For the conqueror in every truck, Jeep or SUV owner, the ARIES grille guard offers the tough, trail-ready look you demand. It begins with a one-piece frame of 1/4" thick welded plates and 1-1/2" mandrel-bent tubing for a solid build. Each one is made with a vehicle-specific design for a better fit, easier install and more secure mounting. The side brush guards are custom-bent to contour to the profile of your vehicle, while the mounting brackets are positioned for a no-drill application. This means pre-existing factory holes are used to ensure optimum fitment and less vibration. This particular custom grille guard fits specific years of the Ram 1500 and Dodge Ram 1500 (see application info to verify). The ARIES grille guard also makes it easy to customize the look of your vehicle. Not only does the crossbar have two pre-drilled holes for mounting aftermarket LED lights, but many of our grille guards are also available in two finish options -- polished stainless steel or semi-gloss black steel. The stainless steel grille guard is made with 304 stainless, being high in nickel content and truly resistant to rust and corrosion. This option comes with a mirror-like polished finish for a definitive shine. The semi-gloss black grille guard is made with high-strength carbon steel for added strength. It features a tough, dual-layer E-coat and black powder coat finish to protect against rust, scratches and the elements. All ARIES grille guards also come with rubber stripping along the risers to protect the frame against scuffs and scratches.

The ARIES Black Steel Grille Guard, Select Dodge, Ram 1500 Grille Guard (Part #BBDR5058) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, the Curt 5058 grille guard is designed for 09-2013 RAM 1500 models and fits both trucks with and without factory tow hooks. However, the bracket configuration differs: tow hook-equipped models use the lower mounting bracket hung from the tow hook mounting studs, while non-tow hook models use upper frame mounting brackets bolted to the bumper bolts and frame. The installation procedure varies between these two configurations.
Yes. The kit includes upper frame mounting brackets specifically for trucks without tow hooks. These brackets bolt to the factory bumper bolts and the frame. The installation procedure for non-tow hook models is described in Step 3a–e of the instructions.
The kit includes: 1 grille guard, 2 upper frame mounting brackets (for non-tow hook trucks only), 2 lower frame mounting brackets (driver and passenger), 4 support brackets (driver/left and passenger/right, upper and lower), 8 12-1.75mm × 35mm hex bolts, 22 12mm × 32mm OD × 3mm flat washers, 14 12mm lock washers, 12 12-1.75mm hex nuts, 4 8mm × 20mm button head Allen bolts, 4 8mm × 22mm OD × 2mm flat washers, 4 8mm lock washers, 2 5–0.8mm × 15mm button head Allen bolts, 2 12-1.5mm × 30mm special fine thread hex bolts (for non-tow hook trucks only), 4 5mm × 10mm OD × 1mm flat washers, 2 5mm nylon lock nuts, and 1 wrench.
The manual states that a wrench is included with the kit. Additional tools needed are: a small flat blade screwdriver (to remove plastic push-in clips from the splash guard), wire cutters (to remove rivets from the splash guard if present), and tools to cut the splash guard slot (such as a saw or rotary tool). The manual does not specify other tools required.
Yes, assistance is recommended. Step 1 states 'Assistance is Recommended.' Step 6 specifically requires assistance to hold the grille guard up to the mounting brackets while bolting it in place.
Starting from the underside of the front bumper, carefully remove the splash guard. It may be attached with hex bolts and two-piece plastic push-in clips. Remove all hex bolts first. Locate the clips behind the bumper cover and pry up the center pin of each clip with a small flat blade screwdriver to remove the entire clip. If the splash guard is attached with rivets at the corners, use wire cutters to remove them. Pay close attention to the type and location of all factory hardware for reinstallation. Move the splash guard to a clean, stable work area.
1. Remove the hex nuts from the two lower factory bumper bolts. 2. Select one frame bracket and the driver side mounting bracket. Bolt them together with 2 12mm flat washers, 2 12mm lock washers, and 2 12mm hex nuts; snug but do not tighten. 3. Insert the assembled bracket up from behind the bumper and align the holes with the bumper bolts. Attach using the factory hex nuts; snug but do not tighten. 4. Install the driver side lower support bracket with the bent end toward the front. Bolt it to the inside of the lower mount using the top round hole with 1 12mm × 35mm hex bolt, 2 12mm flat washers, 1 12mm lock washer, and 1 12mm hex nut. 5. Attach the flat end of the support bracket to the frame with 1 12-1.5mm × 30mm special fine thread hex bolt, 1 12mm flat washer, and 1 12mm lock washer. Snug but do not tighten. 6. Repeat for the passenger side.
