Trucks aren’t just a vehicle. For most of us, it’s a lifestyle. The pickup truck has always been popular, but in recent history, it has become the best selling vehicle in the US.
After all, what other vehicle has as much versatility as a truck does? Nothing beats being able to throw your tools in the back and still have everyone in the front clean and comfortable. What other vehicle can tow your camper on the weekend and your work trailer on Monday?
The one thing that we can all agree on is that stock trucks come with less-than-impressive bumpers. Not to worry though, as BumperStock carries a wide variety of quality aftermarket bumpers from some of the best names in the business.
One of those names has always been Steelcraft. The company was formed back in 1998. That is even before Facebook or Instagram was invented. You know they must be doing something right if they've been around for that long.
Why Should You Buy A Steelcraft Bumper?
When talking about aftermarket truck bumpers, Steelcreaft is bound to come up. Over the years, they have been a force to be reckoned with.
Maybe it's their unique style or their rugged durability? We don't know for sure, but we have put together a list of the most common reasons our customers choose Steelcraft over any other bumper manufacturer.
Durability
Durability is a factor that can’t be overlooked, especially when you use your truck as hard as our customers do. What good is a bumper that can’t stand up to the great outdoors?
As soon as you go off the pavement, a good-quality bumper will show its true colors. The competition will be left in the dust(or the mud) when put through even half of the stuff Steelcraft puts their bumpers through.
Safety
No matter what you do, safety should always be a top concern. You can’t have a bumper fail when you need it most. It’s just unacceptable.
That is why Steelcraft holds each and every one of its products to a very high standard. Testing their models over and over again to make sure they are as good, if not better than the industry standard. Welds, steel quality, and finish are all prone to failure.
Luckily, Steelcraft considers all this before handing you what is known as one of the best aftermarket truck bumpers.
Versatility
The reason you get an aftermarket bumper is so that you can run light bars, winches, tow hooks, etc. Stock bumpers don’t even come close to the versatility a Steelcraft can offer.
It doesn’t matter if you use your truck for work or play, having a bumper that can do it all is very important. We here at BumperStock, offer a variety of Steelcraft bumpers that are sure to fit your needs. From simple Fortis to the full-on HD Elevation, the Steelcraft line has something for everyone!
Style
The bottom line is that if your bumper doesn’t look good, people won't buy it. Style is a very important feature in all the bumpers that Steelcraft puts out. If it doesn’t have that certain look, it doesn’t make the cut.
Of course, what you like, the next guy may not be impressed with, and vice versa. Having the ability to choose between different styles is what makes this brand be a top seller. After all, you want to look good when you are out there on the trails, don’t you?
Bumper Styles
In the world of aftermarket truck bumpers, the customer has the upper hand. Each manufacturer has to constantly come up with new ideas, fresh looks, and enhanced durability if they don’t want to risk getting left behind.
Steelcraft knows this, and it’s constantly evolving styles that helps keep them on top of everyone's list. Their Elevation, HD Replacement, and Fortis series have a little something for anyone's taste.
Here is what sets each series apart from one another:
Elevation
The word elevation should bring you thoughts of high mountain peaks, fresh air, and most importantly, a kick-ass bumper!
No matter what truck you have, the Elevation series creates a full shield for your front end. Both the grill and headlights will no longer have to be sitting ducks for the first branch to take them out. Add to that an ultra-durable plate steel construction and your truck becomes a real-life apocalypse response vehicle.
HD Replacement
This no-nonsense series is designed for one thing, and one thing only. That is to provide your truck with heavy-duty armor that only a Steelcraft bumper can offer.
From the commercial-grade, diamond plate steel, to the schedule-40 piping, this lineup lets everyone know that your truck isn’t just a toy.
To finish everything off, the entire bumper is powder coated and e-coated to make sure it can withstand anything short of an atomic blast.
Fortis Series
For those looking for a clean look of a stock bumper but want the protection that only an aftermarket bumper can offer, the Fortis is the one to go for.
Its low profile design is perfect for those who don’t want to attract too much attention. There are a total of two auxiliary light provisions on each side which allow your favorite 3” square lights to be mounted with ease. On top of that, most 20” light bars will fit perfectly in the center, allowing you to light up the entire night at the touch of a button.
Like with any other Steelcraft bumper it is powder coated and E-coated for maximum durability. Maybe that is why the company offers a two-year warranty, where the competition only gives one.
