Help on new suspension ...

Dear Forum ...

I am Fabs from Germany and new to this forum ... this is amazing here and great to see all this experts and knowledge!
I am thinking of upgrading my 2016 Rubicon 4 door to a new coilover suspension, new axle and 40” tires… Currently I am running a AEV 3,5 Zoll DualSport RS suspension, as this is road legal here and was a start. Currently I use the Jeep also for work and lots of milage on the highway … and tow a trailer with it.

Now I was looking into the EVO MFG Front & REAR DOUBLE THROWDOWN EVOLEVER System ... upgrading my axels to the Dynatrac Hard Core ProRock 60/60 Axle-Set and going on 40" tires... see details list down at ideas.

Now my questions:
How does this drive in “daily use” on the highway with this suspension, vs. a regular 3,5” lift I currently have.

Can you still tow with this setup?


Thank you for your help ..
Fabs

I'd get a PR60/80 at a min with 40's unless your building it for looks.

Since you have to be road certified I'd check with your inspection station to see if it will be accepted.

It drives pretty much as good if not better than a stock setup. My wife can drive our rig and there is no loss of road handling at all. In fact, it will handle WAY better than your current lift once you get the suspension setup correctly. I would recommend the long arm upgrade though.

Yes, of course, but with the added weight, you will be dealing with less tow capacity for the simply fact you already have more weight on the Jeep itself. But, the increased axle size and strength will allow you to tow more, you just need a bigger engine.

These are all perfect ideas and you will not want for anything else but the aforementioned Long Arms. As you can see from my signature line below, I have a lot of the very same things. I can tell you I am VERY happy with my setup and I thank people on this forum like Eddie, Sharkey, QuicksilverJK and benatc1 for all of their help, expertise and assistance.

Bis dann!!
