For flat towing your 2013 Jeep Wrangler with an aftermarket Smittybilt XRC bumper, I recommend the Adapter for Jeep D-Ring Bumper Mounts # RM-035. These attach to the shackle mounts and replace the D-rings on your aftermarket bumper.
Since you're flat towing, you will also need a tow bar, safety cables, a braking system, and a tow bar wiring kit. Here are some quick recommendations for each, if you need them:
- Tow Bar: # RM-522
- Safety Cables: # C80176
- Braking System: # BLU37TR
- Wiring Kit: # RM-154
