I recently got a Jeep Cherokee 2001 4.0L V6. I am about to go on a month long tour where I will be driving the Jeep loaded down with four guys, plus some gear and pulling a trailer full of gear. Probably a 5X8 sized trailer, I am not sure what the weight will be but I have a class III hitch. I plan on changing all fluids and rotating tires before I take off. I was also thinking about adding and auxiliary radiator cooler and some leaf spring helpers to reduce sag. Are these good ideas? Does anyone have any other suggestions on how I can minimize strain on my engine and suspension?

I think it really depends on how much your towing. extra springs are always good, it keeps your headlights on the road ;-)

you'll probably want an aux. trans cooler as well.

You might want to consider an aux. oil cooler. http://www.jegs.com/i/Perma-Cool/771/10189/10002/-1

I6, not V6.

I don't like to correct people, but was wondering who would speak first.

Why not inform them so they better understand their vehicle?

ol"blue

I don't know, I just don't like to correct people. Just another one of my disorders I guess.

i'd look into making sure you got good tires, oil cooler, tranny cooler to maybe. Another thing is look into getting that leaf spring helper. with the load your describing your probably going to be dragging your jeeps *** on the pavement haha. just my 2 cents

i totally agree. you could probably get one from www.suspensionconnection.com i know they had one for my ZJ

Maybe they reduced their inventory.... looks like Comanches and CJs only. Maybe the Comanche has the same leafs . . . but I don't think so.
