There are two options for Blue Ox base plates for your 1994 Suzuki Sidekick. If you have a 4-door 4 wheel drive model you would want the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BX3505.
If you have a 2-door model you would want the # BX3503.
For a tow bar you could go with the Blue Ox Alpha part # BX7380. This comes with safety chains.
For lighting you can use the bulb and socket kit, # RM-155, and not have to worry about cutting and splicing into the vehicle wiring.

I spoke to my contact at Roadmaster and he informed me that you would want the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit # 1007-2. The current price is on the product page.
There are several other components you may need too to complete your flat towing setup.
The next thing you will need is a tow bar. For that I would recommend the RoadMaster Sterling All Terrain Tow Bar # RM-576. This tow bar comes with quick-disconnects, safety cables are lighting wiring already.
You will also need wiring, for... view full answer...
As long as you have room for a 2 inch tall bulb in your current taillight housings the Roadmaster Taillight kit part # RM-155 would fit and work well. The Roadmaster fit guide does not include your vehicle so I don't know for sure. view full answer...
The Curt hitch that has been confirmed as a fit for your 1994 Suzuki Sidekick is the part # 11128. The correct ball mount would then be the part # C45521.

The Erickson spare wheel mount part # EM77316 that you referenced was not designed to be used on wheels smaller than 14 inches in diameter. The cap diameter is 5 inches which is typically too large to fit smaller wheels. If you measure the diameter of the mounting flange on your wheel and it's smaller than 5 inches in diameter though it would fit and work well.
Otherwise you'd have to look into a spare carrier designed for the smaller wheel diameters like the CE Smith U-Bolt style carrier... view full answer...

To be able to tow a trailer with your 1997 Suzuki Sidekick Sport you will need to start with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11024 you were looking at but you will still need the following accessories to complete your towing setup:
Vehicle wiring harness: Hopkins Plug-in Simple Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # HM41245.

Yes you can install an electric brake controller on your vehicle. As long as there is a stop light circuit that you can tap into (there will be) then you can install a brake controller on basically any vehicle. For vehicles like yours this is a very common solution for towing a trailer with electric brakes. Typically controllers that adapt your brake style to electric brakes are pretty expensive and no more effective than a good proportional controller like the P3 part # 90195 that you... view full answer...
In order to install the Carr Custom-Fit Side Steps - Hoop II # CARR102521, you may need to use pliers or vice grips to squeeze the bracket enough to get the nut started on the bolt, then torque down accordingly.

If you had the Tow Ready tow bar part # 63180 you'd be able to use the Blue Ox adapter part # BX8833 to connect to your Blue Ox Base Plate kit part # BX3505. There's no way to use the Curt tow bar you mentioned with the Blue Ox tow bar as there are no adapters available. view full answer...
It sounds like you not only need the bar but some of the other parts that originally came with it and the Falcon II tow bar # RM-520. That means you would need the whole assembly which is # 910021-00. The assembly and the tow bar will then be compatible with base plates # 118-1 for your 1994 Suzuki Sidekick.
If the tow bar did not come with safety cables you will need a set of those as well # RM-643.
You will also need a lighting solution. A popular option is the LED bulb and socket... view full answer...

I checked the installation instructions for the Roadmaster Base Plate Kit # 1007-2 that you referenced and you will need to remove the front bumper skin in order to install this base plate kit.
The Roadmaster Sterling Tow Bar # RM-576 would be a great choice for a tow bar, and it comes with safety cables, lighting wiring and quick disconnects.
For lighting I attached an FAQ article on how to pick out the best solution. Most states now require supplemental braking when flat-towing so I... view full answer...
The Stowmaster tow bar part # RM-501 can't be adapted to fit a Blue Ox base plate kit. There are no adapters that will work with the Stowmaster. Best option we have would be a similar Blue Ox tow bar like the Blue Ox Acclaim part # BX4330 which will work great and has a coupler style RV attachment like the Stowmaster.
This will work great with your Blue Ox Base Plate kit part # BX3505. view full answer...
The Sportrack roof rack part # SR1002 is a semi-custom fit roof rack that is listed as a fit for a wide variety of vehicles. This is why in the reviews you see several different types of vehicles and not your 1996 Suzuki Sidekick. So this is listed as a fit for your vehicle but based on previous experiences I do not recommend it for people due to feedback we've gotten on it not fitting well. Instead for a cost effective solution that would work great I would highly recommend the Inno Square... view full answer...
For the 1998 Suzuki Sidekick Sport Model, the Curt Class I, part # C11024 is a confirmed fit.
According to Curt, their # 11128 Class I hitch is NOT a fit for a Sport model Sidekick.
If you'll be using the hitch for light-duty towing, consult the owner's manual to ensure you don't exceed the towing capabilities of the vehicle. The hitch has a 200 lb tongue weight/2000 lb towing capacity, which will be limited by the towing capacity of the vehicle if it's less than that of the hitch.

In order to flat tow the vehicle, you would need the tow bar, base plates, wiring for the vehicle tail lights, safety cables and a supplemental braking system, depending on the state you were planning on towing the vehicle through.
Since you already have a tow bar, you would start with a base plate. Blue Ox does not offer a base plate kit that is compatible with a 2WD 4 door model Sidekick, but there is a Roadmaster Base Plate Kit, part # 1007-2 that will work, as long as your Sidekick... view full answer...

46 inch square load bars, part # INB117
