We tow a 2006 Liberty Sport 4x4 as pictured in my signature. We experience chaffing on the outer edges of the front tires, caused from towing. It happens during sharp turning at low speed. The Liberty can't turn fast enough from sharp right to sharp left, and in the reverse order. We have stock wheels and tires. I would think a more aggressive setup would be worse yet.
Do you with Wranglers experience the same?
We towed our modified '97 TJ Wrangler over 100,000 miles, and our current modified '13 JK Unlimited (4 door) Wrangler over 30,000 miles and have not experienced chaffing. My towing setup has very little free play, and I tow with the Jeeps tire pressure at maximum. Our '97 was lifted 4" with 35" tires, and our '13 is lifted 3" with 37" tires.
Just our experience.
But sometimes it's hard to avoid doing so, especially in gas stations. I think someone had the right idea of maximizing tire pressure in the front tires so the cupping/chaffing is minimized.
