Default What to do.

I have always loved jeeps and when the made the 4 door jk I feel in love.My only problem is a tow a lot and have a 27 ft camper. I would love to get a 4 door jk and do a v8 conversion . I already have a dodge 2500 with a v8 5.7 hemi. I just was wondering after the conversion will I be able tow more and will it handle towing a 27 ft camper.What are some other things that I will have to change to get where I want to be. Thanks for any help I appreciate it.

That depends on a few things, the suspension will not handle a big tongue weight and the stock brakes will not stop it. I know all that depends on the weight of the trailer and they do make the newer ones lighter but that is a lot of trailer for even a modified JKU. I tow a lot as well and used an f250 diesel for all of that until I traded for my jeep. I have a 28 ft trailer and a 21 ft jet boat. I will use the jeep to tow the boat once in a while but the wife's expedition is now going to have to pull the trailer. But that's just my opinion.
