This is why I believe they recommend against it.  Land Rover and I think Land 
Cruiser too have extremely heavy ladder frames, so that shouldn't be the 
problem.  But if you use a weight distributing hitch, it typically levers 
against the back suspension to compress the front suspension.  However, 
levering against long-travel coil springs in the rear, I believe, would 
compress them too much as the "default" position.
