Default Towing a Trailer with the EVOLEVER rear suspension,....?

I am contemplating installing the EvoLever rear suspension. But I just bought an Adventure Trailer Chaser and am concerned about any potential problems with this set up and stability while towing.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks in advance!

I have the EvoLever rear suspension and plan on towing my
2 jet skis this spring/summer. I don't see any problems.

You should have no issues with a trailer of that weight. We have customers that run these.

Actually the EVOLever is the only rising rate suspension system available which is very advantages with payload additions, aswell as being one of the reasons it works so well overall.

EVO

I have the Evo suspension and have no problem towing a Starcraft 11RT which weights around 3500 lbs.

Did you have to go up on the spring rate very much, and if yes, did it hurt performance/ride when not towing?

I am running the EVOLEVER rear coil overs now and will tell you that it drives FRICKING GREAT! Pulling the trailer has been NO PROBLEM, and has actually been better with the EvoLever. And I will also say that the Jeep has less body roll by far. I also installed the CurrectLinc which tames the front well, but the rear is MUCH TIGHTER and more stable. I kept my FT Heavy Duty Sway Bar and have it at the tightest setting, as always on road, and there is NO comparison as to how the JK drives. If you can do this EVO upgrade, do it.
