Your payload will be your limiting factor.
Start with the payload capacity then subtract
passenger weight,
items carried in Jeeps weight
Hitch weight.
What you have left is your available tongue weight.
When looking at advertised tongue weights remember those are without Batteries, propane and tanks, plus a portion of whatever you put in the forward part of the trailer.
Normal tongue weight should be about 12% of the total trailer weight.
