Request better hitch receiver then stock
I got the 2012 JKU sport with max tow package. If you've read my earlier posts you will see that I am pushing the rated limit by towing a small toyhauler. I have weight dist hitch, dual axle trailer brakes with proportional brake controller and friction sway control. One person said I should consider a better receiver since I am using the weight dist hitch. Can anyone recommend a stronger receiver compared to the factory installed one?

I will be replacing my stock hitch with a Curt hitch. I don't like the Draw Tite hitches. They stick out to far and if you look at it from a leverage standpoint the shorter the hitch the better. I like the design of the Draw Tite with the square reciver welded through the vertical mounting plates, it seems like a stronger design. But if you look where the hitch pin hole is on the two hitches there is quite a difference. So I will be going with the Curt hitch.
I would love to find a hitch that connects to the actual frame rails not the crossmember. But I dont like the "universal" design hitches.
