We do have the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5 available for your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited. This fits as long as your JL has the standard factory bumper without a winch or guard.
For a compatible tow bar I recommend going with the Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 along with the coiled Safety Cables # RM-643 which gives you a great tow bar and safety cables rated for up to 6,000 lbs.
Please note that a complete flat towing setup includes a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. If you do not have any of these products just let me know and I can make some recommendations.
