Question: Would the JT Rubicon suit my needs for overlanding? I have concerns on the Rubicon's max payload capacity. Seeking advice from experienced overlanders.
Rubicon payload capacity (Standard) = 1190lbs.
Family of 4 = 650lbs.
Tent/awning = 200lbs.
Steel Bumper = 50lbs.
Winch = 100lbs.
35 inch tire = 15lbs. (Weight difference between 33 and 35 spare tire)
1190lbs. - 1015lbs. = 175lbs.
I have 175lbs. Left for for food, water, clothes, tools, safety gear, and additional equipment.
I am assuming I would need to purchase heavy duty shocks/springs. Is this correct? I will lift my Gladiator but from my understanding most lifts actually worsens your vehicle's payload capacity right?
