Re: anyone tow with lifted Jeep?
I've got a small trailer on my jeep, going to move a bunch of stuff to my new apt. I've towed a trailer to northern Vermont, then back with a motorcycle in tow. Smaller lift and "much" smaller tires though. It shouldn't be a problem at slower speeds.
As far as a drop hitch, I'm not sure. If you get the trailer level, measure the height. Then compare to the hitch location on the jeep.

Re: anyone tow with lifted Jeep?
Ish said it best - get the drop that will come closest to keeping the trailer level.
Pacifism is a shifty doctrine under which a man accepts the benefits of the social group without being willing to pay - and claims a halo for his dishonesty.
