Question:

I tow a boston whaler currently. If I get the integrated 2inch hitch the verbage says the 2inch receiver is only for Light loads not towing. Do you have a rear stainless bumper i can tow with ?

Expert Reply:

The only stainless steel rear bumper we offer for your Wrangler with a hitch is part # RA8448, and is designed for accessories only and not for towing as you said.

If towing is what you want a trailer hitch for I recommend a trailer hitch like part # 13408. This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2 inch receiver opening. This hitch has a towing capacity of 4,000 lbs. You will also want to check the owner's manual for towing capacity of your Jeep.

Since you want to tow with your Jeep I recommend the etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
