Would I benefit from putting my rear axle below the springs?

[Jerry]

Just wondering what the pros n cons are of this common mod.

Would it be a useful mod on my camper hauling MJ? And what's involved to do the job?

Just thinking about possible suspension mods 'cos I blew out one of the air springs again this weekend. No suprise really, I was wheeling up an undeveloped trail with a camper on board :fool:

i don't think it would because you wouldnt want 5+ inches of life carrying a camper. all a spring over does is give you lift

Why are you wheeling with a camper :dunno:

If I was regularly carrying that much weight, I'd go with spring-under springs. I bet HellCreek has something in that range.

Yep, you need new 5-leaf MT springs to take most of the payload off the bags. :cheers:

...and a hole in your bank acount from all the other parts for the front. Trac-bar, control arms, drop pit, etc.

OK thanks for the feedback guys. I have addaleafs already so extra HD airsprings or another leaf seems the way to go. Then I can break the rear axle instead :yes:

Because wheeling undeveloped trails without a camper is just too easy in an MJ :brows:

I think you've moved beyond the "throw another leaf at it" stage. :D the stock leafs are only so strong.
