It is aimed at owners of 1997-2002 Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 models who need a reliable replacement for a worn or broken clamp. The single biggest reason to consider this kit is its combination of a heavy duty iron crossbar with a 304 stainless steel bolt and nut kit that addresses corrosion and keeps the battery secure.

Key Features

• Fitment: Designed specifically for 1997-2002 Dodge Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500, so it replaces the original hold down without major modification.

• Stainless hardware: Includes 304 stainless steel flange nut and L bolt kits to reduce corrosion and extend service life in engine bay conditions.
