Hey Steven! Thanks for the pictures and measurements. It looks like those are 1" wide with a 7/8" hole so the Blue Ox Off-Road Bumper Adapters # BX88357 will fit. The one thing you need to do is make sure that bumper is rated for flat towing. It may be a heavy duty bumper but that doesn't always mean it can be used to tow your vehicle.
Do you have the rest of the parts you need for flat towing aside from the tow bar?
