You ever tow with a Jeep Pablo? Not fun. I towed a pop up to Michigan International behind my dads Wrangler. Puckered the whole way. The trailer weighed more than the jeep I think.

If it's a CJ they're squirrelly enough with nothing behind them!

My parents Tahoe pulls their 26' camper like nothin. No Val it wasn't a CJ but I know what your talking about. My dad is a Jeep guy and thats how I got started with engines. It was a 76 with a factory 304. It was built with a Eddy performer package and was built for low end torque by retarding the cam 4*. It would jerk the 33s in first. LOL one winter he dropped me off at high school and proceeded to whip figure 8s in front of my principal. The principal wanted that kids name. I laughed and said Oh thats my dad, he stormed off. Never broke 60 MPH in it EVER it was just to hairy.

No I haven't but I can see where it my be kinda like the tail wagging the dog. His Dad's Tahoe would definitely be the way to go if that's an option.

Do any of u guys have your car lowered? If so what are some good springs to do it? And is this bad to do would it affect the car at all?

I run protouringf-body GEN II all the way around. They're the lowest priced. Dave is one of the nicest guys you'll talk to. Customer service is second to none. I can't tell you how they ride though. I'm still building.
