I've attached a screen shot of my weight distribution calculator.
Good catch, I did remember to leave the tongue weight off of the final calculation for GCW. I love Excel...
Ok... So more clarity.
I weighed my rig today at a CAT scale with a fully topped gas tank (Went from the pump to the scale, Me not in it because those scale intercoms are setup for semi's not JTs!)
The results:
Steer Axle: 2,700#
Drive Axle: 2,460#
GrosVW: 5,160#
GVWR: 6,250#
So, true...
Thanks!
So a few items: The Teraflex parts are VERY beefy. And, with them being adjustable, I can dial in the geometry to be in the highest performing position (safe).
Good to hear someone else validate what I thought of the BFG's for capability.
I ran the exact same wheels and tires on my 2012...
I am selling my 2020 Gladiator Rubicon wheels and the Flacon MT's (33") that came on them (all 4 + mounted spare).
They have less than 300mi as of July 20th and I don't drive much each day.
They are available as soon as my new wheels and tires come in. (Going Big)

Thank you for chiming in on this! Yeah, I would trust about 25% of the RV sales people I have talked with about weights and real world towing performance... Most of them wouldn't know the math you need to do to figure this all out.
Piling on your thread a little, but adding a new question to the mix:
I am in a similar scenario, but have not picked the travel trailer yet.
Me: 2020JT Rubicon, 1112 Cargo Capacity on the sticker, 7000#/700# rated towing weights.
I am lifting theJT (2.5" Teraflex with fully adjustable...
Which Feather is that? We are looking at travel trailers too. This one and the 18RBM are on our list!
My thoughts are around tongue weight and how close it makes it to GVW on the Jeep side of the equation.
Any additional information on what you have on your rig? Which skids, tires, etc? Also...
Tagging onto this post: I'm working out the optimal backspacing with 2.5" of lift on a JT Rubicon with 315/70R17's (12.5" wide). I don't have the maths figured out to calculate full steering lock positions when flexed and stuffed. Anyone done those calculations yet?
