Adding Skid Plate for Transfer Case

[ollie770]

Trying to figure out what I need to add the front axle/transfer case skid plate on my 2015 Ram 2500 4x4 since it didn't come with one from the factory. It appears the skid plate is the same for the 1500s and 2500s and is part number 68089777AB. What I can't figure out is the cross member. There is a bunch of different part numbers and some appear to fit both 1500s and 2500s.

Ideally, I would like to use Mopar Kit 82214497 which is a Ram 1500 Plate Kit which includes a cross member and the skid plate since its like $90 for everything. Does anyone know what part number the cross member is in that kit? The skid plate is the same I know.

Here are some part number cross members I have found:
52121444AD
52022046AG - listed some places for 1500 and others for a 2500 like mine
68193246AB

Some of them are over $200 just for the cross member - so hoping the $90 kit option would fit. Anyone figured this out or tried the 82214497 kit on a 4th gen 2500?

The cross member comes with one of the 2 available skid plates. I put both on both my trucks, but I can't remember which one came with it.

Here is Mopar Part Number 82214497 which is the Ram 1500 Plate Kit. The plate is the one I need (it fits 1500s - 3500s) just not sure which one of the many cross members Ram apparently makes comes in this kit. It bolts to the frame and goes across under the transfer case - just wondering if it would actually fit my 2500.
