Hello John! Yes, there sure is! To make your etrailer SD tow bar compatible with a Blue Ox base plate you will need the following:
- etrailer Replacement Tow Bar Adapter Kit for Blue Ox and Curt Base Plates # e98978
This will replace the clevis end on your tow bar and allow it to work seamlessly with the Blue Ox base plate.
Are you needing the rest of the parts for your flat tow setup? Let me know.
