97 is a TJ......
capable of towing a boat, but not fast, not great braking for anything over
say 4k.... and
make sure you don't go into corners too fast, because the coils are a softer
ride than leafs, and not as predictable for turning while towing...
also, if it's lifted more than 2.5" inches, I would hesitate to tow with it at all.
