| We need a tech article for the XJ suspension packages I have been looking for a long time at the comparisions(Rubicon Express, Clayton, Rough Country). But want is the real world difference say between CEG's 4.5's and his brothers Clayton kit. This will be a daily driver build for my 01' but I am up in the air with what lift? |

IMO: the real world difference between the two is that the Rough Country lift will leave over a $1000 in your pocket over buying the Clayton. 
More seriously the Clayton kits move the control arm mounts off the weak XJ "frame" and puts them on a custom and very heavy duty cross member. This is a pretty serious advancement between the lift kits that leave the control arm mounts in the factory locations.
However: If you don't have the welding skills or know someone that can weld really good... then I recommend you stay away from the Clayton's.
I'm going to add frame stiffeners to my XJ and keep the Rough Country control arms in the stock location. I might add the drop brackets but not sure yet.

Another XJ winch bumper option:
Similar to the one above but this one doesn't have the sides/ends on it that wrap around the fenders.

This is what I would like to build next:
Either BLACKED OUT or WHITED OUT with the Rough Country long arm kit!
Must be 1997 or newer, or I will take the front end off a 1997 and newer to put on a 1996 and older.
