Sterling A-Series Truck Fender Extensions

Frequently Asked Questions About Sterling A-Series Truck Fender Extensions

What are fender extensions and what do they do?

Fender extensions are add-on panels that attach to the outer edge of your Sterling A-Series truck's existing fenders. They extend coverage further out and down over the tires, helping to block road spray, mud, and debris from being thrown onto the cab, trailer, and nearby vehicles.

Will these fender extensions fit my specific Sterling A-Series model?

Fender extensions are typically designed to match the fender style and wheel configuration used on Sterling A-Series trucks, but fit can vary depending on cab type, axle configuration, and whether your truck has factory or aftermarket fenders already installed. Check the listed specifications and measurements against your truck before ordering, and reach out to our team if you are unsure.

What materials are these fender extensions made from, and how do they hold up?

Fender extensions in this category are commonly made from durable materials such as steel, aluminum, or heavy-duty plastic/composite, depending on the specific product. Steel and aluminum options generally offer more rigidity and long-term durability, while composite versions can offer better resistance to denting and corrosion. Review each product listing for the specific material and finish used.

How difficult is it to install fender extensions myself?

Most fender extensions are designed for straightforward bolt-on or clamp-on installation using basic hand tools, without the need for cutting or drilling in most cases. However, ease of installation can depend on your truck's existing fender setup and whether any mounting hardware needs to be transferred or reused. If you're not confident working underneath the truck or around the wheel well, having a qualified technician install them is a good option.

Do fender extensions affect ground clearance or tire clearance?

Because fender extensions extend further out and sometimes lower than the stock fender line, they can reduce clearance around the tires in certain situations, such as tight turns or uneven terrain. It's important to check the extension's dimensions against your tire size and suspension setup before installation to avoid rubbing or interference.
