The item I received did not include the crossmember skid plate mount even though the salesperson at Avondale Automotive said that he would confirm that the crossmember piece would be included before shipment. Obviously, he did not do what he said.

Mopar part fit great what else can I say.

Fits well and included everything needed to install, but after many years off off-roading in a modified Jeep, it is clear that Mopar’s idea of a skid plate and mine are not really the same thing. This does cover the lowest point on the transfer case, but leaves much of the rest wide open, and it isn’t going to take a serious high centering or rock hit without bending simply due to the material thickness and the length of the plate plus the cross member (included) it is bolted to. That said, it’s absolutely worth installing and could save the transfer case someday, even if the skid plate will probably die in the process. If serious off-roading is in your plans, it would be a good idea to seek out something heavier duty and with wider coverage, but as a just-in-case addition for a highway going truck that might find itself needing to venture off-road on occasion, it’s cheap insurance.

It fit perfectly on my 2015 Ram 1500. The cross brace was included. Easy install

Easy installation, use a torque wrench to you don’t shear the bolts off. Could be beefier but for the price it’s well worth it.

Installed on an 18 Ram Express. It does come with the necessary cross member. I used a floor jack to hold things in place and easily installed alone.

This is a direct OEM installation and does come with the plate and the cross beam.. It is heavy duty and does what it is supposed to. The fit is exact with all holes aligning and all bolts the correct size and length – again it is OEM.
