There are a couple of things to consider when flat towing a vehicle behind a 5th wheel trailer. First, your pin box needs to be rated for your trailer loaded weight as well as you towed vehicle weight. You also will need to have a trailer hitch on your 5th wheel rated for the weight of your towed vehicle. For example the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 22" to 66" Wide # C13704 is rated for 5,000 lbs towing capacity which will work well for a Jeep JK 2 door.

You will still need a 7-way on the back of your trailer as well as a complete flat towing system. I'm happy to help further if you need specific towing components for the Jeep. I just need to know the model year. I've linked a help article to assist.
