When you have a car hauler that big with a small car being towed you can adjust the tongue weight by moving the car back and forth. In other words,you can manually distribute the weight without a wdh.
I had to find the sweet spot for my TJ as the first time I towed it I got some sway. Moved it forward 6 inches and life was good and still did not have bad squat.
I agree. Either move the jeep back or drop the plow down to the deck (this would be better anyway). With the plow off the ground the weigh is transferred to the back wheel. You might actually have to do both to find the sweet spot.

Do you have a brake controller on the JT?

Nothing as cool as those, but I towed my Willys project home from San Jose in September. It was pretty special for me. Towing a ‘61 Willys JT with a ‘21 JT. It’ll be quite a while before it’s going anywhere further than a couple miles from home, but can’t wait.

That’s really cool. It reminds me of a guy I know who tows his 911 race car with his Cayenne. Life goals.

That’d be awesome.
