OK so I am a Jeep Engineer....
6,200 lb towing capacity, 1,270 lb payload - These are just marketing ratings, your vehicles actual ratings will vary.
2,540 lb front & 2340 lb rear per CAT scale - You easily meet the axle ratings.
OK so this means that your JGC weighs 4880# (2540+2340).
The GVWR is 6500 so your JGC's payload (6500-4880) capacity is 1620#
The weight of your trailer appears to be 4860 (9740-4880).
So you have left out one important rating: GCWR
What you can tow = GCWR - 4860
Assuming you meet the GCWR requirement (Please post your result) I also concur that the WDH settings look ok as is....
