KC, If you will permit me to rephrase your question, it might be "do I need an equalizer hitch to tow with a Jeep Cherokee?" I don't have an absolute answer but it depends on the overall loaded weight of your Bambi relative to the weight, spring capacity, distance from the hitch point to the rear axle, and tires of your Jeep. A Bambi is a light trailer and Jeeps are a utility vehicle with stiffer springs and components intended for harder use than cars and probably biased toward a rougher ride. My guess is you can tow a Bambi with a Jeep Cherokee without the hitch assembly but you might want it for additional safety. A welding shop familiar with towing hitches can separate your shank from your hitch head and "reset"a the hitch to match the towing height of your Jeep and Bambi. I think I have paid $40 for the job in the past. Don't "junk the monster." If you decide you don't need the hitch assembly after towing your Bambi while full loaded, Merry or others on the list would probably purchase it from you. --- Original Message ----- From: K C <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > I tow my 2000 lb. 1962 16 ft.L.
