Will a sport grill off a 01 2500 fit my 97? I know they changed the sport grills up a bit in 99 to make it stick out a litte further but is that the only difference?

 

Other than the grill I thing the only differance is the brace behind it, check out LMC Truck they have two differant braces. Dodge grill

 

Sport grill off of a 99-UP will not fit a 98-Back without changing the bumper assembly.

The newer Sports had much longer grills and their bumpers had a indentation in them to accomodate the longer grill.

A grill off of a 99-UP SLT will fit though.