1. Remove the 2 hex nuts holding the front of the tow hook to the back of the bumper. 2. Select the driver side lower mounting bracket and hang it from the tow hook mounting studs using the factory hex nuts; do not tighten. 3. Bolt the flat end of the driver side support bracket to the inside of the lower mounting bracket using the second round hole from the top with 1 12mm × 35mm hex bolt, 2 12mm flat washers, 1 12mm lock washer, and 1 12mm hex nut. 4. Attach the bent end of the support bracket to the rear tow hook bolt by loosening the rear mounting bolt and inserting the slotted end under the head of the factory bolt. 5. Snug but do not tighten all hardware. 6. Repeat for the passenger side.
Open the hood and remove the driver side inner headlight mounting screw. Insert the driver side top bracket between the radiator support and the headlight housing. Reinstall the factory hex bolt and snug but do not tighten. Repeat for the passenger side top bracket. Later, after the grille guard is positioned, bolt each top bracket to the threaded inserts in the bottom of the headlight guard tube using 2 8mm × 20mm button head Allen bolts, 2 8mm × 22mm OD × 2mm flat washers, and 2 8mm lock washers per bracket. Do not tighten hardware at this time.
With assistance, hold the grille guard up to the outside of the mounting brackets. Bolt the grille guard to the brackets using 6 12mm × 35mm hex bolts, 12 12mm flat washers, 6 12mm lock washers, and 6 12mm hex nuts. Do not tighten hardware at this time. Stand back and check that the grille guard is centered and level on the vehicle, adjusting as necessary. Once properly aligned, tighten only the hardware securing the lower frame mounting brackets to the truck. Do not tighten the hardware on the grille guard itself.
After installing the top brackets, slowly close the hood to check for clearance between the hood and the top brackets. Adjust the brackets as necessary, then snug but do not tighten the hardware. This step must be completed before final tightening to ensure the hood operates properly.
Yes, cutting is required. The plastic splash guard must be cut to clear the mounting brackets. You must cut an approximately 1/2" wide by 4" long slot in the splash guard at the location marked by the mounting brackets. The exact size may vary due to different factory designs. Additional cutting may be required on tow hook-equipped vehicles to clear the support bracket. Make several small cuts first and check the fit often. Do not cut the slot any larger than necessary and do not cut through the front or back edges of the splash guard.
The slot should be approximately 1/2" wide by 4" long. However, the manual notes that this size is an estimate only and may vary due to different factory designs for splash guards and front bumper covers. Additional cutting may be required on tow hook-equipped vehicles. The manual recommends making several small cuts first and checking the fit often to ensure a clean installation. Do not cut the slot any larger than necessary.
Yes. For non-tow hook models, the factory hex nuts from the lower bumper bolts are reused to attach the mounting bracket to the bumper. For tow hook models, the factory hex nuts holding the tow hook are reused to hang the mounting bracket. The factory hex bolt at the headlight is also reused. If the splash guard was originally attached with rivets, you may replace them with the supplied 5mm × 15mm button head Allen bolts, 5mm flat washers, and 5mm nylon lock nuts.
You must use the supplied 12-1.5mm × 30mm special fine thread hex bolt. This is critical because the hole in the bottom of the frame is fine thread. Do not substitute a standard coarse thread bolt. The bolt is installed with 1 12mm flat washer and 1 12mm lock washer.
No, the manual does not provide torque specifications for any of the fasteners used in the installation. It only specifies that hardware should be 'snugged but not tightened' during assembly, with final tightening occurring only after alignment is verified. For specific torque values, contact Curt Manufacturing or consult the vehicle manufacturer's service manual.
After installation, perform periodic inspections to ensure all hardware is secure and tight. The manual recommends waxing the product after installation to protect the finish. For stainless steel, aluminum polish may be used to polish small scratches and scuffs, and mild soap may be used for cleaning. For gloss black finishes, use only mild soap for cleaning. Do not use polish or wax containing abrasives, as these may damage the finish.
Wax the product after installation and perform regular waxing to add a protective layer over the finish. Do not use any polish or wax containing abrasives, as these may damage the finish.

Perform periodic inspections to ensure all hardware remains secure and tight.
Before final tightening, verify that the grille guard is centered and level on the vehicle. Check hood clearance by slowly closing the hood to ensure there is adequate clearance between the hood and the top brackets; adjust the brackets as necessary. Once the guard is properly aligned, tighten only the hardware securing the lower frame mounting brackets to the truck. Do not tighten the hardware on the grille guard itself until alignment is confirmed.
Yes, it fits both configurations. Trucks with tow hooks use a different bracket setup than those without. The kit includes all necessary brackets for either configuration.
Yes. You must cut an approximately 1/2" wide by 4" long slot in the splash guard to clear the mounting brackets. The exact size may vary by vehicle. Make small cuts and check fit frequently.
