Flat towing jeep behind TT

Has anyone done this?

Their website

Cowboy metals in Denver can weld a hitch on the back of my TT for $700 and they say it would be strong enough to handle flat towing my jeep behind it.

I have a smittybilt front bumper on the jeep and would buy a smittybilt tow bar kit so I can flat tow my jeep behind the TT.

Cowboy metals tell me the quality that they do will be strong enough and they guarantee their work.

I know this could be a hot topic but would really like to hear if others have done this, I did do a google search and it seems others have done this.

Thanks

    I am assuming you have a bumper pull TT. I did pull a small boat behind mine for many years with no problems but never traveled more that 100 miles from home. My Jeep is about 4000# and I think that would be a little much behind a TT.

    I see this done with a 5th wheel all the time and don't think that would be a problem.

    JMO, good luck.

    Around here I frequently see double tows in which both trailers are a ball hitch.
    I don't recall ever seeing a vehicle as the second trailer, though, but I have seen some pretty big boats and ATV trailers!
    Just remember, there are some states that require the first trailer to be a fifth wheel hitch, and Reciprocity Agreements probably do not apply. Be sure you don't go somewhere that the rig would be illegal!
    good luck.
