Agree with all the above. I love my Max Tow, and the 4:10's turn 35's with no problem.

Get the Max Tow! The ride doesn't suffer at all in my opinion. Most people leave the rear springs from the max tow on when swapping over the rubicon suspension. My wife has even commented about how good it rides. I had roughly 650lbs in the bed of mine this weekend, and since it has progressive springs, it drove great and I couldn't tell the bed was loaded down.

Max tow has the same suspension as sport, Max Tow does not change any shocks or springs. It has the wider axle.

Negative Ghost Rider... The rear coils are different on the Max Tow. The front I think are the same & I know the shocks are the same.

They show no difference on the build sheet, there is nothing that shows that my Max Tow got different springs, just the wide axle.

There is also nothing about different shocks on the Max Tow list of upgrades that are included in the package.

Its common knowledge that the Max Tow Rear springs are progressive. Here are some pictures for you. Count the number of coils & look at the spacing.
