KPALAG Bed Extender Handle & Grommet Kit for Ram 1500 Classic 2009–2020 — Corrosion-Resistant Direct-Fit

KPALAG’s box handle and grommet kit is a direct-fit replacement for Ram bed extender pivot handles and grommets, built to resist corrosion and restore smooth release action.

This kit supplies the pivot joint grommets and rotation release handles used on Dodge Ram bed extenders, sized to fit Ram 1500 Classic (2009–2020) and Ram 2500/3500 (2012–2018). Each component is manufactured from corrosion-resistant materials and engineered for a straightforward swap, so you can get the extender working reliably again without lengthy disassembly or specialty tools.

Will this kit fit my truck model and year?

Yes — the KPALAG set was made to match the factory dimensions and fit points of the specified Ram models. It directly replaces part numbers 68054996AA and 68054997AB, so if your truck uses those OEM references this kit will align and install without modification.

• Compatible with Dodge Ram 1500 Classic, model years 2009–2020
• Compatible with Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500, model years 2012–2018
• Replaces OEM 68054996AA and 68054997AB for direct fit

How durable are the parts and how do they handle weather?

KPALAG uses corrosion-resistant materials so the handles and grommets withstand moisture, road salt, and temperature swings better than untreated components. That increases service life and helps retain smooth operation even after prolonged exposure to the elements.

• Corrosion-resistant construction for long-term outdoor use
• Durable pivot joints that resist wear from repeated use
• Materials chosen to avoid premature cracking or deformation

How simple is installation—do I need special tools or a mechanic?

Installation is designed to be user-friendly: most owners can complete the replacement with basic hand tools in a short time. The kit includes two pivot grommets and two rotation release handles; no welding or cutting is required, and alignment follows original mounting points.

• Includes 2 pivot joint grommets and 2 rotation release handles
• Fits into existing mounting points—no drilling needed
• Typical installation time: a few minutes per side with standard tools

What exactly is included in the package?

The package contains the parts most commonly needed to restore bed extender pivot function: two grommets for the pivot joints and two handles that control rotation and release. That combination addresses worn or broken components that commonly cause looseness or failure of the bed extender mechanism.

• 2 × pivot joint grommets matching OEM fit and size
• 2 × rotation release handles built to replace factory pieces
• Parts packaged together for a complete left-and-right replacement

Who is this for: This KPALAG kit is aimed at Dodge Ram owners who need a reliable, direct-replacement solution for worn bed extender handles and pivot grommets. It’s ideal for DIY mechanics, fleet managers, or anyone restoring a Ram 1500 Classic (2009–2020) or Ram 2500/3500 (2012–2018) who wants OEM-compatible fit, weather-resistant materials, and quick installation without specialized equipment.
