This setup keeps things simple and tidy up front. The Demco Classic Base Plate Kit uses fixed draw bars with no external crossbar, so only the compact tabs are visible once installed. Hidden reinforcement means less bracket showing, giving your vehicle a cleaner look. When you’re not towing, the included high-density polyethylene tab covers snap into place to block dirt and debris while protecting shins from bumps.
Towing puts stress across multiple components, and this kit is built to handle it. The durable steel brackets bolt directly to the chassis with no welding required. Its sturdy design spreads towing force evenly to minimize strain on the suspension, giving you confidence for long-distance use. It’s dependable hardware that stays solid mile after mile.
A simple bolt-on installation makes this a practical project for anyone who’s handy with tools. The kit comes with all necessary hardware and clear instructions, so you can mount it securely without custom fabrication or welding. Once in place, the distance between brackets is 30-3/8" and bracket height is 15-1/2", making it easy to plan clearances for your towing setup.
No need to replace your favorite tow bar—this base plate is compatible with all Demco tow bars right out of the box. If you’re using another brand, Demco offers adapter options so you can keep your existing equipment without hassle or extra expense down the road. An integrated electrical bracket also gives you a clean spot to mount a round connector for your wiring harness.

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

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.
