Install notes and evidence

Clayton source wording says: A key feature on this truss is that it locks into the OEM cast in pumpkin mount. Verify position, lift-height range, joint/bushing style, axle side versus frame side, alignment effect, and whether this is a standalone replacement or part of a larger Clayton kit.

Jeep Wrangler Dana 44 Truss (2007-2018, JK)

Vendor fitment: 2007-2018 JK Wrangler. Suspension & lifts with 4 inch lift-height data from the vendor source. Confirm final options and fitment on the vendor page before purchase.

Our new Jeep Wrangler JK Dana 44 truss help strengthen the axle tubes on your Jeep. A key feature on this truss is that it locks into the OEM cast in pumpkin mount. You will need to press out, or cut out this factory bushing. Then trim the housings so that it fits into the 2 upper holes. Now you will be able to weld the truss to the axle tubes and also the center cast in mount. Designed to be used as part of our JK 3 link systems, this truss can also be used for custom applications. CNC Laser Cut & Bent 3/8" Thick Steel Keyed Design Locks Into OE Cast NOTE: Current version is 3/8s thick as shown in main picture. Vehicle pictures show older 1/4 design with bends front and rear. Same install.

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.
