The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98856 has a bolt-on installation. The hitch uses existing holes in the bumper beam, no drilling or cutting is required. You may have to do some weldnut cleaning if debris has built up, which is outlined in the instructions. It is also possible that you will have to remove excess welding from the cross member should any exist. Any obstructions must be removed from the cross member for installation of the hitch.
If you plan on doing some towing, I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118786. This plugs directly into existing wiring and provides you with a 4-way connection at the back of your Jeep to power your trailer's signal lights. If you need a ball mount, check out the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900. This kit comes with a 1-7/8" and 2" ball along with 2 different ball mounts with up to a 3" rise and 4" drop.
I have attached some installation and review videos for your reference.
