depends on the weight of whatever youre towing and the ride height of the ball joint on the back. I'd have though it'll cause problems especially when you think about stanbdard cars towing sh1te like caravans - their back ends are usually slammed right down with the weight or the pressure pulling the nose up and the back down.

Might ground it on uneven roads...

Depends what your going to be towing. My brother is a towbar fitter and i can ask him if you have an idea of the sorts of things you willl be towing.
