This base plate kit is made with a sturdy, dependable design that spreads towing forces evenly to help reduce stress on your vehicle’s suspension. The fixed draw bars bolt securely to the chassis with included hardware, creating a solid connection point you can trust on long hauls. With no welding required, it’s a straightforward setup built for consistent performance mile after mile.
When you’re not towing, the only thing visible are the base plate tabs—no bulky crossbar or protruding brackets. Snap-on tab covers provide a cleaner look and protect the tabs from dirt and debris. The high-density polyethylene covers even help cushion a bump if you happen to walk into the front end, keeping both your shins and the hardware in good shape.
This kit is designed for a simple bolt-on install using the included instructions and hardware. There’s no welding involved, and the mounting points are set up for a secure fit to your vehicle’s chassis. It’s a good match for anyone who prefers to handle their own setup without extra fabrication work.
If you’re using a Demco tow bar, this base plate kit connects directly. For other brands, Demco offers adapters (sold separately) that let you keep your existing tow bar instead of starting from scratch. The electrical bracket on the kit also gives you an easy spot to mount a round connector plug so your wiring stays tidy and ready to hook up.
The distance between brackets is 24" center to center, and bracket height is 15-1/2". These measurements make it easier to plan your setup and ensure everything lines up properly when connecting your tow bar and wiring equipment.

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