Highly unlikely. Also, do you mean Stromberg? You need the VG-97-4000 to get a louvered gate, their website doesn't show a louvered gate for a 2002 Dodge, just straight bars.

A google search for Strasburg doesn't bring up anything.

Hmm. For some reason, on their website the pictures I saw did NOT show a louvered gate. I will admit to not really trying hard, but in the 3 minutes I was on their site I didn't find that one.

Still, looks like we both came to the same conclusion. It won't fit.

Yep. 2 different ones. But hey it's metal depending on how creative you are with cutter and a welder. Anything can be made to fit....lolol
