What years and models of Kenworth T880 trucks are these bumpers compatible with?
Our Kenworth T880 front bumpers are designed to fit model years 2013 through current production. However, compatibility can vary based on your specific truck configuration. Day cab and sleeper models typically share the same mounting points, but trucks with set-forward axles or special vocational setups may require different brackets. We recommend checking your VIN or calling our team at 1-888-875-7787 to confirm fitment before ordering.
Are these bumpers made from chrome-plated steel or stainless steel, and which is better for my application?
We offer both chrome-plated steel and polished stainless steel options. Chrome-plated bumpers provide a mirror-like finish at a lower price point but require regular maintenance to prevent rust, especially in winter climates with road salt. Stainless steel bumpers cost more upfront but resist corrosion naturally and maintain their appearance with minimal care. For trucks operating in harsh weather conditions or coastal areas, we typically recommend stainless steel for its longevity.
How difficult is the installation process, and what tools or modifications are required?
Most T880 bumper installations take 2-4 hours and can be completed with standard shop tools including socket wrenches, torque wrench, and a drill for any additional mounting holes. The bumpers typically bolt directly to existing frame mounting points. However, adding accessories like fog lights or tow hooks may require drilling. Some aftermarket bumpers sit slightly different than OEM, so minor bracket adjustments might be needed. Professional installation runs $200-400 at most shops if you prefer not to do it yourself.
What styles and finishes are available, and do they affect weight or fuel efficiency?
We stock several styles including standard OEM replacements, Texas-style square bumpers, curved aerodynamic designs, and heavy-duty models with integrated tow pin receivers. Finishes include mirror polish, satin, and painted options. Weight differences range from 85 pounds for standard bumpers up to 150 pounds for heavy-duty models. While the weight difference is minimal for fuel economy, aerodynamic curved bumpers can improve airflow and provide a slight efficiency gain compared to flat Texas-style bumpers.
Will aftermarket bumpers void my warranty or affect crash safety ratings?
Installing an aftermarket bumper does not void your truck's powertrain warranty, though damage caused by improper installation would not be covered. Our DOT-compliant bumpers meet federal safety standards for commercial vehicles. However, if your T880 has collision mitigation sensors or adaptive cruise control mounted in the bumper, you'll need to ensure proper sensor relocation and recalibration. Some insurance companies may require notification of modifications, so we recommend checking your policy details.
