Hi folks,
We are switching from a large 5th wheel setup to an RV. I obviously can't flat tow my dually and it is impractical to keep if I'm not towing with it anyway. The plan is to get a Wrangler JL Rubicon for flat towing. If I'm being honest with myself, I'm more excited about the Jeep than I am the RV!
Anyway, I plan on off-roading but I need to keep things practical for flat towing as well. I've searched the forms, but can't pin down specifics on some of these questions. I'm hoping the fine folks on this forum can provide some experienced feedback to give me some piece of mind that I'm making smart decisions.
1. Has anyone run into issues towing with a 2" lift and 35s?
2. I'm planning on using the stock steel bumper with a Warn winch and probably a Blue Ox baseplate. Has anyone with this (or a similar) setup had any issues with the front end sagging? I'm sure the weight will sag it a little, but I'm hoping it will be negligible. I do plan on going with synthetic to keep the winch weight down.
3. This is a little off-topic for this group, but does anyone have a similar setup with the 4.10 axle? If so, did you find it necessary to re-gear after the lift and 35s?
4. Does anyone have any suggestions for base plates that have a minimal profile and don't hurt the approach angle (or at least minimizes it)? Blue Ox seems like a good option, but I'd love suggestions if anyone has some to share.
Thanks in advance, can't wait to get this thing on the road and into some mud.
