Helpful Expert Reply:

I know this is not the news you wanted to hear, but both the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65069 and Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 31432 which are confirmed to fit your 2012 Jeep Wrangler will not be able to be installed with a base plate kit as they both install in the same area.

You will need to decide which is more important to you, and go with that.

For a base plate kit compatible with your Jeep I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521448-5 which will pair nicely with the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000 lbs # RM-520.

To complete you flat towing setup you would also need the following components:
Safety Cables # RM-643
Wiring # RM-15267
Supplemental Braking System # BLU37TR
12v Outlet Kit # RM-9332

I included videos for each of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
