I'm about to buy a 2dr JLUR that has a 2.5" EVO long arm lift and 37" Nitto Ridge Grapplers. It doesn't have the factory tow option so I will buy a hitch and hook up. But my question is its ability to tow my jet ski's (main purpose for which I'm buying it). I have 2 Sea-Doo GTI's (dry weight 790lbs each) and a double trailer (probably a bit over 500lbs). Add 100lbs fuel each then anchors and miscellaneous nonsense I'm at 2300-2400 lbs.
I think I've read on here somewhere that towing with 37's is more difficult, is that true? I've never towed with a Jeep and with Jet Ski's I would need to pull them on an incline out of the water. The 2DR JLUR already has steel bumpers front and back, winch, 5 big wheels etc. so would it be able to tow 2300+ lbs? I'm not going very far, I usually just drop in at a local marina. But would a trailer that heavy be too much weight for the Jeep to handle? Would it be dangerous?
Any input would be helpful because this 2dr Jeep is an amazing deal and I really want it but if necessary I can pass and get a 4dr JLUR
