asked by: John T
Helpful Expert Reply:
Yes, you will be able to retain your rear skid shield you have on your 1996 Jeep Cherokee and install the Draw Tite Hitch part # 75054. Certain bolts will need to be loosened for the install to be completed but the shield will stay on.
Check out the install video for the hitch that I attached.
For trailer wiring you would want the Tow Ready wiring harness part # 119178KIT.
For a ball mount, hitch ball, and pin and clip, I would recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit, part # 989900. This is a kit which includes 2 ball mounts, a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, and a hitch pin and clip.
