If you check out the install video I attached you will see the Invisibrake # RM-8700 installed in a similar 2013 Jeep Wrangler as your 2017 model. The process will be the exact same. That being said I would recommend the DUO part # SM99251 instead. Our installers prefer the install and performance of this kit to the Invisibrake. I attached an install video.

For a base plate kit you would want the part # RM-521448-4 which is a confirmed fit. I attached an install video for more info for you to check out as well.

The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground.

For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV.

Most likely you will also need a high low adapter so that the tow bar will be level when you are flat towing. I attached a link to a page that has all of the ones we carry.

I have included a couple of helpful links to our articles on flat towing for you. Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual for more specific information on flat towing your vehicle.
