Towing it won't be the problem, stopping will! lol How good are your breaks, and does the trailer have a braking system?

I just added leafs in my rear and it helped a lot. I would change the brakes if your brakes suck being you will be stopping you vehicles...

junk yard a set of leafs frmo another cherokee and just add some leafs into your set already

I wouldn't do it without good brakes on tow rig and no trailer brakes.
