Just wondering if anyone knew, can flares off a 2500 fit correctly on a 1500?

The main difference between the fender flares on a 1500 and the HD trucks is how far past down the fender on the front near the headlights the fender flares go. The 1500s have a larger gap between the headlight and bumper, so I know on the OEM fender flares are longer to get close to the bumper.

You are correct about the
1500 Ram with CHROME Bumper, the fender flare comes in 2 sections.
the 1500 with a Sport Bumper, does not use the short 2nd piece

the reason for that is that the Sport Bumper does not use a Upper Valance
I think i have a pix of the 2nd piece

I may have been confused, you can see what i was thinking of, in this pix

that shortest piece would be used with the Chrome Bumper, but only on the 1500 models.

on the HD models, the 2 front pieces used in the pix above,
would not be used at all
