Clayton Off Road Inc. Jeep Cherokee XJ long arm upgrade kits are perfect for anyone who has a lifted Jeep, and is looking for that next step.
What our long arm upgrade kits are intended for is anyone who wants to upgrade their current lift kit to a high quality long arm kit. This kit comes with a
- 3 piece cross member
- upper and lower adjustable control arms
The 3 piece cross member bolts into the oem location for alignment purposes, then welds on for maximum strength. The center section is removable if your drivetrain needs to be serviced without having to remove any suspension components.
Whether you have a short arm kit and just hate how it rides, or a competitors long arm kit that is falling apart, this kit will solve all your problems. Any long arm kit will provide better geometry by decreasing the angles on the lower arms. This greatly helps with ride quality. The length of the lower arms, also helps with flex and climbing ability off road. Where our kits rises above the rest is in the attention to details.
At the frame ends we use Currie Johnny Joints which provide the flex everyone is looking for. Currie Johnny Joints now offer 40 degrees of unrestricted movement in any direction as compared to 22 degrees on a common heim joint. Another advantages between a johnny joint and a heim joint are in the actual components they are built from. A heim joint has a metal spherical ball, usually a teflon sleave, and is encased in metal housing. This provides little if any shock absorption. A johnny joint is similar however that metal spherical ball is encased in a high density "tough 88" urethane that allows for some give.
At the axle end we use a GIIRO Joint bushing which is pressed into a 5/16s thick housing. GIIRO is a free pivoting, self-lubricating, self-centering, silent in operation and maintenance free bushing. Its structured anatomy matched with superior material formulation allows two distant worlds to meet as one, providing the desirable comfort for daily driving and easily transitioning to meet the extreme limits on rugged off-road terrain.
With GIIRO, the days of compromise are over!
Between the improved geometry, quality johnny joints and maintenance free GIIRO bushings, along with our lifetime guaranteed control arms, this is the best and last kit you will ever have to purchase.
