The genuine Western 67980 Mount Kit establishes a rigid, structurally stable connection between your truck frame and your commercial snow plow. This heavy-duty undercarriage bolts straight to the chassis rails on classic second-generation Dodge Ram trucks. Designated as Mount #989, this genuine factory framework fits 1994 to 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 (4×4) models, as well as 1994 to 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 (4×4 and 4×2) trucks perfectly. Please note that this kit is strictly incompatible with the redesigned 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 model.
This vehicle-specific undercarriage layout is engineered from high-strength structural steel to distribute crushing and twisting forces evenly across your truck’s chassis. Because this setup utilizes your factory frame mounting holes, technicians complete a clean shop installation without the need for custom fabrication. This eliminates complex welding or cutting work under the front bumper entirely. This heavy-duty framework facilitates the rapid drive-in connection process that characterizes the renowned UltraMount and UltraMount 2 commercial series.
Custom Stability with the Western 67980 Mount Kit
Upgrading your truck-side setup with a fresh framework restores the seamless attachment performance of your plow platform. This factory-original Western 67980 Mount Kit maintains the precise geometry required for optimal blade ground contact. Furthermore, the premium black finish protects the heavy steel plates against corrosive road chemicals and salt. Therefore, utilizing a fresh Western 67980 Mount Kit ensures your side plates stay perfectly square over years of hard winter service.
