It adds up fast: 10 gallons of fuel: about 65lbs. 10 gallons water: 83.4 lbs. some tools 50-100lbs. That fridge fully loaded: IDK, camping gear 50+lbs. other food:??? Passengers: couple hundred lbs. a full size 35in. Spare hanging way out over the rear bumper (even on a stock wheel) is going to be around 25-45lbs heavier than your stock wheel and tire depending on what tire you get and what tire you currently have.
My solution, since I just bought the springs, and didn't like how they sat, was to take them back out and through a spacer on top of them in the rear only. Cheep and easy, but eventually as I continue to ad weight, I will be replacing for heavier duty springs.
That's why the Jeeps come with the factory rake, so that they aren't dragging their tail every time you put a little camping gear in the back.
As with all things Jeep: plan ahead, try to buy only once rather than twice.
Hope this helps happy Jeeping.
