Question:

Id like to know which baseplate requires the least amount of trimming to the belly pan, fascia, etc. I have a 2015 2-door Wrangler Willys with stock/factory bumper and no winch. Basically a Sport setup but with bigger tires. I intend to sell this Jeep eventually and dont want a bunch of holes left if/when I remove the baseplate. Looking at the Demco DM9519292. ??? Thanks!

Looking at the compatible baseplates for your vehicle it looks like the two best options are the Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms Item # DM9519292 and the Curt Custom Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms Item # C38FR.

The Demco Baseplate will be a 4" x 2" horizontal cut and the Curt Baseplate will a 4" x 2" vertical cut.

I recommend the Demco Baseplate # DM9519292 because the horizontal cut will be less noticeable when the baseplate is removed.
