Helpful Expert Reply:
Each of the # RR5K D-Ring Tie-Downs has a 5000 lb capacity. Although two of the rings would have plenty of capacity for your Jeep, I would recommend using four of them, one near each corner. When you are securing a vehicle to a trailer, overkill is never bad.
To secure your Jeep to the rings, I would recommend the Erickson Car Tie Down Kit, part # 08504-05 which includes an axle strap and ratchet strap. You would need four of them.
