Fab Fours Premium Bumpers for Dodge Ram 1500

The Front Bumper Comes Loaded

One front bumper, one window: the 2013 through 2018 Ram 1500. It fits the standard trims and sits on the factory holes. It does not fit the Rebel, which carries its own off-road front end.

What lands is a finished front bumper. The winch mount holds a 12,000 pound winch, or anything smaller. One-inch D-ring points ride on the face for recovery. The fog and turn lights are already there, set into Fab Fours' own molded housings, so lighting is not a second bill. The mount comes in two pieces and adjusts, so you can line the bumper up straight on the truck. The open lower shape opens up more tire clearance.

You size it up two ways. First, the steel over the grille. The No Guard build leaves the nose open. The Pre-Runner build sets a raised bar over the grille. The Full Guard build stacks the most steel across the grille of the three. If you run a winch and want the most brush up front, take the Full Guard. If you want the winch with a clean, open nose, take the No Guard. The Pre-Runner sits between them.

Second, sensors. If your Ram has front parking sensors, the sensor front bumper keeps them reading. If it does not, the non-sensor build costs less. One note on the sensor version: the sensors can pick up a shackle or hook left in the fairlead, and Fab Fours sets the mounts for lifted trucks, so a stock-height Ram usually needs them tuned.

The Rear Bumper, From the 2009 Truck to the Newest Body

Out back, the coverage runs far wider than the front. Fab Fours builds the Premium rear bumper in two bodies. One fits the 2009 through 2018 Ram. The other fits the 2019 and newer truck. Together they cover the Ram from 2009 straight through to the newest body on the road.

Every rear bumper is formed 3/16-inch steel. It keeps your factory receiver hitch and trailer wiring right where Ram put them, so towing does not change. Three-quarter-inch D-ring points sit at the corners for recovery. A step is pressed into each corner of the tailgate, so you climb to the bed without bolting on a separate step. It also makes room for a dual exhaust.

Two things follow your year. On the 2009 through 2018 Ram, you choose sensor or non-sensor, so match it to whether your truck has rear parking sensors. That older rear bumper does not relocate a factory camera, so if your Ram reads its backup view through the bumper, you lose it. The 2019 and newer rear comes sensor-ready and keeps your factory sensors.

Where the Premium Line Stops

Two gaps are worth naming. The Rebel is the first. Its off-road front end is its own shape, and no Premium front bumper here fits it. The newest Ram is the second. The Premium front stops at the 2018 truck, so a 2019 or newer Ram gets a Premium rear bumper but not a Premium front from this page. For a front on the newest body, Fab Fours moves to its styling line: the Fab Fours Vengeance front is lighter and carries no winch mount.

One year note. If yours is a Ram 1500 Classic, Ram's name for the older body it kept selling next to the new truck, it takes the 2013-2018 front and the 2009-2018 rear, not the newest-body rear. You can tell a Classic by its older grille and its Classic badge.

Every bumper here bolts on at the factory mounts, no cutting needed. The steel is heavy, so bring a second person, and expect it to arrive by freight. We cover shipping in the US, and the fit to your Ram is guaranteed. Running a Rebel, or after a lighter front for a newer Ram? The Dodge Ram 1500 page pulls together every brand and body that fits this truck.

The Ram 1500 fitment guide does the body-versus-year homework for you, Classic included.
