Towing with 3.21...
My 2-door JK has the 3.21 rear end with 32" tires...around town and on the highway it does just fine, but what about pulling a trailer? Not a big one, it's about a 6x8 or so....it was my dad's and it was left to me when he passed so I'll be picking it up soon. I wouldn't be doing anything major with it anyhow, but how would it do pulling a small trailer like that around with the 3.21?

You should be fine pulling a small trailer like that, just don't load it up unless it's a short distance. The weight rating is due to the suspension and flex built into the Jeep, more so than the gearing (my wife's van has something like 3.11 gears and is rated at 3500# towing), so around town, if you need to excced that for a short distance, you should have no issues, just watch the corners and quick maneuvers, oh wait this is a Jeep, sorry no quick maneuvers possible.
