Rock Krawler springs and such (only thing he builds is the arms). So you can search for that as well.

I tried the search feature, didn't do it right I guess, because I didn't find anything.

Thanks anyhow for the insight.

Here's an example of the Clayton supsension. Not sure what he's using for springs. 91 Jeep Project is correct, he makes the arms, you choose what springs you want.

This Jeep also has the Clayton Rear Coil Conversion for the XJ

Here's Vince in Big Bear and Calico this past week. The Jeep did very well and has lots of flex, as you can see.
