When you’re logging serious miles, you need hardware that can take the load. This custom-fit base plate kit spreads towing forces evenly across the chassis to help minimize strain on the suspension. The sturdy steel build uses hidden reinforcement so the bracket stays dependable and solid mile after mile.
If you like a simple, factory-style look when you’re not towing, this setup delivers. It has no external crossbar or large protruding brackets—only the base plate tabs remain visible. The compact design keeps the front of your vehicle neat and easy to walk around when the tow bar is detached.
A straightforward bolt-on design means no welding or fabrication. The base plates mount permanently to your chassis using the included hardware and instructions. With a bracket spacing of 31" (center to center) and a height of 18-1/2", it gives you precise reference points for fine-tuning your towing setup.
Already own a tow bar from another manufacturer? You can keep using it. This base plate is compatible with all Demco tow bars and can connect to other brands when paired with the right adapter (sold separately). An electrical bracket is built in so you can easily mount a round plug connector up front for a tidy wiring setup.

For weekend installers, this kit keeps things simple. Everything bolts securely into existing mounting points with no welding required. Clear instructions and all necessary hardware are included, so it’s ready for an at-home project that ends with a solid, confidence-inspiring towing connection.

After one year, the base plate kit is still going strong as ever. Nothing has broken or come loose.

Working great. Been out several times and my tow vehicle follows straight as an arrow. No complaints.

After a year, baseplate works great. Changed tow bar to a non-ball type. No baseplate connection issues.

I have had this in operation for a year now and I am still just as happy as I was the first day. Great product.

Hi Don. Per Demco, the # DM9518010 is a fit for the 1998 Jeep Cherokee, unless it has the front skid plate removed or if it's equipped with the up-country suspension or Tow hook pkg.
