is this product only used for towing and hauling?

I don't know. I have three kids and I need to haul them and all their sporting goods to all their events and camping stuff too! They work great when the van is stuffed full and they are not a hard ride when the driver is the only one in the van. A good buy, and I'm glad I bought them.

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.

They seem to work like a normal shock. The Odyssey has a coil spring and shock on the rear so I was worried the ride would be really stiff with this extra spring. I'm very please with the ride (nice and smooth).

Dude, you don't want this. This thing only tows old vehicles because if it has a driver side airbag the bumpers will set them off. The best thing to do is get a dolley. You can have mine if you'd like.

I use on my 250 truck And fully loaded 3 horse trailer. I think it helps both with traction

These aren't for towing regular cars. These are for tow points on 4x4's to use when getting un-stuck or as an assist in an extreme angle climb.

Yes, we use them for that very thing. They can also be used to load a lawnmower on to a truck or trailer. Lightweight but well made. Been very pleased with them.

It has a tow bar meant for a garden tractor. The axle width makes it unstable over rough terrain. I use a trailer pulled by my utility tractor when moving it across the rough pastures.

Hi Connie, The short answer is yes, however I need to qualify the answer. I used it to haul a 1967 truck, but I had to drill holes to accomodate the hitch. You will probably have to do the same for the Jeep application. One other word is that the manufacturer's instructions tell you to re-torque the nuts, bolts cap screws after 500 miles. My suggestion is to check them prior to the 500 mile mark as mine needed to be retorqued at 200 miles. Hope that helps -- It is a nice tow mechanism.--Cole

It can be used on all types of vehicles. You just need to have a standard trailer hitch 2" hitch vs the 1 1/4 hitch. If you don't have a trailer hitch for your car go with the bigger standard 2" hitch. Works great for loading a bunch of gear. I bought a 60gal cargo box with lock at home depot for $50 works great. (REI has one as well).Hope this helps!

Yes, it has a hole in the rear to hook up tow items. I've only used it for hooking tow straps to drag yard waste around so far, but I believe it works with all of the universal attachments.

We bought this specifically to haul a trailer. It just happens to work well with a bike rack even though that was not the intended use for our purchase.

I have used these pullies in a "block and tackel" setup in my garage. They are way more heavy-duty than is necessary for what I use them for. I use them to suspend kayaks, surf boards and a boat (~250lb sunfish sail boat). I walk, work and park cars beneath them, and have for years. They work great for this type of applications.

According to the literature and the display on the control unit, it will work on both a towing and towed vehicles. The digital display on my system shows the pressure for my 40' motorhome tires, and also has a display and feature for an additional towed vehicle.

Hmmm, although I have not tried it . Mine came with a steel bar to attach so a trailer could be pulled and having hefted it I know it would work for a tow hitch . But, personally I want my trailer hooked directly to my tow bar .

Great product !!They help hauling trailers to less rear end drop on the truck with heavyweight trailers. Like pull behind camper and car hauling trailers.

Yes, as long as the item you're towing isn't larger than a small car and not for very long distances.

I would definetly use it on a short wheel base vehicle. Pulling a trailer with a short wheel base is prone to alot of swerving especially in mountainous curvy terrain. Joe

This isn't designed to pull a certain weight... just harmonic balancers. It will pull the balancers off the specific vehicles just fine. I've used mine lots. Its great quality.
