Question:

I have a 2004 jeep wrangler unlimited 2door. Im looking for a bumper base plate and tow bar to be able to flat tow behind my motorhome. The jeep has a lift kit on it currently. Thanks

Expert Reply:

If your bumper has D-Ring mounts and is rated for towing then you could use a D-Ring adapter, if not and you have a standard bumper then you'll need to use a baseplate like the etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e98946. For the tow bar you can use the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e34ZR.

Since you have a lift you'll most likely also need to used a stacked receiver like the Gen-Y # 325-GH-314 to gain enough rise for the tow bar to stay level.
