I'd ask the manufacturer what your rig can safely tow- but if the only info you have to go on is the GVWR and the(OE?)hitch limit, you might add those two numbers together and presume that's your GCWR. 3,500+12,500=16,000.
Next,weigh the loaded rig. No cheating! It has to be loaded for the road, and allow for you and any companions, too. Add the weight of Jeep, also loaded.
If with all that you're under 16,000 you're probably fine- but do change that hitch, please.
