no. trust me I'm a jeep guy. I tow with my WJ (check out my sig) its the 4.7 V8 and the WJ was heavier with solid axles. Its significantly more capable than yours and my trailer is significantly less (roughly 4000 lb) I am rated for 6500lb towing but I only have 1000 lb payload. Tongue weight (13 percent ish) is 520lb. that only leaves 480 lbs for the jeep and myself mywife and my kids take most of that. a weight distributing hitch will take another 80lb or so off that payload. I tow ok with my rig but would DEFFINITLY not go any heavier. you are trying to tow much heavier with less. BAD idea
