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

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.
