Weight distribution puts a lot of additional stress on a trailer hitch which is why the hitch has to be designed, tested, and rated for use with weight distribution. Curt trailer hitch # 13412 does not meet the criteria so you cannot use weight distribution with it on your 1981 Jeep CJ-7.
You can still use an anti-sway device though. You would just need to use sway control bracket # RP26003 and then a friction sway control bar, # 83660. I have linked a video that features both of these... view full answer...

In order to install this heater on your vehicle, you will need a radiator adapter if you do not already have one. The correct adapter will depend on the diameter of your lower radiator hose.... view full answer...
What you have on your 1983 Jeep CJ-7 is a combined, 2-wire system. The brake, turn, and taillights may all use the same bulb, but they are on separate circuits. This means that if you use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 if needed and test the wires to the taillight you will find the following: one wire that carries stop and turn and one wire that carries taillight functions.
I have included a link to a video that might help showing a typical diode kit installation. Please note that the... view full answer...
You will need to test the wires on your 1985 Jeep CJ-7 to determine the functions so you can install diode kit # 48955. To do this you can use a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 or a meter if you have one.
There should be one wire that is combined left turn signal and brake light. Another that is combined right turn and stop light. And there is a running light only wire behind each taillight.
