view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution/Sway Control System for Tear Trailer Towed by 2018 Jeep Wrangler
- Although the Reese # 83660 friction sway unit you'd looked at would work with many different weight distribution systems as kind of a stand-alone or add-on, I'd recommend using a true combined sway control/weight distribution system like the # FA92-00-0450 e2 from Fastway.
This system is very effective on trailers with tongue weights up to 450 lbs which would be perfect for your teardrop camper, providing both weight distribution to eliminate any sag in the rear suspension of the Jeep...

- I understand your cargo carrying requirements and I can relate to the dog-friendliness requirement too. I have a suggestion that will let you approach this need from a literally different angle: a front-mount hitch.
Draw-Tite front-mount hitch # 65079 will fit your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited if it has the standard factory front bumper. This 2-inch hitch installs without drilling using included hardware and just a bit of fascia trimming will be needed.
The advantages of a front hitch...

- While I'm not able to verify if the B&W Pintle Hook Mounting Plate # BWPMHD14005 can fit without bumper or spare tire interference in the rise position on your 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited (we just haven't had a chance to test this), I did go out to our warehouse to take a couple measurements that should help you determine this.
From the center of the hitch pin hole to where this angled piece starts there is a distance of right at 6-1/2". Halfway up the angled metal this distance grows...

- In order to find a suitable bike rack for a vehicle with rear spare tire you'll need to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole to the outside edge of the rear spare tire. This can then be used to determine compatibility as we list the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the rack on most of our bike racks. The Swagman Current Bike Rack part # S64678 is a good option and measures 12-3/4" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of...
view full answer... - Solution to Use Thule Bike Rack While Flat Towing Jeep Wrangler
- It is true that you should not use your Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Platform Rack # TH83JV on your Jeep Wrangler when it is being flat towed. The reason is the amount of movement that far behind your motorhome results in the rack not being stable; this is also why this rack should not be used on the back of a trailer.
What you can do instead is use a dual hitch receiver adapter which will allow you to both flat tow your Jeep and use your bike rack. The correct one will depend on the rise or...
view full answer... - 4-Bike Rack Recommendation for 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JL
- Since there aren't any spare tire mounted bike racks that can carry up to 4 bikes your best option is a hitch bike rack that will have a long enough shank to clear past the rear spare. For that the option we have that has the most clearance is the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR which has a distance of 13-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin out to the nearest upright portion of the rack.
You'll also need a hitch installed on your 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. For that you'd...

- I spoke with my contact at Tekonsha regarding your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited. At this time, there is not currently a Plug-In Brake Controller Harness available for this model Jeep. He was not sure if the JL model is even equipped with a factory port that a plug-in harness would connect to. You can check beneath the dash of your Jeep to see if one is present.
Your only option right now will be to simply hardwire a brake controller to your Jeep.
If you do not already have a trailer...

- The Timbren Active Off-Road Bumpstops # TABSJRJK referenced in your question are confirmed to fit your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited. These are designed to replace the factory bump stops on your Jeep and will provide a stronger unit that will do a better job of supporting the rear suspension and absorbing energy and cushioning road shock. These should definitely help a bit with the rear sag on your Jeep when hooking up to a trailer, but it's not your best option.

view full answer... - Recommendation For Hitch Extender To Carry Thule Apex Bike Rack With 2018 Jeep Rubicon JL
- Before I can recommend a hitch extension, I need to find out the actual extension needed.
You will need to measure from the hitch pin hole to the rear edge of your spare tire to see how much length is needed for clearance of your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited. You will then need to determine the clearance needed by your bike rack by measuring the distance from center of hitch pin hole to the closest part of the bike rack. The difference is the extension size that you need (see article)....
view full answer... - Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform that Fits 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
- The mounting kit needed to fit a Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform to the roof of a 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is the part # RRRJLB1 which you could potentially be used with the smaller Pioneer Platform # JA8688 but you are going to end up having to get the # RRQMHD05, the leg kit # RRRLT600 and the # RRRLT600H.
I'd go with the larger # JB0893 though as it will fit and is the most cost effective solution.
The picture I attached shows what the # JB0893 looks like installed.

view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution System for a Forest River R-Pod 178/180
- The weight distribution system I recommend for a Forest River R-Pod 178/180 is the Strait-Line Weight Distribution System part # RP66072 which offers some of the best sway control available on the market. It is also offered without the shank which will be crucial for applications where the tow vehicle is lifted since most systems which comes with shanks won't accommodate a lifted tow vehicle.
In order to choose the correct shank you really need to measure (see article below) but the Reese...
