  If the crossover tube on your 1996 Suzuki Sidekick 2-door is open you will need to use base plates # 118-3. But you mentioned that it is open with a bracket welded on each side. If that bracket is not blocking the openings on the crossover tube then # 118-3 is correct. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. The 118-3 base plates have a part of the bracket that looks like a tube that needs to be inserted into that crossover tube. If the ends are blocked then you...

• Baseplate And Tow Bar Compatibility For A 1996 Geo Tracker
  The Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar # RM-501 is compatible with the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # 118-15 so you shouldn't need any other components aside from some safety chains, like part # RM-643. If your StowMaster doesn't have the crossbar base assembly then you'll need part # RM-910012-00. You'll also need some lights like part # TL21RK in order to display your motorhome's traffic signals.
