HELP!
LisaJo,

I looked into getting a new 4 dr. Jeep to replace my 96 TJ, and looked into the new Jeep as another vehicle to pull my 2720 on shorter trips in the moutains around here. When I looked into the towing package, I realized that it came with a class 2 hitch. Most class 2 hitches come with a 1 1/4 inch reciever, but the jeep comes with a 2". BUT.....class 2 hitches are generally not recommended for a WDH. The minimum that I would have done (if I would have purchased the new Jeep) is to replace the hitch with a class III or IV unit. You would also need to be careful of the 3500 lb. towing capacity (keep your loads really light) and the somewhat shorter wheelbase.

And I would think that the spare tire on the back would only interfere with a sway bar, not the WDH, unless the height of the hitch brings it up to the bottom of the tire.....then that might be the problem.
