Question

Question:

Is the product, Custom Mounting Brackets for Detail K2 Snow Plows, just a universal mounting bracket? I have a 2023 ram 2500 diesel. I’m trying to mount the DK to snow plow.

Hello Nathan,

Yes, the Custom Mounting Brackets for Detail K2 Snow Plows # K256ZR are the correct custom mounting brackets to mount your Detail K2 Snow Plows on your 2026 Ram 2500 Diesel. In order to install, MUST REMOVE DROP TUBES ON BOTTOM OF FRAME.

The # K256ZR will work with the following Detail K2 Snow Plows:

Rampage II - K2RAMP8219
Rampage II Elite - K2RAMP8219ELT
Storm II - K2STOR8422
Storm II Elite - K2STOR8422ELT
Summit II - K2SUMM8826
Summit II Elite - K2SUMM8826ELT

Is this for your own personal property, or are you one of the ones out there braving the storm?

Braving the storm. We outsource our parking lots except 2 that the company says is too far out for them. Just clearing 2 parking lots with whatever we purchase. This seems to be an ok one. Would you recommend something different in that price range? Thank you for the reply.

@NathanE The Detail K2 setup will work really well for what you’re doing. The # K256ZR mount and plow combo is a solid option for keeping up with a couple of lots without having to go to a full commercial-grade system. As long as you follow the install notes (especially removing those drop tubes under the frame), it will bolt up nicely and hold up great through the season. It’s honestly the better values out there for light commercial or personal use. Thanks for being one of the ones braving it out there, I hope people are courteous and stay out of your way =)

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…
