Make sure its tow rated,, some of the aftermarket hitch's are not,, they say on them"not tow rated" these are more for bike racks etc.. they look like the real thing too,, but If I'm towing and it fails,, I dont want something like that on there,, I went with the factory from the dealer,, It was only $110 about, and rated to 3500# not that the jK is but its a nice margin of error..

I have the Rugged Ridge hitch, looks identical to the MOPAR and is plenty strong enough for towing....I've done it. As for jeep4x4center, that's who I got my bumper from...nice folks, and were quick to ship.
