ALTBET Box Handle and Grommet Kit for RAM 1500/2500/3500 — 2-Handle 2-Grommet Direct-Fit (T50 Torx)

This replacement kit contains two swivel release handles and two pivot joint grommets designed to fit specific RAM pickup bed divider assemblies. Engineered as direct-fit replacements for part numbers 68054996AA and 68054997AB, the components are built for durability and to match factory fit and function on compatible model years. Installation requires a T50 Torx screwdriver and basic mechanical familiarity. Note: these parts are intended for DS bed configurations only and must not be used on DJ or DT trucks where bed extender placement can obstruct tail lamp visibility on some later models.

Will this kit fit my RAM truck model?

Check compatibility carefully before ordering to avoid installation issues. The kit fits RAM 1500 Classic models from 2009–2019 and RAM 2500/3500 models from 2012–2018 but is not suitable for DJ or DT configurations.

• Compatible: 2009–2019 RAM 1500 CLASSIC
• Compatible: 2012–2018 RAM 2500 and 3500
• Not compatible: DJ or DT bed extender configurations (may obstruct tail lamp visibility)
• Replacement part numbers: 68054996AA, 68054997AB

How difficult is installation and what tools do I need?

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic truck maintenance. You will need a T50 Torx screwdriver to remove the old hardware and secure the new handle and grommet into place. Expect minimal disassembly of the bed divider; typical installation time is short when parts align properly.

• Required tool: T50 Torx screwdriver
• Includes: 2 swivel release handles, 2 pivot joint grommets
• Typical time: 15–30 minutes with appropriate tools
• Tip: Inspect surrounding trim for wear before final tightening

What are the parts made for and how durable are they?

These parts are manufactured to match the original equipment’s form and function, providing secure swivel and pivot action for the bed divider. Materials are selected for toughness and resistance to everyday wear from loading and weather exposure, delivering reliable performance under normal use.

• Design: OEM-style replacement for smooth swivel release action
• Material: durable polymer and metal interfaces for longevity
• Use case: restores bed divider locking and pivoting performance
• Maintenance: periodic inspection recommended for heavy-use trucks

Are there any legal or safety considerations I should know?

Yes—these components were removed from some later bed configurations (DJ and DT) because installing them can cause a bed extender to block tail lamps at certain angles. Fitting this kit to a DJ or DT model manufactured in or after 2019 may create a lighting obstruction, which is why it’s explicitly not recommended for those configurations.

• Do not install on DJ or DT bed extenders if it obstructs tail lamps
• Verify your truck’s bed configuration (DS vs DJ/DT) before purchase
• If unsure, consult a dealer or measure for potential lamp obstruction
• Installation that causes lamp obstruction could violate local vehicle rules

Who this is for: this ALTBET replacement kit is aimed at RAM owners who need to replace broken or worn bed divider handles and pivot grommets on compatible DS-configured trucks. It suits DIY mechanics, fleet maintenance teams, and anyone wanting to restore proper function to a RAM 1500 Classic (2009–2019) or RAM 2500/3500 (2012–2018) bed divider. If your vehicle is a DJ or DT configuration or a post-2019 model with a bed extender that may block tail lamps, choose a different solution or consult a professional before ordering.
