I'm looking to upgrade my WJ to a long arm lift. I've got the rockkrawler 4.5 short arm kit, and I want to go to 6.5-8" with long arms. I was just wondering what company would be good to go with. It's down to three, Rockkrawler, Clayton's, or Iron Rock Off Road.
I don't have the best of ride quality right now, so I dint know if I want to go with RockKrawler again. I don't know to much about Iron Rock and how well their kits are built. Clayton seems to be the best choice.
Any suggestions on the these kits?
 
There is quite a bit of information on this here.

I bought my WJ with a RK kit already on it. The joints were loud, but the ride was great. I rebuilt all of the joints a few months ago, and the ride is great. You have to keep them greased or they will get loud. I really like my RK kit, but that being said...

Everyone who has Claytons loves the kit. If I were to purchase a kit, I would get Claytons. I like the subframe mounts.

I have a friend who is making his own long arm kit by measuring my RK. It really hasn't been that tough for him. It looks great, and would be pretty easy if you have the right tools. The hardest part for him has been getting the axles ready. He is using a front 44 and rear 9 inch. I am thinking of getting another ZJ to build, about this time next year. I will make my own kit for that.
 
Claytons, you don't need to replace the joints every 10 feet, it's stronger, it stiffens the unibody front-back, and the company itself isn't full of crap.

I don't have any ezperience with Iron Rock Offroad. Building your own is an option if you can fab, it's not that hard.
