Default 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 Sport BullBar/Tow Hook Question

Hey,

I tired searching and looking thru a lot of other sites and DIYs and I cannot find a DEFINATE answer to my question...

I want to put a Bull Bar on the front of my truck, however, every site says it doesnt fit the Sport model.

I was wondering if anyone who HAS done this might be able to suggest what may be needed to be done to modify one to fit (before i spend the money on a bar) or if these sites are just retarded and it will actually fit.

I was also going to add tow hooks but i haven't seen if any one has added them with the sport bumbers.

Any help is appreciated.

I believe the reason a bull- bar will not fit on your truck is because the sport bumper is bigger and comes down farther than the non-sport bumper. I also have a sport model ram and the previous owner had to cut sections out of the bottom of the bumper in order to fit the bull-bar. I'm not sure about tow hooks though.

+1 sawsall all the way if you look at the off road sport bumper it is a sport bumper with notches cut out in the bottom from the factory to allow for tow hooks. My grille guard is for a regular non-sport ram and has hooks on it, I just cut 2 2in by 2in notches to get it to fit

I remember before I painted it, it had a "4xGUARD" sticker on it, I looked them up but it seems now they just makes things for Jeeps... Unless someone thought it was a nice sticker to put on a no-name guard
