Expert Reply:
The base plates that are designed to fit your 2005 Liberty and work with your Stowmaster tow bar are part # RM-521423-4.
These are the EZ4 base plates, and have removable arms so it gives your Jeep a nice clean look when they are removed.
The EZ5 base plates, part # RM-521423-5, will not work with any tow bars that use a hitch ball and are designed to work with tow bars that slide into a trailer hitch.
For tow bar lighting I recommend the Hopkins Custom Wiring, part # HM56203.
To determine if you need the brake light relay, part # RM-88400 you will need to answer the following questions:
Are you using a supplemental braking system that depresses the brake pedal in your towed car?
No - You do not need a brake light relay.
Yes - You may need a brake light relay. Continue on to the next question.
Do the brake lights on your towed car illuminate while the engine is off?

Do your towed car's brake lights act as both the brake signals and the turn signals?
No - You may need a brake light relay. Continue on to the next question.
Yes - Your towed car has a combined lighting system. You will need a brake light relay to ensure proper activation of its signal lights.
Does your towed car have separate brake lights and turn signals?
No - Your towed car has a combined lighting system. You will need a brake light relay.
Yes - Your towed car has a separate lighting system. You may need a brake light relay. Continue on to the next question.
Are you wiring your vehicle with a six-diode kit or a TowDaddy custom wiring harness?
No - You will need a brake light relay to ensure proper activation of your towed car's signal lights.
Yes - You do not need a brake light relay.
When you decide you will purchase a supplemental brake system I recommend part # SM99251.
