What years and models of Kenworth T600 do these bumpers fit?
Our Kenworth T600 front bumpers are designed to fit model years 1987 through 2007. However, there are slight variations between early models (1987-1994) and later models (1995-2007) due to mounting bracket changes. When ordering, please specify your exact year and whether you have a standard hood or aerodynamic package, as this affects bumper compatibility. If you're unsure about fitment, our team can verify compatibility using your VIN number.
Are these bumpers made of chrome-plated steel or stainless steel, and which is better?
We offer both chrome-plated steel and polished stainless steel options. Chrome-plated steel bumpers provide a mirror-like finish at a lower cost but require regular maintenance to prevent rust, especially in areas with road salt. Stainless steel bumpers cost more initially but resist corrosion naturally and maintain their appearance with minimal upkeep. For trucks operating in harsh weather conditions or coastal areas, we typically recommend stainless steel for its durability.
How difficult is the installation, and what tools do I need?
Installation typically takes 2-4 hours for someone with basic mechanical skills. You'll need a socket set (particularly 3/4" and 7/8" sockets), a torque wrench, and possibly a helper due to the bumper's weight (40-65 lbs depending on model). Most bumpers use the existing mounting holes, but some aftermarket options may require minor drilling. Common challenges include aligning the bumper while supporting its weight and accessing bolts behind the bumper brackets. We include detailed instructions with each bumper.
Will aftermarket bumpers affect my truck's weight rating or DOT compliance?
All our replacement bumpers meet or exceed OEM specifications and maintain DOT compliance when properly installed. The weight difference between stock and aftermarket bumpers is typically negligible (within 5-10 lbs), which won't affect your truck's GVWR. However, if you're adding accessories like additional light bars or heavy-duty tow hooks, ensure the total weight addition is documented for weight compliance purposes.
What's the difference between OEM-style and custom bumpers in terms of features?
OEM-style bumpers replicate the factory design with standard tow hook provisions and fog light mounting points. Custom bumpers offer additional features like integrated step plates, extra light mounting brackets, air dam options, and reinforced tow points. Custom bumpers may also include options for flush-mounted LED lights or wider profiles for enhanced protection. Consider your specific needs: OEM-style works well for standard applications, while custom bumpers benefit drivers needing extra lighting, frequent towing, or enhanced front-end protection.
