Yes, the 93 - 98 JEEP Grand Cherokee 2in. CURT Trailer Hitch + Ball Mount + Cover + Lock Kit HWA1559 (Part #HWA1559) is designed to fit the 1993-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
The 93 - 98 JEEP Grand Cherokee 2in. CURT Trailer Hitch + Ball Mount + Cover + Lock Kit HWA1559 (Part #HWA1559) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, the Curt 13048 (also listed as RRH13048) is designed specifically for 1993–1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee models. No drilling is required for installation.
No. The Curt 13048 requires no drilling. Installation uses two existing frame studs at the end of the frame and an existing weld nut at the forward attachment point.
The kit includes: 6 flat washers (1/2 inch, part 30-00133), 2 hex head cap screws M12×1.75 45 mm (part 10-10459), 4 hex nuts M12×1.75 (part 20-00136), and 6 lock washers (1/2 inch, part 30-00153). These fasteners attach the hitch to existing frame studs and weld nuts.
All fasteners must be torqued to 79 lb-ft. This applies to both the studs at the end of the frame and the forward attachment bolt.
Only if your Jeep Grand Cherokee has a sided fuel tank shield. In that case, remove the nuts and flat washers from the two studs at the end of the frame, and remove the bolt and washer assembly from the forward attachment. These parts will be replaced during installation with the fuel tank shield sandwiched between the frame and side bracket.
1. Raise the hitch into position over the two existing studs at the end of the frame and hand-tighten the lock washers and nuts only. 2. Install the hex head bolt, flat washer, and lock washer into the existing weld nut at the forward hole. 3. Torque all fasteners to 79 lb-ft. If your vehicle has a sided fuel tank shield, remove the original fasteners first and sandwich the shield between the frame and side bracket before installing the new fasteners.
1. Remove the nuts and flat washers from the two studs at the end of the frame and discard them. 2. Remove the bolt and washer assembly from the forward attachment and discard it. 3. Position the fuel tank shield so it will be sandwiched between the frame and side bracket. 4. Install the hex head bolt, flat washer, and lock washer into the existing weld nut at the forward hole. 5. Torque all fasteners to 79 lb-ft.
Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. The Curt 13048 has its own gross load capacity ratings for weight-carrying and weight-distribution modes, but your vehicle's limit takes precedence. Consult your Jeep Grand Cherokee owner's manual for the manufacturer's towing capacity.
Periodically check the hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. The manual does not specify an exact interval, so inspect before each towing trip and at regular maintenance intervals.
