I assume that tow package equipped liberty have a class III hitch?

I just put my gas tank skid on (finally) and am not 1000% on the 6 bolt thing.

Would fitting a class 4 hitch be worth the trouble? Would it be possible to extend the towing capabilities of a crd with a better hitch?

I mean, is the hitch the limitation?

The class three is 500/5000 or 600/6000 with weight distribution, right?

Yes on class 3 from factory.

Is the CRD' towing weight rating higher than the gassers 5k# rating?

Dont think it is..

The limitation of the kj isnt the engine, tranny, hitch, etc, its the length of the jeep, weight, and the frame. You can put a class 5 hitch on it if you want but the hitch wont do anything if it gets ripped off the jeep or the trailer pushes the jeep through a wall.

kj comes with a class 3. Youve got to have the 6 bolts for the weight distribution.
