41002630-9202-4645-8F32-1E18E17DDE47.jpeg Hello everyone. New guy with what is probably a noob question. I did use the search by the way, but can’t seem to find a definitive answer. I just bought a 96 ram 1500. I’m looking around at some accessories, and I can’t seem to figure out what bumper is on this thing. Anyone maybe able to tell me by looking? I’m thinking it’s a sport, but not sure. Thanks.

Welcome. Yes that's a sport bumper.

Thanks! That’s what I thought. Now I need to decide if I want to change it or not. My wife told me she ordered a brush guard for me. It’s not gonna work with a sport bumper. Guess I’ll see what the return options are for the guard and decide from there.

I appreciate that. Gonna sell the guard, unless it doesn’t go quick, then I’ll throw another bumper on.

You also have the 96 pace truck wheels, also used on the 97/98 ss/t. They are made by American racing 17x9.

I wasn’t sure what they were, but new they weren’t the normal 16’s most came with. I’m gonna be putting some bigger tires on too if I have the space. Has 265/65/17 now, hoping I can get 285/70/17 under there without a lift.
