    I've got a brand new AllDogs 3" lift/coils/leaf packs with RadFlo all around and am about to add all the gear I once had on my JKRU to my 2020 DCLB on the UpTop Truss/cap rack.
    This does not include the kayaks and mounts that will come later.
    I've got some fairly heavy equipment to mount (spare gas, High lift, tools, ect), but my question(s) is this:

    After a major lift, coils, leaf packs ect, does it make any difference from side to side where the heaviest equipment is mounted?

    Should I just plod on as normal and halve things out 50/50?

    TIA

    As a practical matter I would assume that maintaining a well centered center of gravity would be standard to minimize the risk of roll over. A lift and stiffer springs can only heighten that risk. I can imagine there could be circumstances where you would intentionally do it temporarily.

    I place more stuff on the passenger side. Gas tank, driver, & battery are on the driver side.

    Thanks gents.
    I assume stock there may be more weight on the driver's side?

    *Edit*
    Just paid attention to the last bit.
