Westin HDX Grille Guard Replacement Hardware for 2008 Dodge Ram 1500  

Published 12/01/2021



Question:

I have a Westin hdx grille guard and the mounting kit i ordered for my pickup doesnt line up with the grille guard. Can you help me find the correct brackets?

Expert Reply:

Since the correct Westin HDX Grille Guard for your 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 is part # 57-1950 the correct hardware kit would be the part # 57-195PK. If this is the hardware kit you tried already that would indicate that the guard you have was designed for a different truck and unfortunately you can't swap grille guard fits by just using different hardware since the guards and the hardware are both made to fit different truck fits.
