EVOa Smartcap owners - sag on stock?

[emzero]

Hey all - just bought a Rubicon X and I’m looking to buy the EVOa SmartCap. One quick question I have: does the addition of the cap sag the suspension at all?

I tried searching but wasn’t able to find my question, or maybe I’m just not asking it in the correct way. Thanks!

I noticed no additional squat in the rear of my truck when adding the EVOd. Mopar 2" lift. The tools I rotate in/out of the bed weigh more than the cap.

To expensive.. wow that's alot of something else that could be much more beneficial in my opinion.

Maybe for you? For me personally, I’m looking to increase the amount of haul space I have for camping, etc., family of 4 to carry stuff more secure than a roll cover.

Sure thing, sounds like a plan go for it.

Looking at them online two of them come in at a weight of 211 lbs., can't see that being an issue at all.

I have a 2020 Rubicon with an Evo Smart Cap and a winch up front. Things kind of leveled out with that setup. I had the winch first, so I really couldn't say if the cap caused any squat.

2024 Gladiator with Smartcap Defender, MOPAR lift and Bilsteins. cap weighs 211 pounds. I run a heavy 171 pound RTT and even with that and a full iceco fridge, 80 pound power supply and camping gear it still sits level

That’s good to hear. I haven’t decided if I’m going to run an RTT yet but I planned to do that lift.

I am very pleased with the lift, it's perfect for what I do, running the local beaches and mild off-roading in state forests. I got 3.25 inches out if it but over the past year has settled a little, still a solid 3 inches.

yea I don’t plan to do major off-roading with it yet. It’s my weekend warrior camping rig. So I planned to start with a 2.5 lift and build out something I can daily drive as well as get back in the woods.
