Helpful Expert Reply:
Front hitches and base plate kits typically use the same install points the vehicle frame so you would have to remove the front hitch or if you happened to have an aftermarket bumper there may be a solution.
If the aftermarket bumper on your Wrangler is flat and square to the tow bar, you could use a bolt-on base plate, part # BX88230. You will need a few more components though to complete the setup.
I recommend the Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar, # BX7380, and wiring # RM-15267. These three items include 4 of the 5 basic flat towing components that you will need to flat tow your Jeep.
The last item that you will need is a supplemental braking system, which almost all states require. The system I recommend is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR. This is a portable braking system that is easy to setup and use.
