Is anyone running a Clayton premium lift kit? How is it for on road use?
Of these three, I think you'd be the happiest with the Clayton 3.5". Keep it local I say.

What is you budget, I'm trying to keep it under $2k so I'm down to the RK 3.5 or full traction 3.0. Dont forget to budget in some shocks. Good luck.

Don't forget about Trailmaster. They have a great 4.5" kit. Got mine complete with all 8 adjustable control arms, shocks, and new driveshafts front and rear.
The ride quality is great on and off road. Clears 37's with no problems. Didn't have to trim my pinch seam or rubi rails.
Here are a couple of shots of mine.

those are the highest recommended.
all depends on your $. you want the most complete set.

ones id stay away from:
rough country
pro comp
skyjacker

only because their lifts will sag over time. and arent made to accomodate extra weight (bumpers, winch, bigger spare tire, rock rails etc.) or also known as "non progressive" you want a progressive coil.
Agree with your stay away from list...
