Ranch Hand 09-C RAM 1500(NO Sport) L

Installed on 2018 Ram 1500 Big Hon. So far so good, I'll update if I find issues later one but if not you can assume it's been perfect.I was worried once it delivered that it was incorrect, packaging/instructions indicated 2009-2016 Ram 1500 (and certain Sport models in between), confirmed the Model Number on the Ranch Hand website and it matched what I needed though. Install was easy, I took my time and played around a bit but roughly 5 hours by myself. I was able to cut two notches in my Air Damper to pass the brackets through (this is optional but I recommend it). Mine does not have tow hooks but had the plastic trim that covers that area. Once I had the Grille Guard fully Installed, I took those covers and cut the slots so it would fit around the front brackets as well, made it look pretty decent in the end (no exposed hardware).

Made my 2015 ram 1500 tradesman look great. You are able to reinstall the tow hooks. Remember to put anti seize on the threads of the six black ss bolts that hold the guard to the brackets. Threads will gall if you don't. I had an engine hoist to lift it in place and attach to the brackets. Attaches to the frame in four places. I did not remove the lower plastic air dam. You have to cut a hole in the air dam for the lower brackets to go through.

I ordered the grill guard it arrived in perfect condition and fast service from this vendor. Price was about $200 less than local suppliers and they would have had to order it anyway. I have been using Ranch Hand grill guards and bumpers for years they are high quality and stand up to abuse. Installation was not that easy you need 2 people to do it, depending on truck it goes on, my son had installed many before so it still took us about 2.5 hrs to do it right. Good product and no problem with vendor.

CAREFULL!!! The picture and product are not the same! I emailed Amazon a request to return and the seller agreed in two days. I did end up keeping the product , as I called Ranch Hand and they In formed me that it would fit my truck. Easy install, took a couple hours with wife.

Fits my 2019 Ram 1500 classic and looks great.

Smooth transaction and easy installation...hope I won't ever need to see how strong the guard is!

Great product!! Fits perfectly!

I put all the info for my 04 and got this one for 09 to 13. Dont fit. And cost 300 to ship back after unit dropped at front Door.
