No, I was looking more at weight, not towing. Mainly looking at the increased tow weight as a correlation to reduction of squatting when loaded down. Do you have any experience with air bags? I’m just now starting to research them but from the way I understand how they work, it seems like a good way to use them while loaded to reduce squatting and not use them, ie have them aired down, while not loaded to have a normal ride. My concerns would be durability of the material if they are constantly rubbing against the springs when dirt and sand gets between them.My last two were Overlanding vehicles.
Your just looking for the increased weight capacity right, or are you actually looking to tow? I used an AEV suspension on the last two and beefed up some of the suspension bits up front too for the larger tires. Carried the extra weight with zero issues. You are NOT going to tow more than indicated. Vehicle isn’t long enough to counter the sway. Compare the JT and JL and you can see why the JT has the increased towing capacity. If you absolutely need to tow and want the engine, look at the Power Wagon as a platform, it makes for a fantastic Overlander. DM me if you want to know more.
