Hey John,
The Hardware Kit # 40-120PK you're looking at is for an older Ram pickup, but to get the Westin Sportsman grille guard to mount to your 2016 Ram 1500 you need the Hardware Kit # 40-354PK instead.
Please note that grille guards and their mounting hardware are vehicle specific so if your grille guard wasn't on a 2009 - 2024 Ram 1500 then it won't fit your truck properly when you try to install it.
From your photos it looks like you've just got it propped up right now - did you get it from a marketplace-type online sale or was it given to you by chance?

I did get off marketplace, I know it not set up for a ram but I was getting a visual look too see if I can mount it, it will need some modifications from the brackets to the grille gaurd cause thos one I believe goes to a chevy i am assuming . I really got a deal on it the previous owner wasn't too sure on what make or model it may have came off of. I really need one on my truck, I hit a tree one night coming home( noone ever told me anything about walking trees, darn tree walk right in front of me, can you believe that!) No fir real I had to buy a new bumper, still need another hood and new hinges . But I figured I put a grille gaurd on mu truck then I have better chance if not damaging anything else far as that goes. I even bought front and rear leveling kits so when i do mount this I can level it to it correct Normal height. I'm guessing also would be right to also put some level of kit in the rear for proper height as well cause with that extra weight in the front will offset both rear and front. But I thinking. Maybe it'll be a ni more then a inch or so off, I can fabricate my two steel plates to use for spaces and might have to go to hime depot and get some different bolts. But you guys don't have universal adapter plates that is already made to go from 2016 Ram 1500 truck and mount and brackets to change over to a grille that's for a chevy? You know that would a good idea to make kits that could actually do that be good to have that available, I have talk to many of other truck owbers I have spoke with actually has thos same problem as I do, is be surprised on how many folks has this same issue. It be good to invite such universal bracket plates with bolts. Serious. Any suggestions ypu can give be helpful, I will be sure to order this mount, brackets and bolts kit that you sent me , thanks for the correct one too. This is made for a sportsman westin grille gaurd correc? Cause if I get it for guard I I believe that'll bring me closer to my mounting holes on the grille gaurd, you understand me. Thanks for all the helpful advice that you already provided and for anything more that you can offer would be very appreciative. And Happy New Year to you and your entire family, hope holiday was great, hope you ate as much as I did, I believe I gained 100 more pounds just on the fried turkey alone, good food all together. I ain't ain't addicted to no drug or alcohol, it's good delicious food that got a hook into me for real! Talk at later and again thank you! John Shackelford!
