Does your trailer have brakes? I perhaps have pulled the heaviest trailer the furthest of most people on this forum. I used to have a toy hauler that was 5000 pounds loaded. I pulled this with my 2012 jku for probably 5000 miles over a 3 year period. The trailer had brakes, so I didn't have to rely on the keeps brakes alone. Not to derail the thread, but for anyone towing a heavy trailer I strongly and highly recommend the smittybilt XRC rear bumper. It is rated for 5,000 pounds. I love mine and it made a very big improvement for my heavy towing with weight dist hitch.
