Install notes and evidence

Clayton source wording says: Key Features: 3/16” Thick Steel Construction – Strong without unnecessary weight Boat-Side Frame Rail Coverage – Shields frame rails and tank edges Beefy Rear Support Brackets – Added protection where it matters most Countersunk Hardware – Smooth skid surface for sliding over obstacles Flat, Integrated Design – No overlapping seams or hang-up points Fitment & Notes: Replaces OEM gas tank skid completely (OEM removal required) Ties into the Transfer Case Skid & Skid Support Member for added strength Removable Rear Extension Bracket allows future COR rear long arm conversion, no cutting required!. Treat this as a suspension-system install. Verify lift height, shock choice, control-arm/track-bar contents, bump stops, driveshaft/exhaust/brake-line needs, alignment/caster, wheel and tire plan, and whether the Jeep is JL, JT, JK, TJ, LJ, XJ, or ZJ before checkout.

Product-specific install PDFs or videos are not captured for this record yet. Treat this as a source gap before quote, checkout, or labor planning.

Question

What lift height is this for?

Suspension lift height

This is a 2.5-3 inch lift-height family. Verify the exact engine, drive side, spring-capacity variant, and loaded vehicle weight before quoting because those choices can change final stance.

Fitment and build notes

Vendor catalog record promoted for browsing. Final fitment, install dependencies, and shopper selection still require review before checkout.

For a lift, the last check is the complete Jeep setup: exact year/model/trim, doors, engine, lift variant, target tire size, wheel width and offset/backspacing, bump stops, flare/fender clearance, gearing, spare support, added bumper/cargo weight, and whether a shop is installing it.
