Max Tow springs on a Rubicon?

[Wheelin98TJ]

Question from a bit of a newbie to the suspension world. I am wanting to put Max Tow springs on my rubicon to stiffen up the rear end, especially when I load it up to max GVWR for campign trips with the RTT and all our gear. This will be in conjunction with adding some remote reservoir Fox 2.5 shocks.

However, since I've been having a hard time locating max tow takeoffs, could I add these Clayton Offroad 1.5" Triple Rate Springs?(https://claytonoffroad.com/products...l-springs-2020-jt?_pos=8&_fid=b68af14b1&_ss=c).

1. Would the 1.5" be too much lift without swapping out other suspension parts (control arms, track bars, etc.)?
2. Are there any other aftermarket HD coils that would be comparable to Max Tow while keeping it relatively stock height?

I don't really want to "lift" the truck. I'm ok gaining 0.5"-1" but was mostly hoping to limit this to swapping out the coils for a stiffer rear end.

Clayton springs run a little on the tall side because their lift heights are measured on a Rubicon.

You could run their 1.5" rear springs without any other suspension parts, but it's going to look weird with the rear higher than stock and the front still stock. You'd be exaggerating the rake it already has from the factory.

What about the Clayton rear coils with Mojave front coils (my understanding is Mojave sits about 1" higher than Rubicon in the front?) Would that eliminate the rake?

If I were going to run the Clayton 1.5" rear coils, I'd just get their 1.5" front coils too.

I'm not sure the Mojave coils would give you enough lift.

That's fair. Thanks for the tips. I don't want to modify too much from stock. My plan was just to do shocks only, but from the descriptions of the Max Tow rears in this thread and others I am very tempted. I daily drive my truck unloaded most of the time, but for quite a few weekends in the summer it's loaded to the max GVWR for camping/overlanding trips.

Check out air bags for the rear. Not that expensive and you can use them only when you're loaded up.
