Default Rough Country 3 1/4” lift payload?

2007 JKU-X
A few weeks ago the wife and I lifted the jeep with a 3 1/4” Rough Country lift kit with N3 shocks. Running Hancook Dynapro 35” tires.

I’ve been discussing about how much weight, specifically a camper, that we can carry with this new lift and tires. I’ve tried to do the research but I cannot find a single thing about this.



Please someone help us out, it would be much appreciated.

You are referring to towing a small travel trailer or popup? Or a loaded roof rack with a tent setup? Something else?

Adding suspension is only one part of the towing capacity equation. So what towing capacity do you currently have by adding the lift and tires? Same as stock towing capacity, likely less due to the increased weight of the tires.

What about axle gearing? What about increased braking? What about transmission? If you've done nothing there, then you haven't increased towing capacity any.

Your stock towing capacity is in the owner's manual.
