2017 RUBICON FOURWHEELER 500 WITH SILVERBACK TIRES DRIVER
Had I placed my front driver tire just 2 inches to the left, I would have been OK. I looked out the door (because of course I had taken the doors off) and realized I was off my intended mark. The BF Goodrich KO2 tires were trying their damnedest, but I'd gotten a rear wheel up in the air and the rocks were too slick for the remaining three tires to get a purchase. I was halfway up the rock pile before I realized I'd put myself in a precarious situation. Unfortunately, all the axle ratios in the world won't help you if you pick the wrong line. When paired with the super-low gearing it's possible to crawl over weighty obstacles with low speed and greater control. Sure, the axle ratio will cost you about $700, but it puts more torque to each wheel. Dana 44 heavy-duty front and rear locking axles, disconnecting front sway bar, 10 inches of ground clearance all are essential to getting to the top of the rock pile, but the keys are the 4:1 low gearing and the 4.10 axle ratio. With a towing capacity that s been boosted to over 1300 pounds, the new Rubicon can really pull a load.Still, this gas-powered dirt genius gets all the off-road goodies a wheeler could want. Increased Towing Capacity Got a tough job to tackle? No problem the Rubicon is up to the task. Independent Rear Suspension The Rubicon s Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) returns two big benefits: First, it helps ensure constant tire contact with the ground for superior traction, and second, it gives you an ultra-smooth ride over rough terrain, so you don t get beat up on the trail.

Front & Rear Preload Adjustable Suspension Preload adjustable shocks allow you to optimize suspension performance for various load conditions.
