  • Recommended Base Plate for a 2002 Jeep Liberty
  • No, they're about the same. The most difficult part of installing these baseplates is having to remove all of the trim and essentially the entire front end of your Liberty. I have linked both installation instructions below. We've only got an install video for the Roadmaster and it has been linked as well. I recommend using the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit item # RM-521423-5 for your 2002 Jeep Liberty. You already have the Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain Tow Bar item # RM-522...

  • What Is Total Weight Capacity of Timbren Axle-Less System ASR1200S03
  • The Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension # ASR1200S03 has a total weight capacity of 1,200 pounds. This means for a single axle trailer you'd be limited to this number. For hub and drum assemblies the etrailer # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K will work perfectly and for brake assemblies you can use the Brake Kit # AKEBRK-35-SA with Mounting Hardware # BRKH10B.

  • Will Timbren Suspension Enhancement System Increase Towing Capacity For 2003 Jeep Liberty
  • The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System, part # TJRL4 you referenced is not designed to increase the tow weight capacity on your 2003 Jeep Liberty.

The capacity is dictated by whatever the lowest rated component is. Increasing the load bearing capacity of the suspension (which the Timbrens...

  • Solution for Needing 84 inch Long Waste Valve Cable
  • Since there isn't the exact size you want and the 96 inch length is longer than you'd need your best option would be the longer cable # TC96PB and then coil the harness to take up some of the extra length. You can cut it to length as well.

  • Most trailers aren't required to have brakes until they exceed 3500 lb as a rule but state laws can vary as can vehicle manufacturer requirements. However, it is wise to add brakes to a trailer that more than 1/2 the weight of the tow vehicle. Your driving style will have an impact on the safety of towing without brakes.

  • Is Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch 300 Pound Vertical Load Limit High Enough for 2009 Jeep Liberty
  • Think of the 300 pound capacity on front mount receiver # C31020 the same as you would tongue weight capacity on a rear mount hitch. The most vertical weight pushing straight down on the hitch would be 300 pounds. It would still work fine for winching applications even at angles. Curt front mount hitch # C31020 is currently the only front mount option we carry for the 2009 Jeep Liberty. I have included a link to the installation instructions to the right.

The hitch pin hole of the Draw-Tite on the 2008 lines up perfectly even with the bumper's edge as shown in the video. The pin hole is 2-1/2 inches from the end of the receiver tube per my measurement. So when we combine...
