Oh yeah, another argument I bring up. - the Liberty can be rated for 5,000 pounds of towing. In what world should the liberty which is lighter, shorter, narrower, and less powerful, be physically capable of towing more than a JKU?

You forget that our ProGrip kit also comes with larger diameter, heavy duty rotors for all four corners along with the equally heavy duty caliper relocation brackets, and specially formulated compound pads. And all of those items are Made in America, not imported.

And when you talk to people that have installed a ProGrip kit versus cheaper options, you'll see that it is very much worth the cost, especially when larger diameter wheels and tires are being installed, and more leverage is needed by the brakes to get the Jeep stopped, or to hold position when on the trail, on both inclines and declines.
