Give me a bit of time.. mobile sucks for this website and I just noticed your truck didn’t come with skidplate that that complicates things and is going to require some more parts.

Let me see if this works.
*1x #17 skid plate bracket (68303523AB)
*1x #16 hex bolt to mount bracket (6104416AA) M10x1.50x35
*1x #26 hex flange nut (06508646AA) M10x1.50
-I’m not sure how the bracket mounts to the skid plate but I’m sure it’s either a nut/bolt combo or there already might be a stud and just requires a hex nut (probably m10x1.5 or m8x1.25)
*3x #19 (68065741AA) m8x1.25 threaded stud should be on the truck
*1x #20 (6104390AA) hex bolt w/ washer m8x1.25x35
*1x #21 (06512090AA) nut/retainer m8x1.25


Front skid plate crossmember is optionally (see other attached pic) but if your making the effort you might wanna go ahead and give the extra support

*1x crossmember (68348386AB)
*6x (06104416AA) M10X1.50X35.00
*4x (06508646AA) m10x1.50

I would source hardware locally and save your money and buy a few extra just in case and return if needed.

*1x 33 gallon skid plate (52029964AD)

I suggest sourcing this locally Freight charge is going to be ridiculous might not even be a bad idea to get the crossmember locally as well but of course shop online and compare. I’ll tried this and ended up getting a ridiculous price from the local dealer went online and freight charge was more then part itself so I went on a limb and purchased off eBay (just an old revision of the same part) cost around $250 shipped IIRC can link you to same seller if you like just message me for it

Nice thank you ! I see where that brace goes in the front im going to try and get those from the junk yard . I just got back from the junk yard this afternoon i was able to pick up the skid plate for $150 alot cheaper than online . I will goe to Ace hardware and get the bolts ,nuts washers .. im hoping there is mounting holes drilled in the frame .

I used the exact list to order all my parts. But I was planning to post it only after I successfully install all these plates especially the fuel tank plate. Just so you guys know, some of the bolts and nuts are out of stock in Canada, but I was able to find them either on Amazon or local hardware stores. The prices of those bolts from all these online stores are ridiculous.

Now thats one way of doing it within budget. That was my original plan but I struck out finding a truck w/ the 33 gallon at the salvage yards locally (23g/26g were plentiful) and just caved in and started sourcing Ebay or resorting to buying parts new that were reasonably priced and didn’t carry that freight charge and since parts from the yard I was better off paying a few more bucks and getting new. I did get a cheap low mileage fuel pump thankfully since for whatever reason 26/33 fuel pump are so much more expensive then a 23g one. One day everything else will show up.


Thats the seller I bought my skid plate for $279 shipped. In case someone needs one, Older p/n but same thing. Hardware store is the way cheaper route for the bolts.

Yeah the junkyard i went to has several recently wrecked rams . Im going back tuesday to get the bracket and crossmember. He said he had to remove them but wasnt going to charge me.for them. And the plate was in good shape just dirty , i cleaned it off and sprayed some frame black paint on it , good as new lol
