Default Clayton Jeep JK 3.5in Lift Kit Anyone?

Thinking about this lift through NorthRidge:

With the Billstein shocks.

I'm not big into rock crawling, It's a day to day driver but I wouldn't mind getting out there in the future and doing some minor trail running.

Is this kit overkill for my use?

I have only heard good things about Clayton and you have to like their warrantee. Have contacted their customer service and received back very good responses.

I've got the 4.5" Clayton lift on mine. Bilstein shocks also. I was told by Clayton when I bought it that the only difference between the two kits was the springs. That said, I can tell you that mine performs fantastically both on and off road. I wheel a lot and finally got tired of the gas tank skid hitting every freaking rock in New England. Now I take the most difficult lines I can find and seldom touch down. For "minor trail running" it seems like overkill to me though. Clayton stuff is not cheap.
