Always pull from the frame, or from a Trailer Hitch Receiver. Never try pulling from an axle, as the heavy stress put on the axle can damage the axle, driveshaft, U-joints, etc.
Personally I use either a tow strap, or a chain specifically designed for recovery. Either one will work, and use your tow hitch as a connection point, don't just wrap the strap around the hitch receiver as it will slide around reducing the effectiveness of the strap or chain.

I also have a Cherokee sport, 1994. The trailer hitch is bolted to the frame, and is a better choice than the axle, as the chain or rope won't move and damage parts like brake lines, etc. The trailer hitch is built to take it, as long as it's a Class 2 or better heavy duty unit, with 2" square drawbar.

Use the tow hooks if your Jeep has them NEVER use the trailer hitch or the Jeeps axel.
Hope I could Help

should not be any problem tour trailer hitch is connected to frame which is the best part of vehicle to pull from rather than any components..
