- 1996.5-2002 Dodge Ram 2500 second-generation body

Product Overview
These brackets are for the builder who wants the newer heavy-duty Ram bumper shape on a second-generation truck without fabricating every mounting point from scratch. The pair adapts the newer bumper structure to the older frame-side location.
This is a custom conversion, not a stock replacement. Early 1994-1996 trucks, frame repairs, body lifts, aftermarket bumpers, and bumper-option differences can require measurement, shimming, trimming, or fabrication.
This is a high-quality aftermarket replacement or service part and is not manufactured or supplied by the original equipment brand. The names below identify compatible applications only.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do these convert a second-gen bumper to a fourth-gen bumper? A: They let a compatible fourth-generation Ram 2500/3500 front bumper mount on the listed second-generation truck.
Q: Is the bumper included? A: No. This listing is for the conversion brackets.
Q: Will they bolt onto every 1994-2002 Ram without changes? A: No. The strongest support is for 1996.5-2002, and custom-fit factors can still require fabrication.
