Can Off-Road Bumpers for 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited be Flat Towed with

Question

Question:

I am looking for a bumper that incorporates flat tow capabilities. I have a 2018 with the factory steel bumper, and I added the Maximus tow hooks for that setup. This Jeep doesnt have the steel bumper and I would like to upgrade to aftermarket. Any suggestion would be appreciated

We don't have a list of bumpers that fit your vehicle that can be flat towed with. Your best solution would be to check with the manufacturer of the bumpers you are interested in to see if they will state it's okay to flat tow with them. Most likely you'd need to use a D-Ring adapter like the part # BX88358 which fits 1 inch D-rings.
