On the base plate kit # BX1122 the tabs are 20 inches apart on center. The only tow bars that can be used are the Avail, # BX7420, Aventa, # BX7445, Alpha, # BX7380, and Allure, # BX7460P. The most popular of these is the Avail. It also comes with safety cables so you would not have to add any.
You will also need a lighting solution to flat tow the vehicle. I recommend the bulb and socket kit # RM-155. It will bypass the vehicle wiring so you will not have to splice into it.
Most states now require a supplemental braking system on the vehicle being flat towed. One of the easiest systems to set up and use is the Patriot # BLU37TR proportional system. It applies the Liberty brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles.
Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual for specific information on towing the Liberty. I have included some helpful links on flat towing for you to view.
