  • Clayton lift in the Niner

    i was thinking about call this guy and guting the lift and other parts for the niner. the price is right and im sure he would take less

    think 7 inches is too tall? ( i feel like it is )

    after this weekend im much more interested in a low cog 4.5 ( or so ) long arm on 33/35's

    Mine at 5.5" is at the borderline of stability. I wouldn't go much taller unless you plan on going wider too.. I.e. axle swaps. You can sell the coils and do my setup or go lower, even. You'll have to remove the factory amplifier and bang up the floor under the rear seats to clear the rear arms though.

        im crossing into a gray zone for my knowledge of lifts, but could one just long arm the front end and use his new 3.5 inch short arm in the rear, and leave the front springs from the short arm kit up front

        ( can i buy a front short arm kit / mounts and use my rough country springs)

              You can Carbon copy my setup... Like Alan said, super stable on the highway and wheeled really well.

                That's a good deal for just the lift parts alone.

                  The one other thought I have on this I will never buy from a business that the owner is unable to understand how his people and actions affect me spending money. Especially when this is a service oriented industry. I will by from a similar company or build it my self and save in labor.

                      Yep. His people reflect on him. I've had a negative experience with his people and who ever answered the phone.

                        Go ahead. It will be inferior. This post that's quoted is useless.

                              What a bunch of fan boys. I had Clayton short arms they didn't do to much for me. Nothing about them blew my mind. Them when I called to as about a rebuild kit I got a shitty response.

                              I hate to say it but iro did so much better. You killed you bushings and bent it? We will send you a new trackbar. I know of 2 people who killed Clayton bars. Matt and Hux.
