I have a similar solution that might work well for you, but our off-road bumpers for your 2017 Jeep Wrangler like the Rampage part # RA88509 are not rated for flat towing even though they have D-rings on them. I was able to confirm with my contact at Blue-Ox that the above bumper will work with the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit part # BX1134. So what that means is that you can install this bumper if you like and still be able to install a base plate kit to allow the vehicle to be flat towed.
