I tow a Honda HR-V - slightly larger version of the Fit, but still about 2500 lbs. I travel a lot in the western mountains and I wouldn't consider towing it without a braking system (I've been reasonably happy with the stay-n-play duo...) I'm not as concerned about being legal as I am about being safe but one accident in a state which requires brakes could ruin your whole day...or year.
I'd certainly recommend the 8" drop if you're not going to have supplemental braking...
