Dropping the tent would of course be the easiest option.

What lift and shocks do you have and can you post pics of your front and rear swaybar links?

Are you driving it offroad more than say fire roads into camping areas?

Stiffer springs...

Here's what I'd recommend and it's essentially what I did. Load your vehicle up as you would for an excursion and then take it to a truck scale and weigh it. Then, work with your local offroad shop to get custom springs made for the weight you are carrying.

I mean, AEV makes an HD spring that you could use but then you still don't know (until after you purchase and install) if they will properly handle your load.

Until you weigh your setup, fully loaded, it's just expensive guesswork to find the right setup. The shop that installed my lift worked with Deaver Spring to have springs made that placed my load weight right in the middle of the spring's working range. It's probably the best way to approach the issue but not what people seem to have the patience to do...

I have a CVT rrt that is 153lbs, the fishbone tackle half rack that is 115lbs and the body armor rear steal bumper that is around 100lbs plus about 200lbs of gear. With the stock Rubicon suspension. Are there any HD springs for just the rear that will work?
