Etrailer.com has an 800lbs TW hitch for $200.
Is the trailer and Jeep Grand Cherokee setup in your signature the one you're talking about? If so, I would suggest you get a round bar WD hitch system. The reason is this will give you better ground clearance than would a trunion style hitch.
I'd think one with 800# bars would be the better than just barely enough, if you get a 550# for example you may find that it's insufficient as the numbers quoted by manufacturers are usually off.
My actual TW is 550# (manufacture claimed 230#), I just moved from 550# bars to 800# because the 550's were at their limit.. (and I wanted integrated sway control).
