Coil Lift + Towing - experiences?
Anybody running a coil lift and towing, particularly with 4dr. Have Sahara with 4.10 tow package and plan on adding a 3" coil lift and 33s. Don't want it to ride like a bulldog.

I tow with 35s an 4 inch lift, I have to say the jk is not the greatest towing vehicle, I don't think having a lift would make better or worst. the height affects you as you get more wind resistance, but thats the only problem. everything else stays the same , lift or no lift don't expect to go that fast, also your mpg drops a lot.

I have the setup you are asking about 07 JK Unlimited 3 inch lift and 33's
We towed a trailer to Camp JEEP 07 From Pa to Virginia no problems. just keep te towing basics in mind especially with oversized tires. braking distance DRAMATICALLY INCREASES. 33 is not much bigger than stock Rubi tires but they are bigger. More rolling mass = more momemtum = more braking required to stop. now add a trailer and all its weight and it takes a lot longer to stop. just use common sense and watch your speeds. I had no problems at all and the trailer weighed about 3000 pounds after it was fully loaded with 5 days of camping supplies for 5 people.
