I weighed about 7,000lbs when it broke. A pretty easy trail at Beasley Knob, but did it just right.
I have since removed the camper and have a topper on it. And went up to 37s.

That’ll do it. As much as I’d love a camper top, mine is like 6200 with a soft topper. I’m in a constant battle between strength/armor, and weight.

@Dickster The stealership said they tried that, but who knows. My JT goes to my indy mechanic in January for unnecessary upgrades, I will have him change the fluid and see. The odd thing is that it does not do it every cold start, just randomly. It may do it every day, then not again for five days. Same temps, same parking spot.
Could be sign you pump is going. If you find the indy can get a inline pressure Guage you can test the pump for pressure or spikes. It just could be bad fluid maybe some water in the system.
