For your 175/70-13 tires the best choice is the Titan Chain # TC1520 chains with square links in diamond pattern for maximum traction. If your Owner's Manual recommends only using Class-S low profile chains these will meet that requirement as well.
I also recommend the Glacier Rubber Adjusters, # PW100, for easier installation and a better fit. I have included a video review of these adjusters for reference.

I recommend the Magnaflow Universal Catalytic Converter # MF447104 for your 2009 Suzuki XL7 with the 3.6L engine. This catalytic converter uses 2" inlet and outlets and is constructed of stainless steel. There is also no bung for the O2 sensor as yours is in the exhaust tubing and not the catalytic converter. view full answer...
The included mounting hardware of the Curt hitch part # 13518 are 12mm-1.75 X 30mm Cl 10.9 Hex head bolts. All of the hardware is included with the hitch.

If your 2007 Suzuki XL7 has a factory tow package, then you can use the Curt T-Connector Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # C56012.

The Curt Trailer Hitch # 13518 for the 2008 Suzuki XL7 will have visible cross tubing beneath the rear of the vehicle. Based on where the mounting locations are on the vehicle, the hitch had to be designed accordingly and that is why there is visible cross tubing. It doesn't look bad, it is tucked right under the bumper. I attached an installation video for you to see how it installs and to see the finished product.
If you plan on doing some towing the recommended ball mount is # C45010... view full answer...
Yes, you can install a brake controller on your 2007 Suzuki XL7. Brake controllers are not vehicle specific.

I have not heard of any problems when installing a brake controller on a 2007 Suzuki XL7. The issue you heard about may have been due to hooking the red stoplight switch wire from the brake controller up to a wire dedicated to the cruise control system. I have heard of problems with the cruise control wiring on the XL7. A brake controller only draws a small amount of current from the stoplight circuit for activation of the brake controller. The actual power sent to the trailer brakes comes... view full answer...
As the # 119175KIT is not a vehicle specific item, there are not any instructions available specific to the 2007 Suzuki XL7.
You would need to access the wiring harnesses feeding the tail light assemblies, and use the circuit tester included with the kit to test the wires to determine which circuit serves which function. Turn on the running lights, and probe the wires feeding the tail light assembly until you find the wire with voltage on it. Tap the brown converter wire into that circuit.... view full answer...
