Frequently Asked Questions About Freightliner FLD SBA Sleeper & Related
What years and models of Freightliner FLD trucks do these SBA sleeper bumpers fit?
Our SBA sleeper bumpers are designed specifically for Freightliner FLD 112 and FLD 120 models manufactured between 1989 and 2002. The SBA (Set Back Axle) configuration requires a different bumper design than standard FLD models due to the extended wheelbase. Before ordering, verify your truck's VIN and confirm it has the set back axle configuration, as standard FLD bumpers will not properly align with SBA models.
Are these bumpers made from chrome-plated steel or stainless steel, and what gauge thickness should I expect?
Most of our FLD SBA sleeper bumpers are available in both 304-grade stainless steel and chrome-plated steel options. The stainless steel versions typically feature 16-gauge construction (approximately 0.0625 inches thick), while chrome-plated models use 14-gauge steel (approximately 0.0747 inches thick) for added durability. Stainless steel bumpers offer superior corrosion resistance and require less maintenance, while chrome-plated options provide a mirror-like finish when properly maintained.
What mounting hardware and brackets do I need for installation, and are they included?
Installation typically requires bumper mounting brackets, grade 8 bolts, and reinforcement plates that attach to your truck's frame rails. Most of our complete bumper kits include the necessary mounting brackets and hardware, but individual bumpers may be sold separately. You'll need basic hand tools, a torque wrench, and potentially a helper due to the bumper's weight (usually 60-80 pounds). Some installations may require minor drilling or modification of existing mounting holes.
What's the difference between the 16-inch, 18-inch, and 20-inch bumper options?
The measurement refers to the bumper's depth from the mounting surface to the front face. The 16-inch option sits closer to the truck and is ideal for drivers who need maximum ground clearance and maneuverability. The 18-inch provides a balanced look and moderate protection, while the 20-inch extended bumper offers maximum front-end protection and space for additional accessories like light bars or air horns. Consider your typical driving conditions and dock clearance requirements when selecting the appropriate depth.
How do I maintain the chrome finish, and what should I do if I notice rust or pitting?
For chrome-plated bumpers, wash regularly with mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly to prevent water spots. Apply a quality chrome polish monthly and use a chrome-specific sealant every 3-4 months for protection against road salt and chemicals. If you notice early signs of rust or pitting, address it immediately with fine steel wool (0000 grade) and chrome polish. For severe corrosion, professional re-chroming may be necessary. Stainless steel bumpers require less maintenance but should still be cleaned regularly with stainless steel cleaner to maintain their appearance.
