Expert Reply:
The base plates that are designed to fit your 2005 Liberty and work with your Stowmaster tow bar are part # RM-521423-4.
These are the EZ4 base plates, and have removable arms so it gives your Jeep a nice clean look when they are removed.
The EZ5 base plates, part # RM-521423-5, will not work with any tow bars that use a hitch ball and are designed to work with tow bars that slide into a trailer hitch.
For tow bar lighting I recommend the Hopkins Custom Wiring, part # HM56203.
To determine if you need the brake light relay, part # RM-88400 you will need to answer the following questions:
Are you using a supplemental braking system that depresses the brake pedal in your towed car?

Does your towed car have separate brake lights and turn signals?

Yes - Your towed car has a separate lighting system. You may need a brake light relay. Continue on to the next question.
Are you wiring your vehicle with a six-diode kit or a TowDaddy custom wiring harness?
No - You will need a brake light relay to ensure proper activation of your towed car's signal lights.

When you decide you will purchase a supplemental brake system I recommend part # SM99251.
