Select the year of your Jeep Grand Cherokee:
If you own a Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ from 1999 to 2004, you know that the factory setup can be a bit of a mixed bag, especially when it comes to handling larger tires. The stock 3-link rear suspension paired with either a D35 or D44A rear axle is decent, but let’s be real: when you start cranking up the tire size, things can get a little hairy. That’s where this axle truss comes in, and trust me, it’s a game changer.
This truss is specifically designed to work with the factory 3-link setup, but if you’re feeling adventurous, you can upgrade to a 4-link suspension for even better performance. The beauty of this truss is in its design—it's got keyways that make assembly a breeze. You won't be wrestling with a ton of parts here; just bolt it into the factory location and reinstall your rear 3-link mount without a hitch. Once that’s done, you’ll want to weld the keyways and the truss to the axle tubes. This step is crucial for beefing up your axle’s strength, especially when you're pushing it with bigger tires.
Now, if you decide to go the 4-link route, you’ll find that the upper mounts align perfectly with the laser-etched marks on the truss. Just weld those mounts in, and you’ll be set for some serious off-road adventures.
One thing to keep in mind: while welding is necessary to achieve the full strength of the truss and axle combo, it’s not a must for the initial installation. You can get it all set up and running before tackling the welding part.
So, if you’re ready to give your Jeep Grand Cherokee a serious upgrade, this axle truss is a solid choice. It’s built to last, designed for easy installation, and will help keep your ride strong and reliable on those rugged trails.

Clayton Offroad has been setting the standard for long-arm suspension kits since 2001. In November of 2002, the brand became the first suspension manufacturer to offer long-arm suspensions for all four of the major Jeep models: the TJ, XJ, WJ, and ZJ.
Clayton Offroad wasn’t established on a business plan, but rather started out as a hobby with a solid business philosophy that prospered. The company is dedicated to providing its customers with the highest quality and most durable products available on the market with great attention to customer service. At Clayton Offroad, they aren’t just working on manufacturing Jeep parts, they are also competing at local competitions, riding on the trails with local clubs, and out 4-wheeling with their buddies.
Born from a Personal RealizationThe co-owner and founder of Clayton Offroad, Clayton Walters, began operations in a one-car garage. He started out designing and manufacturing rocker panels and bumpers for his own Jeep ZJ. In 2001, after daily driving a ZJ with a 6-inch lift and short-arm suspension for a year, he realized the need for a new suspension system to make his car a pleasure to drive again. In June of that year, Clayton Offroad Manufacturing, LLC was born and debuted its ZJ long-arm suspension at the Grand Slam East event in Gore, Virginia. The suspension proved to be a huge success after being driven over 400 miles to try its luck at the toughest trails at the event. Later that year, Clayton Offroad was producing ZJ long-arm kits in full swing, followed by the release of the XJ kit, WJ kit, and eventually a TJ kit.
In 2007, with the new Jeep JK hitting the market, Clayton Offroad began assessing what type of lift was needed for the model. Taking the design improvements on the JK into consideration, the brand came up with a standard length-based control-arm suspension.
Products Tested to the LimitsClayton Offroad is more than just a suspension manufacturer; it also produces transfer cases, gears, lockers, driveshafts, and complete custom axle assemblies born from its drivetrain expertise. All of the product designs and developments are rigorously tested in real-world situations to guarantee safety, proper functionality, and durability. Throughout the years, Clayton’s products have been abused and tested in professional rock crawling competitions all across the U.S. The brand takes pride in using only the latest technology, including CNC press brakes, millers, turning centers, and laser cutters to offer quality, close tolerance parts for your Jeep.
