Jeeps can pull along quite a bit thanks to those lovely little in line 6s. The problem youre going to run in to is trying to stop. My father regularly pulls around a large camper with his 98 sahara edition, but he has had an issue once or twice with the brakes locking up. Dodge makes some pretty crappy stop hardware, so make sure everything is in good working order before towing anything.

But still, I wouldnt go much over that tow limit. Also, that lift might kill clearances for the back of the trailer which could cause significant damage, not to mention having that hitch higher makes towing more of a hassel.

it'd significantly reduce the ability for you to accelerate. your going from like a 28" tall tire, to a 36" tall tire. the truck is going to have a lot longer gears, meaning less mechanical advantage to push the truck along.

some jeeps can pull, but wranglers and stuff cant, not much anyways. cherokee's can tow pretty decent but it all depends.

the 4cyl wranglers can only tow 2000lbs, or 1000lbs if they are automatic, they just dont have the power. found this little tow rating chart from Jeep.

Cherokee/Wrangler 2.5 I-4 2,000 (a)
Cherokee/Grand Cherokee 4.0 I-6 5,000 (b,c,d)
Wrangler 4.0 I-6 2,000 (f)
Grand Cherokee 5.2 V-8 6,700 (b,c,d,e)
Grand Cherokee Limited (4WD) 5.9 V-8 5,000 (b)
NOTE: Trailer brakes required on all trailers weighing more than 1,000 pounds.

(a) Automatic Wrangler rated 1,000 pounds.
(b) Requires weight-distributing hitch with a maximum hitch weight of 750 pounds.
(c) Requires trailer-towing package.
(d) Requires automatic transmission.
(e) 4WD rated 200 pounds lower.
(f) Maximum hitch weight of 300 pounds.
