Hi Tim!
We have a few base plate options available for your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK Sport that can be used with your Blue Ox Avail Tow Bar # BX7420. There are a few guidelines for the fitment, but I have those listed below:
Rubicon Hard Rock Edition or Recon Edition and ARB Stubby Bar (does not fit if equipped with a Quadratec QRC Front Winch Ready Stubby bumper):
Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX1134
Standard Factory Bumper with no winches or guards (does not fit the Hard Rock Edition or 75th Anniversary models):
Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX1126
Off-Road Bumper with D-Ring bumper mounts:
Blue Ox Off-Road Bumper Adapters for Blue Ox Motorhome Mounted Tow Bars - 1" D-Rings # BX88358
Blue Ox Off-Road Bumper Adapters for Blue Ox Motorhome Mounted Tow Bars - 7/8" D-Rings # BX88357
If you don't see the bumper you have on your Jeep listed, let me know what you have and I can look into it. Do you have all the other parts to get set up to flat tow your Jeep?
