I have a 96 xj lifted with a 3" lift and 33"s. There's an aftermarket bumper on it as well where D rings can be connected. I need some help on what I need to do to get it worthy of towing behind my rv.
1. Since its lifted do I have to have a drop hitch or lift hitch at the same level as the tow bar? From the pics I have seen, it looks like the tow bar is the level with the ground when connected.
2. Some have talked about an adjustable tow bar like one from Reese w/o brakes and how effective they are. I am kind of on a budget, does anyone have this application? Does anyone recommend this over the brake system that is way more expensive? Is it worth spending a little extra to have the better tow bar for braking v. having the xj push me to a stop?
3. Next I have a 7 pin plug on the rv and have an adapter that will connect to a 4 pin. I have seen kits that look like they connect to the rear tail lights and then to the plug on the receiver. I know the magnetic lights are cheaper and I believe they both do the same thing. One just looks better than the other right?
Has anyone had any luck with a cooltech wiring harness? I heard that their customer service is terrible.
