Our XJ 3-piece cross member has been updated to work with both Automatic AW-4 and Manual AX-15.

The 3-link version comes with a cross member and axle side bracket. Separate 3 link bracket Must be welded fully before installing the cross member in the vehicle.

Clayton Off Road Inc. cross members are a 3-piece design. This 3-piece design allows us to bolt the cross member into the oem location and weld it in for maximum strength. The cross member incorporates the mounting locations for our long arms. Once the suspension is installed, the center section can still be removed to service the drivetrain.

Our new pocket design allows greater strength and protection for the recommended 2.5 Inch forged Johnny joint.

Cross member is designed to use a 2.5-inch Currie Johnny Joint with a 4 inch 9/16s grade 8 bolt.

Note: Cross member may be bolted in while it supports the transmission like factory. You Must weld it in before control arms are attached to it!
