Hey Dave, between the Draw Tite front hitch part # 65069 and the Curt # 31432 I would go with the Draw Tite as it has higher weight capacities and also currently it is priced better! Is this for a plow?

Hey Dave, did the Draw Tite hitch work out for your Wrangler Unlimited? I'm curious to know if it met your needs, as it could help others looking to make a similar choice.

Overall I was satisfied, however there were a number of small items that would have greatly improved my experience. The handle nut handles should be at least a half inch longer. While they do extend beyond the frame opening they are very difficult to align because of the short area to grip. To install the driver side hardware, remove the pump completely - dramatically improves the ability to install. Installing the upper handle nut is much easier form the top. The lower driver side hardware did not fit, I installed a 7/16 bolt - perhaps that should be included. Trimming the plastic shield took as long as installing the hitch. I trimming template would be an enormous help
