Best Jeep JL Bumper to Flat Tow?

Ladies and Gents, just picked up the 2020 Entegra Anthem at NIRVC we ordered in Dec. It's a beautiful coach. Only issue, when I brought in my Rubicon with the Rough Country Bumper on it, NIRVC told me they can't set me up for flat tow because they called RC and the bumper was never tested for towing. Too bad, LOVE the bumper and my integrated lights.

Is there a bumper out there recommended for flat tow? I'm looking at Rock Hard now which seems to be a fav and reasonable. Will prob go with alum since the RC bumper and winch dropped the front end about 1.5+ inches. Any thoughts, help? Thx all Bart

PS. Going with my standard, AF1 second vehicle braking system and a BlueOx Tow bar.

Rockhard would be my choice based on experience and their reputation.

A spring spacer can be fitted to the front spings to compensate for the weight of a bumper and winch hanging off the front. Whether the bumper be aluminum or steel.

I would call the folks at etrailer.com before you buy a new bumper. They found a base plate to fit mine (Call of Duty MW).
