Clayton Machine Works Long Arm Suspension Kits & Off-Road Components for Jeep & 4x4

Clayton Machine Works builds suspension systems for Jeeps and 4x4s that are actually going off-road — not just lifted for the parking lot. Their long arm suspension kits, control arms, and lift systems are fabricated from heavy-wall DOM and chromoly tubing with the geometry engineering and hardware quality that serious trail rigs demand. If you're building a Jeep Wrangler, Cherokee, or other 4x4 platform for rock crawling, trail running, or overland use, Clayton Machine Works is the suspension brand that doesn't cut corners where it counts.

Long Arm Suspension Kits

Clayton Machine Works' long arm suspension kits are the foundation of a properly engineered off-road suspension build. Long arm geometry dramatically improves suspension articulation over short arm designs by increasing the radius of the control arm arc — allowing the axle to travel further in both compression and droop without the binding and geometry changes that limit short arm systems at extreme articulation angles.

Clayton's long arm kits relocate the control arm frame mounts to achieve correct long arm geometry without the compromises of bolt-on long arm conversions that use the factory mount locations. The result is a suspension system that articulates correctly, maintains proper pinion angle through the full range of travel, and delivers the trail performance that a serious build demands.

Control Arms

Clayton Machine Works' control arms are fabricated from heavy-wall DOM or chromoly tubing with forged or billet rod end hardware rated for the load demands of off-road use. Their adjustable control arms allow precise pinion angle and caster adjustment — critical for maintaining correct driveline geometry at lifted ride heights and for dialing in handling on the trail and on the road.

Upper and lower control arms are available in standard and heavy-duty configurations to match the build's use case — from weekend trail rigs to dedicated rock crawlers where component survival under extreme stress is the priority. All Clayton control arms are designed for correct geometry at the intended lift height, not adapted from stock-length designs.

Lift Systems & Supporting Components

Clayton Machine Works' lift systems include coilover conversion kits, coil spring spacers, and complete suspension packages engineered for specific Jeep platforms. Their coilover conversion kits replace the factory coil spring and shock with a matched coilover assembly, providing adjustable ride height and damping in a package that dramatically improves both on-road handling and off-road performance.

Supporting components including track bars, sway bar links, brake line brackets, and bump stop extensions complete the suspension system and address the secondary modifications required when lifting a Jeep correctly — the details that separate a properly engineered lift from one that handles poorly and wears components prematurely.

Applications

Clayton Machine Works suspension products are engineered primarily for Jeep Wrangler (TJ, JK, JL) and Jeep Cherokee (XJ) platforms, with select products available for other 4x4 applications. Vehicle-specific engineering ensures correct geometry, proper hardware sizing, and fitment that works with factory and aftermarket axle, brake, and steering components.
