Will it hinder my towing capabilities?

Not at all. I pull a 19 foot boat and had no issues. Just had to get a longer drop hitch.

It depends on the lift, but you should be able to with no problem. We just use a simple lift and it works fine.

HiYou would need to remove traction bar unit first then you can back up. Pull two pins and remove unit. Put back on before towing again. Hope this helps

The u bolts that attach it to your springs are adjustable to your needs. Mine ore about half way. It makes a huge difference. Adjust it to what you like or need for you to haul your stuff

I wouldn't think so, but check your owners manual to see if towing is allowed. If so, it will give you the lbs. allowed.

NO! The extension is rated for less than your winch, and the extension would increase the side loading WAAAAY too much.

I towed a Jeepster (equivalent in weight to a CJ-7) with it behind a BMW X-5 Diesel, and it was fine at 65 mph. I didn't experience much wind, but as long as the tow vehicle is not out of alignment, the tow bar should be fine. Note - take the time to stop and check all connections every hour or so. Better safe than sorry, as bolts can work loose under that kind of pressure.

The tire size on my splitter is 4.80 x 8, load range B, 4PR, max load 590 lbs at 60 psi cold. According to the owner's manual, the maximum safe towing speed is 45 mph. (it makes me wonder if there are other factors that affect the safe towing speed, like no suspension, and a fairly high "center of gravity.") I estimate that the majority of the weight is at least 24 inches from the ground, which combined with a wheel track width of less than 4 feet, I suspect it could get real spooky on any road surface less than ideal. -Just saying,,,

Normally anything under 5000 will be just fine with a regular hitch. What are you towing with?????

You seem to be doing pretty good so far. And remember you will want to position your trailer so it is even when towing. Thank you

Rodney. It should work just fine. I tow a 30 foot travel trailer and it solved my problem. Don

I don't think so. It will help but I think that water will still it the trailer being towed. After you install the fender you might went to customize a tire flap or mud flap. Enjoy your ride.

I believe the answer is yes but you can be sure by looking on etrailer.com, one thing I would mention is be careful towing with any front wheel drive vehicle and make sure you stay well below the stated towing capacity. I learned the hard way, bought a van I thought I could tow with and checking forums found out front wheel drive vehicle are just not suited for frequent towing, too much torque on those transverse mounted transmissions, and will decrease the life of your timing belt. Check edmunds.com as a starting point.

Yes, You need to have a class 4 hitch. This will allow you to pull max weight.

I used it for assisted towing on a boat. It could help hauling heavy items and people. So far it has been reliable, but it has its own limitations in super heavy weights. Stock shocks are worst when it comes to towing.

Yes it can be towed while on. Our's is designed to be towed in down position less wind resistance and less abuse to windshield. There are bumpers that protect hood.

I think so. If you feel the price is right. In many cases you can also tow with it while using carrier connection. Well made.
