After lifting all your jeeps at home yourself ..you make it look easy .. now you're a pro and enjoy doing this garage jeep works 😉😉

Great video, and thanks for showing everyone they can really do this at home. The only other thing I like to do, especially for when I do things myself, is paint mark the bolts after everything is torqued to spec. That way, after a break in period, it makes it easy to check if anything comes lose. Can't wait to see what it can do on the trail!

Absolutely perfect timing as I just purchased my AEV this afternoon!

I bought the Clayton 3.5 overland lift I am very pleased with it been trying to get my 2010 Jeep ready to head to up to Arkansas from Louisiana

Love the fact that u two are in this together and having fun while doing it. Enjoy the videos of you both. Keep it Happy!😅

That is a great-looking rig. Thanks for sharing this video. Can't wait to see it in person.

Ozark fam, love all your videos and just wanted to send my appreciation to you. My gladiator has been blessed with a touch of love and a whole lot of parts and knowledge thanks to y’all. ♥️

Matt, been a subscriber for a while now. This one definitely added to my appreciation for you and Cara. I'm a DIYer and this cemented me to do this mod myself. Probably the Clayton overland 1.5in for my 2dr Rubi. Keep up the great content!!!

I’m about to get my wrangler lifted in a month, perfect timing!!

I didn't even notice the bumpstops until reading through the comments. Thanks guys for the DIY inspiration!

The lift turned-out really nice - good stuff! 👍🏻

I certainly like my Clayton 2.5 inch premium lift on my Rubicon eco diesel.

Sweet nice video. Give me confidence to do things myself. Thank you.

I have the Clayton Overland Plus 3.5 kit on my Ecodiesel. Love it! I agree about the sway bar links, they suck!! They like to loosen up too, so watch that! I ended up ditching mine after a while and just put AntiRock sway bars on instead.

I really enjoyed this Video. Great Job guys!

Clayton needs to get it together with the sway bar links…I’m just going with JKS discos.

Nice work, Cara. It will be nice to hear your comparisons over the Rock Krawler. Your new intro is awesome.

Great job guys!

Looks great. Ready to see the new shoes on it and see it in action.

Great work Cara! Your build is looking sweeeet! Question on the torque wrench. It looked like Matt torqued the back before he let the jeep down which is the opposite of what he said to do on the front. Does it matter on the back like it does on the front? Love these I formational videos. My gladiator is still stock but I’m itching to do suspension at some point.

Great video and still a great looking rig. I’m eager to see how you like it down in HS with the additional lift.

I’ve been looking at this exact lift hard for my puck lifted JLU. I’m running 35s now, but the ride is pretty rough. I appreciate the “no maintenance” of the Clayton bushings…and the completeness of this kit. Now, Falcon or Fox shocks….hmmmm.

I’m fixing to put a lift on my Gladiator this weekend

woo hoo Moving on Up

Matt and Cara, do you think you’ll have any issues with the 37 on the spare mount? I noticed you already have the MOPAR hinge reinforcement, but will it support it??? I’m guessing so, but OEM stuff is sometimes… dumb

Do you need to do a 4 wheel alignment after installing the lift kit?

Hello if I understand correctly you had between 3.5 and 4'' of lift between before and after

What backspace is her wheels I just ordered the 2.5 and 4.53 backspacing wheels should I have any problems they recommend 4.75

How did you guys make sure your castor and pinion angles were correct? The last couple of steps in the directions.

Like your video I have a question on your suspension lift kit. I have an 18 JL Rubicon it is still stuck. I was curious to know how your new Clayton suspension performs on road and off-road compared to the stock suspension. Appreciate all your info you can give me on it.

Still happy with the 2.5 based on use, or would you recommend 3.5? 🙏🏼

Those types of sway bar end links are very common to save money to just have one sway bar end link for all the different lift heights. I'm only using the bump stop extensions that came with the XR package. It's working great!!

On the plus side, everything has bolts through and nuts threaded so I can just lift, loosen, align, lower, torque everything and I should be done.
