Sounds like you have a Ready Brute Elite tow bar which means you'll have to go with a Blue Ox base plate kit # BX1136 since we only have one adapter that fits your tow bar and it's the part # BX88297. This is the only solution we have for adapting from your tow bar to any of the base plate kits we offer.

I attached an install video for this base plate kit for you to check out as well.
