The 450 lb weight gain over the front axle scares me. Is the Jeep still going to flex or just flop being so unbalanced front-to-rear now?A new video about the diesel was posted with a little more detail.
Wow! That’s almost half the payload capacity of a JLUThe 450 lb weight gain over the front axle scares me
450 overall weight increase and not just over front axles. They added DEF tank, cooling lines, skid plates, and who knows what else. Nevertheless there will be added weight over the front axles.The 450 lb weight gain over the front axle scares me. Is the Jeep still going to flex or just flop being so unbalanced front-to-rear now?

Might get caught on a steep ledge but otherwise doesn't seem to badLooks protected to me.
There is a skid under the DEF tank, he talks about it at 3:35 in the videoI wish he had said if they protected the DEF dosage unit with a skid plate.
Given how much time they spent wheeling it to create different spring rates and shock tune, I doubt you’ll notice much of a difference. People have been adding this kind of weight and then some with overland builds forever and doing just fine on the rocks.The 450 lb weight gain over the front axle scares me.

I did not mean the DEF tank. The dosage unit attaches to the exhaust behind the engine. It squirts DEF into the exhaust. It is rather vulnerable on the Grand Cherokee.There is a skid under the DEF tank, he talks about it at 3:35 in the video
