When shopping, you can choose OEM/Mopar blades or reputable aftermarket equivalents in these lengths. Some manufacturers also offer adjustable or multiposition blades that fit the same arms.

Installation considerations and blade styles
Blades come in traditional framed designs and modern beam-style designs. Beam blades often provide better contact on the Ram's curved windshield and are popular for newer models. When replacing, verify correct length, connect the blade to the arm according to the manufacturer's instructions, and test for proper sweep.
How to confirm the correct size for your vehicle
To confirm, consult the owner's manual, measure your current blades, or use a size finder on an auto parts retailer site. If your Ram 1500 has optional rain-sensing wipers or a different trim package, sizes can vary slightly.
