I have a 2 door rubicon that i've outfitted for overlanding.
lift, winch, skids, roof top tent, etc....2 people, plus all my gear for a few days. I'm running Metalcloak Game Changer 3.5" lift (upgraded front drive shaft) with 35" tires. Stock gearing.
the Gross Vehicle Weight is 5,250 lbs. My fully loaded jeep with 2 of us is 6,200 lbs. about 18-20% over then GVR.
I want to avoid an axle or drive line failure while wheeling in remote places. I do like to wheel a bit in the rocks and some advanced intermediate terrain. Should I be thinking of beefier axels, gears, shafts, etc??? Am i too worried about this weight issue on my driveline?
Thanks
