Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T660 Sleeper Rear Accessories
What years and models are these rear bumpers compatible with?
Our Kenworth T660 rear bumpers are designed to fit 2008-2016 T660 models with sleeper cabs. Most bumpers are direct replacements for OEM parts, but compatibility can vary based on your specific truck configuration. We recommend checking your VIN or contacting our team with your truck's year and any aftermarket modifications to ensure proper fitment before ordering.
Are these bumpers made from chrome-plated steel or stainless steel?
We carry both options. Chrome-plated steel bumpers offer a mirror finish at a lower price point but require regular maintenance to prevent rust. Our 304 stainless steel bumpers cost more upfront but resist corrosion better and maintain their appearance longer with minimal care. Each product listing specifies the material type and gauge thickness.
Do I need special tools or professional installation for these rear bumpers?
Most rear bumper installations can be completed with standard hand tools in 2-4 hours. You'll typically need socket wrenches, a torque wrench, and possibly a jack or lift for better access. The bumpers use existing mounting points, so no drilling or welding is required. However, due to their weight (usually 50-80 lbs), we recommend having a helper or using a transmission jack for safer installation.
Will aftermarket rear bumpers affect my trailer connections or DOT compliance?
Our rear bumpers maintain OEM mounting locations for trailer connections, light bars, and mud flaps. All bumpers meet or exceed DOT requirements for rear underride protection when properly installed. Some custom bumpers may relocate license plate mounting or require different light configurations, which will be noted in the product description.
What's the difference between economy and premium rear bumper options?
Economy bumpers typically feature 14-16 gauge steel with single-layer chrome plating and basic mounting hardware. Premium options use thicker 12-14 gauge steel or stainless, include triple-chrome plating or polished finishes, and come with grade 8 hardware and detailed installation instructions. Premium bumpers also tend to have tighter tolerances for better fitment and longer warranties.
