yeah... my bad. ClassIII is #5000 weight-distributing,
#3000 normal. I have a ClassIII hitch... that's as big
as the manual says to go... *with* tow package mods.

Re: Best hitch for '01 XJ?
Do a search for "hidden hitch". That's what's going on my "new" 99 and you
also might need the left "stiffner" or nut strip. Look up into the holes and
see if they are threaded, if so you already have it. The later models come
with the right side already on. These are dealer items and the rear bumper
must be taken off to put them/it on.
