Hey Mike, for a 6-way mounting bracket you could use with the Pollak 6-way part # PK11609 you'd want the part # C92CR. What vehicle are you flat towing?

@Mike Nice! Do you have everything else needed to flat tow your Wrangler?

@JamesonC it looks like I'll need to mount the bracket under the baseplate which will reduce my ground clearance. Is there a flat bracket I could mount to the front of the baseplate?

@Mike there isn't a place on the bumper that would be better?
