We can get you all the parts needed to flat tow your 2021 Jeep Wrangler with a SmittyBilt Gen2 front bumper with 1 inch thick shackle mounts; what you'll need are an adapter that mounts to your bumper, a tow bar, safety chains, wiring, and a braking system. I'll make a list of the exact parts you'll need for your Jeep with the SmittyBilt bumper:
- Adapter for Extended D-Ring Bumper Mounts to Roadmaster Motor Home Mount Tow Bars # RM65FR
- Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-522
- RoadMaster 64" Double Hook, Straight Safety Cables # RM-646
- Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 4-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15247
- Demco Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # DM86VR
The Roadmaster adapter was made specifically to accommodate the shackle mounts on the SmittyBilt Gen2 bumpers, which are more extended than on other bumpers so it's exactly what you need. The Falcon tow bar is the best option due to its long 53-1/2" arms which make it easier to maneuver when towing your Jeep, and because it's simple to use with a latch that allows you to disconnect even if your Jeep and motorhome aren't perfectly in line.
I really like the Flexo-Coil wiring kit because it is a diode system designed to prevent any type of electrical feedback, helping keep your Wrangler's electrical system safe. And as for the braking system, the Stay-IN-Play DUO is easily the best because it gives you braking proportional to that of your motorhome. This results in much smoother braking than most systems which send out a pre-set amount of braking power, for a more comfortable and easier-to-control ride when flat towing.
