I have an 87 xj with the original towing package and it only has a dana 35 axle and it looks like pretty small leaf springs. can i still tow stuff even though the strength in the back of the suspension is weak or should i not? i plan on maybe towing a 16 ft. sailboat a couple times this summer and would like to know if it well kill my jeep or ruin it at all. thank you
 
Drive it like you stole it!

Seriously though, you can tow with the D35.

I towed a 99 dodge stratus (on a 2 wheel dolly) from Seattle to Philly w/o a problem. Well, one problem......horrible gas mileage.

Run it with 75-140 synthetic gear lube and you should be fine.
