They came off of a 05 TJ, which I have. I would like to ask, when flat towing your TJ, what brake system are you using? I will be towing it with my 1500 Ram Big Horn.

Fully self contained hookup and go, disconnect the hitch and drive the jeep. https://www.campingworld.com/roadma...6wbAK9IX0Wrb3qnHRCRoCqc0QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Reactions: DavidBT
