Saggin’ Recon

[Séámus]

Any advice for this? I have a 21 Rubi Recon package with the stock suspension. I’ve added a shelf, drawers, and fridge slide from American Adventure Labs in the back which has added some weight (can’t find any details on how much that has added with a quick search of their site). The picks from the red jeep is what I have…I just moved it to the green jeep. I also pull a Taxa Woolly Bear with a tounge weight in the 150 pound range. What would be the best way to reduce my rear end sag? I have some without the trailer, but quite a bit with it.

I’ve seen a few users running these to help with leveling out the rear; especially when towing.

I’ve considered ordering them myself for when we go camping as we got a lot of sag as well with two kids, a dog, and all of our camping gear in the back and on the rack up top.

I’ve been looking at those too. I wonder how they’ll hold up offroad?

Probably worth the few bucks to run through a scale with and without your trailer to see where you are and confirm tongue weight.

If you're flat or nose high with just the "trunk" load, it'd make sense to get some load leveling spacers to regain your rake. That may be enough to flatten you out with the trailer hooked.

I have them on my Jeep and like them so far. Not expensive and only took me a few hours to install. Im also pretty sure the bags have a lifetime warranty.

The only use I’ve really had is with a few hundred pounds of mulch from Home Depot and they held up well. I ran separate lines so they can be inflated independently, but you can connect them together and use only one valve.

Im picking up a pontoon this or next week that is about 2800 pounds with the trailer, so that’ll be their first real test.

I have an ARB compressor under my brake booster to make inflating super easy.

Thanks for that! Install looks pretty straight forward.

Yep. They’re kind of a pain to put in the hotdog shape to squeeze between the coils, but just jack the rear end up so the rear axle sags a bit and expands the springs.
