Expert Reply:
I have an option to get your truck setup with a grill guard and winch, but Westin does not make a Grill guard for your 2005 Dodge Ram that has a winch mount, so there's no hardware available to mount a guard of that style to your truck.
Your only option for a grill guard is going to be the Westin # 40-1205 in black or # 45-1200 in chrome. These will fit no matter if your truck is a 1500/2500/3500, and are custom designed just for your truck.
To add a winch you'd need to add a front mount hitch of which I recommend # 65033 if your truck is a 1500, or # 65046 if you have a 2500/3500. These install in a different location than the grill guard so they'll be compatible together.
Lastly you'll just need the winch mount # BDW20155 to mount a winch of your choice to.
While it's not quite what you were hoping for I'm sure, this is going to be the best way to get both a winch and grille guard on your truck.
