Hey Norm,
Your Rough Country bumper is mounted in the same location on the frame as where the baseplate brackets would need to mount so you would need to check with Rough Country if you can flat tow from the D-rings on it or switch back to a factory bumper. If you can tow from the D-rings then you'll need to measure how thick they are to find the right adapters.
If the D-rings are 3/4" thick then you can use the # RM-035, and if they are 1" thick you can use the # RM-035-1. These adapters would replace the attachment points on your Falcon tow bar # RM-520.
If you haven't picked out the rest of your flat towing components then I have the following recommendations:
Tow Bar Wiring: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This will transfer you motorhome's traffic signals to the tail lights of the TJ.
Braking System: If your motorhome has hydraulic brakes then you'll need the Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo # SM99251. If it has air brakes then you'll need the Demco Air Force One # SM99243 instead.
