Reminds me what Rick Wagoner (GM Pres) said back in the day of fuel crises. When asked why GM was building so many large cars he said there was more profit in a large car.

I have a set of air lifts for the Jeep and have never bothered to install them. When hitched to the TM the rear drops less than an inch and can't measure the front rise.
Of course the axle to hitch distance is less than a third of the wheelbase so not much of a lever (have never seen that formally mentioned but is why 5th wheels are popular).

Believe it or don't, there were many many factors in my decision to buy outside GM for the first time since 1978, the technical specs for the Jeep were just on the "sweet spot" in nearly every area back in '12.

ps the VIN of the 2017 2720QB at Prosser, 4T9AF2014GN085034, does not bode well. (hint "T9" in 2-3 and "G" in 10.
