The simple answer no. The hood of a Ram 2500 will not fit on that f a 1500. The two trucks have different dimensions. The Ram 1500 has a longer hood than the Ram 2500. The Ram 2500 also has a wider hood. The height of the hood on the 2015 Dodge Ram 2500 is 9 inches higher than that of the 1500. This means that you will have some clearance issues when installing a large aftermarket hood on a 1500.

The issue with fitting a large aftermarket hood on your 1500 is that there are not enough mounting holes for certain accessories like LED lights, grilles, and other accessories that require additional mounting holes in order to function properly. If you want to use these items with your new large aftermarket hood, then you will need to drill additional holes in your existing factory steel ram truck hood and install them yourself. It is also important to consider the different engine options when deciding which hood to choose. The Ram 1500 and 2500 have different engine options, so make sure that the new hood you select will fit the engine of your choice.

However, If you want to install the hood in a way that makes it easy for you to access your battery and have room for your hood latch and gasket, then it can be installed without having to remove the radiator support.
