Can a Grille Guard Be Used on a Lifted 2013 Ram 1500
Updated 05/09/2018 | Published 05/08/2018
Question:
Was wondering if a Westin 57-3545 hdx brushguard would fit my 13 Ram, tradesman/express which has a 2.5” leveling kit? I do believe I would have to cut some holes to get brackets mounted to frame,..but what about alignment issues with the brushguard and truck with the use of that leveling kit? Thanks...

The Westin HDX Grille Guard with Punch Plate part # 57-3545 is a confirmed fit for a 2013 Ram 1500. However, they are only tested on models with the factory suspension so I would not be able to confirm fitment on a vehicle with a leveling kit. With that being said, as long as the leveling kit is composed of a suspension lift and not a body lift then you should have no problem using this grille guard on your truck. The distance between the frame where the grille guard mounts and the body will remain unchanged with a suspension lift hence why there should not be any alignment issues.
