i know 2 people with TJ rubi's that have clayton long arm kits and they both had real bad death wobble and bump steer... we put in a Rubicon Express long arm in our TJ rubi and it drives like a cadillac.. it was a great kit and i would suggest it to anyone.
we have a 4.5in long arm and run 35's.. for you.. if you get a 4.5 in long arm (dont know what's out there for JK's) i would run 37's. that's the nice thing about JK's
I loved my RE kit for my TJ too, however there have been a large number of issues with there JK kits, both the RE brand and the rebranded Mopar version. Conversely there has been quite a few rave reviews of the Clayton lifts.
Nice thing about JK's is the ability to run large tires. 33's with just a leveling kit in front. With a 2" kit you can fit 35's. 37's on a 3.5 lift, and folks are running 40's on the 4.5-5" lifts. High clearance flares, or tube fenders give @ 1.5" of additional clearance. So with a 3/4" puck up front and a set of fenders you can run 35's with no lift!
