Rubcion vs Max Tow Rear Suspension

[PyrPatriot]

If I could find a set of max tow stuff, including springs, for that I'd be all over it. In a heartbeat.

Right. But I dont know if what I got is from a Max Tow. Messaged seller (FB) about it. Seeing springs from Max Tow sports going for $200!

Fingers crossed - hope it is. You'd be making out great if so.

There are people buying Max Tow JTs and then selling the coils? Why? That's like buying a Rubicon and selling the lockers. You're taking away a big part of what makes that trim level what it is. Smh...

I hear what you are saying. The guy who sold me this (and it is from a Max Tow) lifted his and put on 37s, so he probably doesnt care about maximizing towing

Yep, it was!

Raised the truck an inch yeah a little softer ride

Are the Rubicon Rear springs taller than the Max Tow? (I have a Max Tow coming in and trying to figure out the best route for running 35's).

Height doesn't matter as much as how the springs handle the weight. Springs that are "softer" and yet taller will sit shorter installed than shorter springs that carry more weight or carry weight better.
So you need to judge that as well.
The max tow springs I put under the rear of my truck are a bit shorter than the Overland springs I swapped out and yet my truck sat close to the same when the weight of the truck was on them.
So you may want more data than just which sits taller unloaded.
Further - "Rubicon springs" covers several numbers, depending on the Rubicon they are for. A fully loaded Rubicon with all options, or a basic Rubicon. There are multiple spring numbers.

Thanks - Been reading through a bunch of other threads and I'm thinking for me, the best route might just be slipping in the smallest spacer needed to clear the tires 'IF' I have rubbing issues. I'd like to keep the load capacity of the Max Tow springs.

I sure do like the looks of a lifted JT, but if I'm honest with myself - I won't be flexing it too hard anyway - I leave the tough trails for my dirt bike.
