Peterbilt 567/579 Fairings & Steps

Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 567/579 Fairings & Steps

Will these fairings and steps fit my specific Peterbilt 567 or 579?

Fairings and steps are typically designed to match the specific cab and chassis configuration of the 567 or 579, so fitment can vary depending on your truck's model year, cab style, and factory setup. Always check the listed application details for each part before ordering, and reach out to our team if you're unsure whether a particular fairing or step will match your truck's configuration.

What materials are these fairings and steps made from, and how durable are they?

Most fairings are constructed from durable materials like fiberglass, ABS plastic, or aluminum, while steps are commonly made from aluminum or steel for strength under regular use. Material choice affects both weight and long-term durability, so consider your typical routes and weather conditions when choosing between options.

Do these parts come pre-painted, or will I need to paint them myself?

Many fairings are sold unpainted or in a primer-ready finish, allowing you to match your truck's exact paint color, while others may be available in a factory gel-coat or textured finish. Steps are typically finished in raw aluminum, diamond plate, or a protective coating. Check each product listing for finish details before purchasing.

How difficult is it to install these fairings and steps myself?

Installation difficulty depends on the specific part. Steps generally bolt into existing mounting points and can often be installed with basic hand tools, while fairings may require more precise alignment and additional brackets or hardware. Instructions and mounting hardware are usually included, but customers with limited experience may prefer to have a shop handle fairing installation to ensure proper fit and sealing.

Will adding aftermarket fairings or steps affect fuel efficiency or ground clearance?

Properly fitted fairings are generally designed to improve airflow around the cab, which can help with aerodynamics, while steps are positioned to maintain safe ground clearance for daily use. That said, ground clearance and aerodynamic benefits can vary by product design, so review the specifications for each item to ensure it fits your operational needs.
