If you're into RV'ing the folks who made that video do great work. Keep Your Daydream on YouTube. Video quality is very good.

Back when I had my 04' Rubicon SWB manual trans., I used to tow my 6,000 pound boat on a twin axle trailer at up to 80 mph to the marina at the start and then finish of the boat season. 2 inch spacer lift and the jeep would squat about 1 inch. The only issue I had was after my trailer surge brakes stopped working. The fix was to start using the brakes sooner. One time I had to slam on them and slide to a stop. Never had any other issues, couldn't even tell I was towing anything. Probably wasn't the safest thing, but it will do it... not sure what the impact on the rear Dana 44 was.

Jerry Sweet GWR?....GCWR?.....GCVWR? I love it when you guys & girls start talkiing dirty.

Here is a great 15 min youtube that explaines it all. At the end the discussion turns to the ramifications is these numbers are exceeded.

Thanks for the vid link. I found an online calculator similar to the Excel he used. Hope this helps others.
