Question for the roof top tent owners...will it cause my jeep to sag in the rear

[harv3589]

New to forum and hoping someone can help me out...

I'm looking to put a Tepui RTT on on my jeep and was wondering if it will make it sage in the rear end? I have a Willy's with the stiffer 60/18 springs in rear and front plus Teraflex puck leveling kit. The rack I will be using is a Front Runner.

Currently it still has some rake to it even with the levelling kit, that maybe due to the ARB stubby front bumper and winch.

Other thing I was thinking is to add the Rock Krawler 1.5" springs...I don't want to lift it more than that. I hate all the other stuf it affects when doing so.

Thanks!
Rob

You are only adding +/- 100 lbs to affect sagging but the real question is what different characteristics to the ride will it be over stock. Remember you are adding 100 lbs or so to the highest possible point and it makes the rig handle differently. I wish I had went with the ARB heavy springs but I wound up I replaced replacing my rear swaybar with a hellwig heavy duty sway bar and installing a set of airlift 1000 lb air bags in rear springs to help with the load.

The tent I'm looking at is 165lbs then add in the rack is approx 87lbs...

I had the OME HD springs in the 2 Dr JK I trade off for this 4 Dr...liked them but it gave a lot of kift which then lead to more parts to replace. I'm trying to avoid that since I'm not a hard core off roader and this is for going camping in some off the beaten trail places

I would toss on a set of airlifts. You should be good to go.

I currently have 2 Tepui Ayers on top of my JKUR stock. I don't notice much change in ride or sag. You are aware of the weight up top, but not afraid to run down the highway or do city driving at all.

I wouldn't worry about it in the least.
