Tom, I think I would get a new tow bar. That can't be good for the Jeep front-end or the tires.
MM.
X2. I think the problem is with your tow bar. Our Blue Ox & Jeep poses no problems.
The Blue Ox works on the same principal as the Falcon, they both extend and lock.
we simply are aware of the problem, and make our turns a little wider and smoother. It only happens in sharp turns.
OBTW our hitch is 11.5 feet behind the rear axel. the jeep is 5 feet behind that.
Our coach has a tag axle but the pivot point is the drive axle. I've never measured the distance but it has to be about the same as yours. Our tow bar from the hitch to the front of the Honda is probably 3.5-4.0 ft.
I have raised the tag many times to make that sharp turn. I'm telling you that I've been amazed at how sharp I can turn our coach. Thank goodness the steering tires are behind the driver's seat as I can hang the front of the coach over a curb and make the tightest turns. The Honda steers normally.
Safe travels,
MM.
