the front of the car is a lot lighter than i think and since i have shortended it i have really got a lot more weigth on the rear of the car.
dont really want to have that extra weight on the bar permanently but think it might be a good place to put a easy to remove spare tire for the car

Now that you have found a solution to your towing problem you might think of ways to redistribute your existing load without adding additional weight that you will also have to stop.

Some ideas might be to mount your floor jack, the canopy, or race gas jugs (or anyone of the thousand things you take to a race) on the tow bar. One of my friends mounted a 2" reciever hitch to his front bumper and carries an extra VW swing axle transmission on a quick release bracket to the races just in case he breaks.
