If you have the factory tow package on your 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee, a 7-way plug will installed a the rear of you vehicle next to or near the trailer hitch. If you have this plug, then you would not need a harness to wire a 7-way plug, but if you use # 118381 you can install a 4-flat plug on your Jeep if that is the connection that you need for your application.
If your Jeep is not equipped with the tow package, then you will need harness # 118425. This harness will plug into the existing wiring of your 2008 Jeep. The attached video link show this harness being installed on a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
If you are needing to also install a brake controller on your Jeep, you will also need # ETBC7 installation kit. This kit will allow you to install a 7-way connector and the extra wiring needed to install a brake controller, like # 90195.
I have linked some help articles that will cover wiring, and brake controllers for you to review.
