I installed Timbren bump stops and tow a 6000lb 23.5 Jayco. Works well.

I have an after market RockJock Pro 3.5 lift. I get a little sag, but not much. The tongue weight should be 10% of the loaded trailer weight. My loaded trailer is 3000 to 3200 pounds. So that’s roughly 300 to 320 pounds. Basically half of what the hitch is rated .

I bought my JT used. How do I know if I have the max tow option? Is there a web site to run the vin and see?
Max Tow has the wide axles. You can tell visually by the little fender extensions not on a regular JT Sport. Not available on any other models or packages than Sport and Sport S.

So I looked up my Jeep on Carfax and the original sticker was on there. Not sure if the dealer that you bought it from can look it up for you. But if you download the Car care app through carfax it should be free.

I used to go to any CDJR parts dept and give them the vin to get a build sheet. Now I use the FCA Tools link which is much easier.

I've had Airlift 1000's for 3 years and tow a 19 foot travel trailer with the truck's bed loaded down with camping gear. The airbags are awesome - no affect when riding empty, but all the support needed when loaded down. Dirt cheap and easy to install, zero problems.

Air lift 1000. Work great. Easy to install. Watch the video how to fold flat and insert through springs with removing anything. Make sure and run hose down through top and hook to bag first is easier
