Hello! Names Robert, just wondering about a question to do with tow weight.. I know the Jeep it'self stock is only rated for 2000 lbs tow weight and 300 hitch. With that being said, would having a Dana 60 rear axle, and a Dana 35 in the front change this at all? Or would you just be stuck with the fact that the wheel base is just too short, and even with such beefy axles you can only haul so much, Thanks in advance!! I shot a few pictures in the hello chat, but here is a couple of the same I have handy at the moment, just to give an idea of what I'm working with, since I'm a first time Jeep owner and am looking to learn! In short, I was curious if anybody had an estimate or even a personal experience of if this may be capable of hauling a little more. Wondering because I'm looking into towing a light weight RV around occasionally with it, and would really like if I could safely get away with hauling something more around 3,000 lbs... :driving:
