I've got a '97 XJ with a 3.5" RE lift. I've got a D44 rear
with 4.56s and an ARB and 33 x 12.50 BFG A/Ts and it's a 5 speed.
I'm trying to figure out if I'm ok hauling a 3,000lb tent trailer with this set up. I've got a brake controller to handle the trailer brakes.
The Jeep was built as an Up Country with a bigger radiator with two fans, but it didn't come with a trailer towing package.
I've got a Tomken rear bumper with a 2" receiver. Hitch weight is probably about 200lb.
I know about the factory tow capacity with the stick which is low, but in the real world is this going to be ok?
Am I better off trying to pick up a wiring harness from an XJ with a tow package or just getting a new setup. I need a 7 pin set up so I'm ok with lights, brakes and power for the fridge in the trailer.
I'd appreciate any input.
