Expert Reply:
The biggest difference between Curt Hitch # 13430 and # 13408 is that the # 13430 has a round cross tube whereas the # 13408 has a square cross tube. This difference is primarily an aesthetic difference since both of these hitches have the same towing capacities. Another difference between the two hitches is how it attaches to the frame of your 2006 Jeep TJ. I attached a picture that shows the different mounting methods each hitch has.
I also attached a picture of both of these hitches installed onto a similar vehicle for you to check out to see how they compare visually.
I attached installation instructions for both of these hitches for you to check out also.
