Question:
Hi, I have a 2013 Dodge Ram with Brush-guard. Im hoping you have a Base Plate so I dont have to remove the brush guard. Can you help? Also need the correct tow bar, as this truck weighs 5300 lbs 2013 Ram 1500 4x4, I believe its the Sport quad cab. Thanks

Expert Reply:
Base plate kits and brush guards will end up using the same area of the frame for installation so you can only use one or the other.
For a base plate kit the Blue Ox # BX2409 has been confirmed to fit your 2013 Dodge Ram 1500 Sport. I attached an install video.
For a tow bar with a 10k capacity you would want the Blue Ox Avail part # BX7420.
For supplemental braking you would want the Blue Ox Patriot part # BLU37TR.
For lighting you would want the diode kit part # RM-154.
