99-02 Dodge Ram 2nd Gen Sport bumper and grill

OEM 1999–2002 Dodge Ram 2nd Gen Sport Bumper and Grille Assembly

Product Highlights

The Sport package front end on a 1999 through 2002 Dodge Ram is one of the most distinctive looks of the 2nd Generation platform. The 99-02 Dodge Ram Sport bumper uses a more aggressive lower valance profile with integrated fog light provisions and a bumper structure that sits differently against the frame than the standard configuration. The 99-02 Dodge Ram Sport grille carries a specific insert design and surround that reads as intentional from the factory rather than an aftermarket modification. Together the Sport bumper and grille create a front-end package that makes a 2nd Gen Ram look exactly the way a lot of owners want it to look. Finding a clean OEM Dodge Ram Sport front end in this condition is increasingly difficult as these trucks age and the donor vehicle supply tightens.

Sport package front-end damage on 2nd Gen Rams comes from several directions. Collision damage is the most common driver for owners searching for replacement components. Low-speed impacts that leave the bumper structure bent or cracked and the grille surround broken are the typical result. Restoration projects on solid 2nd Gen Ram trucks that have aged out of their original front-end condition account for another significant portion of Sport bumper and grille requests. Some owners are upgrading a base-model Ram that came from the factory without the Sport front end and want the full OEM Sport appearance rather than a modified or aftermarket approximation.

At McClain Auto Part, we source 2nd Gen Ram Sport front-end components from verified donor trucks and inspect them before listing. Condition details and photos are available before you commit to a purchase.

Product Overview

This is a complete OEM Sport front bumper and grille assembly sourced from a 1999 through 2002 Dodge Ram donor truck equipped with the factory Sport package. The 2nd Gen Ram Sport bumper includes the full bumper structure with the lower valance, fog light provisions, and factory mounting provisions intact. The Ram grille assembly includes the Sport-specific surround and insert configuration as equipped on the donor truck.

These components are sold as a matched set from the same donor vehicle. Sourcing the bumper and grille from the same truck ensures the paint finish, surface texture, and condition are consistent across both components. Mixing a bumper from one donor with a grille from another frequently creates subtle finish and condition differences that become visible after installation.

The Dodge Ram Sport front bumper mounting points and body-line geometry reflect factory 2nd Gen production specifications. The Sport grille integrates with the bumper surround and headlight bezels at the factory body gap dimensions. Together they restore the full Sport front-end package as Dodge intended it rather than an approximation assembled from mismatched sources.

Fitment and Compatibility

The 1999 through 2002 Dodge Ram 2nd Generation platform covers the full production run of the BR/BE body style in its final configuration. Sport package fitment applies across all three payload ratings within this generation.

Model Year Compatibility

1999 Dodge Ram – The 1999 model year is the opening year of this fitment window. The 1999 Dodge Ram bumper and grille configuration established the Sport front-end look that carried through the end of this generation.

2000 Dodge Ram – The 2000 Dodge Ram grille and bumper configuration is consistent with the 1999 model year within the Sport package. Direct fitment across both years.

2001 Dodge Ram Sport bumper – The 2001 configuration falls within the same front-end fitment window. Sport package components are compatible across the 1999 through 2002 span.

2002 Dodge Ram Sport grille – The 2002 model year is the final year of this generation. The 2002 Dodge Ram Sport grille and bumper share the same fitment specifications as earlier years in this window.

Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500

The factory Sport bumper and factory Sport grille on this generation are shared across the Ram 1500, Ram 2500, and Ram 3500 within the Sport package configuration. Confirm your specific payload rating and Sport package specification when contacting us, as minor variations can exist depending on the donor truck’s configuration.

Sport Package Verification

Not all 2nd Gen Rams came with the Sport front end. The factory Sport bumper and grille are specific to Sport-trimmed trucks and are not a direct bolt-on replacement for the standard non-Sport front-end configuration without additional front-end component changes. Confirm that your truck is either Sport-equipped or that you have the full Sport front-end package planned before ordering.

VIN Verification

Share your VIN before ordering. We confirm the Sport package fitment of the donor components against your specific truck before processing the order. On a restoration platform this old, confirming fitment details before purchasing saves significant time and shipping cost.

OEM Quality and Restoration Value

Every component in this listing is factory original from a verified 1999 through 2002 Dodge Ram Sport donor truck. The bumper structure, grille surround, and insert configuration all reflect factory 2nd Gen Ram Sport production specifications. These are not reproductions, remanufactured components, or aftermarket approximations.

For restoration projects on 2nd Gen Ram trucks, OEM factory components are the only reliable path to maintaining the authentic Sport appearance. Aftermarket Sport bumper and grille alternatives exist for this generation but they frequently differ from the factory profile in subtle ways that are immediately obvious when compared to original components at close range. Surface texture, mounting tab placement, and lower valance geometry are the most common areas where aftermarket parts fall short.

The condition on these components reflects the quality of the donor vehicle they came from. Photos of the specific bumper and grille condition, paint surface, mounting points, and any areas of note are available on request before you commit to purchasing.

Before You Order

Confirm your model year, payload rating, and Sport package configuration before reaching out. If you have photos of your truck’s current front end that show the mounting points or Sport package configuration, sharing them helps us confirm compatibility quickly. Request additional photos of the bumper face, lower valance, grille surround, and mounting provisions before placing your order.

2nd Gen Ram Sport front-end inventory is limited by the declining donor vehicle supply for this generation. Availability changes as trucks come through our facility. Confirming availability early in your restoration timeline is worthwhile.
