Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 587 Sleeper & Related
What years and models are compatible with Peterbilt 587 bumpers?
Peterbilt 587 bumpers are specifically designed for model years 2011-2017. While the mounting points remained consistent throughout these years, always verify your VIN and model specifications before ordering. Some bumpers may also fit the Peterbilt 579 (2013-2017) due to similar chassis designs, but mounting brackets may require modification. We recommend checking your truck's build sheet or contacting us with your VIN for exact compatibility confirmation.
What material options are available and which holds up best?
Our Peterbilt 587 bumpers come in three main materials: chrome-plated steel (16-18 gauge), polished stainless steel (304 grade), and aluminum. Chrome-plated steel offers the classic mirror finish but requires regular maintenance to prevent rust, especially in winter climates. Stainless steel provides superior corrosion resistance and maintains its shine with minimal upkeep, making it ideal for harsh weather conditions. Aluminum bumpers are lightweight and rust-proof but may show scratches more easily. For longevity and low maintenance, most customers prefer stainless steel.
How difficult is the installation and what tools are required?
Installation typically takes 2-4 hours with basic mechanical skills. You'll need: a socket set (typically 3/4" and 7/8"), torque wrench, jack stands or lift access, and potentially a drill for auxiliary light mounting. Most bumpers use existing frame mounting holes, but some aftermarket options may require drilling. Common challenges include aligning heavy bumpers (we recommend having a helper) and routing wiring for integrated lights. Professional installation runs $200-400 if you prefer expert fitting.
Will aftermarket bumpers affect my warranty or DOT compliance?
Properly installed DOT-approved bumpers will not void your Peterbilt warranty. All our bumpers meet or exceed FMVSS standards and include DOT certification stamps. However, modifications like cutting for custom light placement or improper installation could affect warranty coverage. For commercial vehicles, ensure any bumper modifications maintain proper approach angles and don't interfere with safety equipment like collision mitigation systems found on 2015+ models.
What's the weight difference between OEM and aftermarket options?
OEM Peterbilt 587 steel bumpers typically weigh 85-95 pounds. Aftermarket options vary significantly: heavy-duty steel bumpers range from 90-120 pounds, standard stainless steel versions weigh 80-90 pounds, and aluminum alternatives come in at 35-45 pounds. The weight difference impacts fuel economy minimally (less than 0.1 mpg), but lighter bumpers are easier to handle during installation and reduce front axle load, which can be beneficial if you're close to weight limits.
