Expert Reply:
In order to use a tow bar with a set of welded-on d-rings which are commonly found on aftermarket Jeep bumpers you need a specific type of tow bar, one that mounts on the motorhome when not in use. The Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar part # RM-520 and Blue Ox Alpha 2 Tow Bar part # BX7380 are both examples of motorhome mounted tow bars and are excellent options to use, the best value for the money.
In order to use either tow bar with a set of welded-on d-rings you will need an adapter which are specific to both the brand of tow bar and size of d-ring/pin. For Roadmaster Tow Bars we have part # RM-035 for 3/4" thick d-rings and part # RM-035-1 for 1" thick d-rings. For Blue Ox Tow Bars we have part # BX88357 for 7/8" pins and part # BX88358 for 1" pins. The Blue Ox adapters come with spacers to fit a d-ring thickness of 5/8"-1" and the Roadmaster adapters come with spacers to fit both 7/8" and 1" pins. .

I have the Falcon 2 and the adaptor D-ring 1”.It’s a 2015 wrangler JKU - I’m having excessive sway in the vehicle back and forth when I’m going 75 mph on the Texas highways. I see the 1” have some play in them I believe the D-ring mount is 7/8ths (Smittybilt Atlas Bumper). I’ve had new tires, re aligned. Any thoughts will be greatly helpful, I don’t want to damage anything.
