Question:
2021 Jeep Wrangler 2door. So I bought the set Blu57xr someone gave me. The base plate was already on the Jeep. So I had a set but they didnt work.Didnt seem to go in far enough to make the turn and lock. They were 7 and a half inches long. So I ordered the Blu57xr thinking they were longer. Not so. Same length! So I was wondering if they make a longer set? They go in but apparently wont turn. Im at a loss for what to do. Took it to a trailer place they said same thing.

Hey Ron, so I checked with Blue Ox and for the base plate part # BX1139 that fits your 2021 Jeep Wrangler the correct replacement attachment tab is the part # BLU57XR that you tried. That makes me think something is wrong with the part that installs on your Jeep. That said we do have longer ones with the part # BLU37XR but I do not recommend these as they won't work because they are too long.
Are you absolutely sure what you have is a Blue Ox base plate kit?
