Nilight 2" Rear Receiver Hitch Kit for Jeep Wrangler JK (2007–2018) — 3,500 lb Capacity, Plug‑and‑Play 4‑Pin Wiring

Nilight JK-61A is a one-piece, bolt-on 2" rear receiver hitch kit that restores factory-style towing capability to 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK models (excludes JL) and includes a plug-and-play 4-pin wiring harness.

This heavy-duty hitch is engineered to mount directly to the Wrangler JK's existing rear frame points, mirroring original-equipment fit and finish while adding robust towing function. Built as a welded single-piece assembly and finished in a durable black powder coat, the JK-61A aims to deliver long-term corrosion resistance and dependable load support for common towing tasks.

How much weight can this hitch safely carry?

The Nilight JK-61A is rated for up to 3,500 lb gross trailer weight and 350 lb tongue weight when used with appropriate weight-distributing equipment. Without weight distribution, the conservative rating is 2,000 lb gross trailer weight and 200 lb tongue weight. Always verify your Jeep’s own towing and tongue capacity in the owner’s manual before towing.

• 3500 lb max gross trailer weight with weight distribution
• 350 lb tongue weight with weight distribution
• 2000 lb and 200 lb tongue weight without distribution
• Designed to match common Jeep JK towing limits when installed correctly

Will it fit my Jeep Wrangler JK and how is it installed?

The receiver is designed specifically for 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK 2-door and 4-door Unlimited models; it is not compatible with JL series Wranglers. Installation is a direct bolt-on to factory mounting points — no drilling is required — and all necessary hardware and a wiring harness are included for a straightforward install.

• Fits 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK (2-door and 4-door Unlimited)
• Direct bolt-on mounting to existing frame holes, no drilling
• Includes mounting hardware and plug-and-play 4-pin wiring harness
• Receiver cover included to keep tube clean when unused

What materials and finish protect this hitch from rust and wear?

The hitch uses heavy-gauge steel with robust welds throughout the single-piece assembly to provide structural strength under load. A black powder-coat finish helps resist corrosion and surface wear, extending service life in wet or salty conditions common on roads and trails.

• Heavy-duty steel construction with thick tube sections
• Full welds on a one-piece assembly for improved durability
• Black powder-coat for long-lasting rust resistance
• Receiver tube cover prevents mud and debris buildup

Does the wiring harness require vehicle modifications?

The included 4-pin wiring harness is built to OE-style specifications and plugs into the Jeep's existing wiring connector, eliminating the need for splicing or permanent modifications when the factory socket is present. This simplifies trailer lighting hookup and reduces installation time.

• OE-style 4-pin harness included for tail, brake, and turn signals
• Plugs into existing factory wiring when present
• No cutting or splicing required for most JK models
• Wiring harness matches original equipment fit and function
