Quality aftermarket steel bumpers can make a big difference in how your vehicle looks and performs. Especially when you pick the right bumper for your Jeep or truck. In this blog, we discuss the benefits of upgrading to a steel bumper.
Benefits Of Steel Bumpers
Steel bumpers are designed with functionality first in mind. Some of the benefits of a steel bumper include:
- Added Functionality and Customization
- Enhanced Style
- Better Towing and Recovery
- Improved Durability
Westin steel bumpers feature additional mounting points for accessories like winches, lights, and recovery gear. Optional skid plates and grille guards protect vital components like the oil pan and radiator.
Steel bumpers are stronger and more robust than factory bumpers, making them better suited for recovering vehicles in off-road situations. The improved approach and departure angles make a big difference on a tough off-road trail.
What To Consider Before Upgrading To A Steel Bumper
Like any modification, you’ll want to be informed of all the factors involved before you make the change. If you want to upgrade your bumper, be sure you’re aware of the difference in:
- Weight
- Installation
- Cost
Steel bumpers are heavier than stock bumpers. This makes them more rugged and durable. Especially when heading off-road. But the additional weight can also impact fuel efficiency and overall vehicle weight.
Proper installation is crucial for safety and performance. Westin bumpers come with all the necessary hardware and mounting brackets. Most of our bumpers require no drilling or cutting, and they fit onto factory mounting points.
A high-quality aftermarket bumper may cost you more upfront. But the benefits can easily outweigh the costs. Especially if you regularly head off-road. Upgrading to a steel bumper can enhance your vehicle’s resale value. Potentially recouping some of the purchase price.
