Ok been researching for supplemental braking for a Jeep Wrangler. What is the best system? I don't want a $1000 system that's gonna drag my Jeep around with the brakes on. Does everyone even use supplemental braking?
See my note above. ready Brute Elite tow bars have a supplemental brake included.

I do know it has a 5000lb hitch and our Jeep weighs 4400 lbs. I don't want a heavy aftermarket front bumper for towing and besides we like the bumper we have. Any recommendations on the best way to brake assist the Jeep?

Based on the specs for the 353, the weight (if this is the F53) from factory is 17,164, and GCWR is 26,000. That's a net of almost 9,000 lbs. IF the weight is accurate (and they aren't always) there would be plenty of capacity. Add fuel, food, water, people etc, and you would still be well within the max 5,000 lbs the hitch is rated for. If you add all the weight you would add (fuel, food, people, water, and the jeep) and it's under 9,000 lbs, you would be ok provided the jeep doesn't weigh more than the hitch rating of 5,000.
