Not quite powerful enough to tow?
I think the big difference is the transmission The 45RFE is a "truck" transmission The 42RLE is a "minivan" transmission No ever plans to tow with their minivan so the transmission is not geared for that This is also what makes them not so good Off road- J-Thompson

Not quite powerful enough to tow?

Towing our Liberty
Unless I am mistaken the KJ rear shaft is the same as the TJ at the rear yoke Remove 4 nuts and the u bolts Then duct tape and BIG zip ties to hold on the end caps and hold the drive shaft up This is how we have towed several TJ's wheels down but with bent drive shafts or busted T-case- J-Thompson

Good things come to those who wait!
As long as you use the OE upper strut mount and nothing else then no ,otherwise yes The main function of bump stops is over compression of the suspension components ,with the softer coils you will be fine I did not have them on my '03 and it had the Med duty coils at all 4 corners The...- J-Thompson

We need a new lift...
I posted this in another topic but I will put it here as well any thought to a true coilover They come in many lengths and can be "built to spec" Even shock valving can be customized They are all eye to eye so adapters would need to be built but that is easy and cheep- J-Thompson

Installing trans cooler
Your problem as stated above will only be cured with a better radiator that has a good trans cooler built in You have the 42RLE trans and the 1st gear is not low enough so to make it go the trans "slips" and thus generates heat You know this however If you lower your final drive gear ,4wd...- J-Thompson

Sorry They do not recommend after market bumpers no where on their web site besides that has no bearing on the shocks You still have yet to tell me what lift you have Is it a RK 3.5" or something else?

What are you talking about? You can install Genrite tube fenders up front and their full corners rear with a 3" flare on both and clear 33's with OE length bump stops on a TJ Add a very small ,2" or so, lift and extend the bump stops and there you have rooms for 35's But you still need...- J-Thompson
