Hi Erin!
The etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # e98948 is indeed the same model as the 9998948. We changed the part number on our website a little as it was similar to another part number we carry.
What are you wanting to install this on? It looked like you had a 2023 Jeep Gladiator in our fit-guide, but wanted to make sure. I have all the Jeeps it will fit listed below, just in case. Oh and do you have all the other parts needed to get set up for flat towing?
2020 - 2027 Jeep Gladiator with factory plastic bumper (excluding Rubicon and Mojave)
2018 - 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler with factory plastic bumper
2018 - 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited with factory plastic bumper
2019 - 2026 Jeep Wrangler with factory plastic bumper
2021 - 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe with factory plastic bumper
2019 - 2026 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with factory plastic bumper

Hi Erin, did you end up using the Invisible Base Plate Kit on your Jeep Gladiator? It’d be great to hear how the setup went. Your update could make it easier for others working on the same flat tow setup.
