Pulling a uhaul with 6" and 33s?

I'm curious what you guys think about my XJ's ability to pull a 4000 pound uhaul. I have a 6 inch lift on 33s. I've pulled a similar trailer with my stock XJ with no problems. I'm going just under 1000 miles.

Any advice is welcome.

I dont see an issue if you got good trailer brakes.

Ok, thanks for the reassurance.

Anyone else want to weigh in? Seems like no objections from the peanut gallery.

I killed a transmission by pulling XJ with another XJ on a car dolly, so trans cooler is a good idea

I was about to take the challenge yesterday, but my right wheel bearing went out. Then when we had it up in the air, found that my one of my tie rod sleeves was loose.

Glad it happened before I hit the road
