towing a jeep tj
I have a jeep tj that recently had a 3" lift installed. With the new lift the jeep has what they call body roll. Wondering now, how will the jeep react when being towed by my motor home? Anyone here tow a lifted jeep?

- I've got a 1-1/2" to 2" lift and it tows fine.
Bill - Another rookie,
Your new jeep, with its 3" lift, is very normal in the Jeep world and, also is very normal for many RVers that tow them. Many have lifts that are double that. I did for several years and towed it all over the western U.S.
Your "Body roll" is nothing to speak of. Sure, it's not as stable as it was when it was sitting at bone stock height but, it's not anything to be concerned about, especially when towing it. As stated, we towed our '04 Jeep TJ Rubicon with a 6" lift and 35" tires, all over the planet and, had absolutely ZERO issues doing so. We had no accelerated tire wear, no front end component wear, no DEATH WOBBLE, no ill-handling effects of the motorhome due to having that 4800 lb. Jeep tied to it, NOTHING!!
If you have any issues, with hooking things up, ask away, there's lots of experienced Jeep towers on here. Good luck.

P.S. Below is a couple of pics of ours. The Yellow Rubi we had a few years ago. The Red Rubi is one of our present toads and it's sporting a 4" lift with 33" tires.
