You may have the dreaded caliper failure. Which is primarily right front brake caliper locks, warps rotor and warps the wheel. Some have reported left front and a few with rear brakes.

Best part is, I've had the rotor, caliper, pads, even the wheel replaced and eventually returns, one way to test for it is drive the jeep and slam on the brakes, does it pull slightly to the right, careful though it could pull real hard.
I love my jeep but hate it too.
one more thing try towing with the front sway bars disconnected, the rubicons have a heavier spring rate than the regular Unlimiteds.
I've also had this very thing happen.
