Jeep aren't too interested unless I want to fork out $1000 plus fitting for new rear shocks with revised mountings.
I haven't had the car long and I'm just setting up for towing a caravan at 2100kg ATM, well within the car's capacity. My main question is, should I forget about going for more Jeep shocks just to get the new mountings, or would I be better off uprating to aftermarket HD rear shocks? I had Pedders HD rear shocks and coils put on my old Territory and it was a good conversion for towing. Does anyone have these or similar aftermarkets on the GC, especially for towing?

SouthernComfort, I'd remind Jeep there is a TSB Recall to rectify this issue for your build date!
I've had my MY14 Jan build done and it made a huge difference.
Sorry can't seem to see how to upload TSB PDF so here is screen shot of important details. Give it a go!
