Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
I have a Rubicon and I noticed my rear end squatted more than I would like when I was in the bed installing my tonneau cover. Aside from me needing to lose more weight, this got me thinking about spring rates and possibly not leveling my Rubicon.
For my test, I placed exactly 250lbs. on the lowered tailgate and I measured exactly 1" of squat in the rear end (rear fenders dropped 1" measuring from top of rear tire to bottom of center rear fender). I conducted this test 3 times and every time my rear end dropped 1".
For those of you with a Sport Max Tow package could you guys/gals do the same test? I'm curious how much stiffer the Max Tow rear springs are.
