I'm not sure I understand how towing will effect the front axle of the M38A1. I have towed a number of this family of Jeep many, many miles and never experienced any problems.

One problem that can be experienced with any A framing, is that on a corner, you can end up with the wheels of the towing vehicle turning sharply over and not returning to center, and then dragging the vehicle doing the towing somewhere where it shouldn't be. It is always desirable to have the vehicle doing the towing to outweigh the towed vehicle. Also, try and keep the corners as wide as you can make them, rather than really tight.

Quite frankly, I started using a flat deck trailer many years ago and all my A frame towbars have just sat unused since then.
