Default Towing a jeep in a lowered truck is not a fun way to spend memorial day weekend

Well this is what I got to do on this long deserved weekend. Truck handled like a champ but not something i'd do again in this truck. **** Uhual though, that trailer was the biggest piece of **** ive seen but it got the job done. If anyone wants a beater jeep ill let it go for 500 bucks ,I need it out of my garage.

Everyone Told You So! J/K

Looks like you need air bags so you can fix that squatting and then you join the club.

I'm not surprised about the UHaul problems. I was considering renting a trailer like that to haul an ATV, but they limit the speed to 45 or 55mph. No thanks, I'm not driving 45-55 on a 300 mile trip. Looks like you could have used a receiver with a bigger lift on it to make it more level.

look into some airbag helpers for the rear...i had them in my lowered ram and it made towing alot easier and nicer, but the ride improvement was like night and day....money well spent, I went with the kit from McGaughy's

Please do not pull somebody's else ****! I am the son of a family owned business, and with our trucks. I've finally had enough, and I refuse to use my truck that I'm paying for to haul their stupid ****. If they want something moved so bad, they can rent a vehicle. DO NOT use your vehicle for somebody else, you bought it for yourself. They aren't going to help you flip the bill when something goes wrong for the wear and tear on your vehicle for driving them around. It's not a ******** thing, but I'm so tired of people thinking you owe them something because they have a car and you have a truck.
