Correct Curt Base Plate Kit for a 2011 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon

Question

Question:

Curt customer service and their fitment chart says to use C33FR on the stock 2011 Wrangler Rubicon. Your site and other dealers application information indicate that the C38FR fits the Rubicon. The C38FR has shorter mounting flanges which tucks the base plate up tighter to the bumper, giving a better appearance. Have you confirmed the C38FR fits the Rubicon?
