Does this bumper fit both 2WD and 4WD versions of my 1988-1998 GMC Sierra 1500?

Yes for the Hammerhead and ARB fronts on this page. The GMT400 platform shares front frame mounting between C1500 (2WD) and K1500 (4WD) trucks 1988-1998. Verify each listing's fitment notes; the Ranch Hand Legend grille guard fits 1500/2500/3500 across both drivetrains.

Can I keep my factory fog lights when installing this bumper on a 1988-1998 GMC Sierra 1500?

Most GMT400 SLT and Z71 trims shipped with grille-housed fog lights, not bumper-mounted. The Hammerhead 600-56-0185 Low Profile and 600-56-0127 Pre-Runner replace the bumper face, not the grille, so fog lights stay in place. Confirm fog-light location on your trim before swapping.

Powder coat vs paint vs raw, which finish lasts longest on this bumper?

Black textured powder coat ships on the Hammerhead 600-56-0185 and 600-56-0127 fronts and outlasts liquid paint in chip and corrosion resistance. The ARB 3462030 ships in black powder coat. No raw or paint-yourself SKUs on this page.

Yes, aftermarket truck bumpers are heavy and we want to make sure the bumpers are handled properly considering their size and weight, that is why all bumpers are delivered via freight carriers. Because of this precaution, it might take a bit of time for you to receive the tracking number.

Not receiving a tracking number does not mean your order has been forgotten. Even without one, you can be confident that steps are being taken to ensure the item is delivered to you. There have been instances where delivery has been completed without receiving an active tracking number.

Our shipping partners will never send an order to its shipping address without first scheduling and appointment with you. Before the final delivery to the shipping address, you will be contacted by the delivery personnel via phone to set a date and time for the arrival of the order. This is to ensure that you will be available to receive and inspect your items.

Here are a few things to keep in mind when handling the delivery. It is important that you inspect before you sign. The consignee (you or someone you appoint) must completely OPEN and INSPECT the product.

If damage is present, DO NOT accept delivery and DO NOT sign the delivery receipt.

It is VERY IMPORTANT that the package be inspected before you sign the delivery receipt. By signing the receipt and accepting the shipment, you are releasing the freight company and BumperStock of any liability for damages that are not reported on the delivery receipt at the time of delivery.

Here at BumperStock, we are happy to offer Free Freight Shipping on all orders. That means that whether you use a commercial or a residential address you won't be charged for shipping. But in some rare cases (~5%) an additional delivery fee may be required for some hard-to-reach locations. This ensures bumpers are delivered on time and to lower risks of damage during delivery. Most freight items come to you within 3-5 days after shipment.

Free shipping is applicable on both residential and commercial addresses but a residential location may not have the right equipment to conveniently unload your package. Your item will be shipped by a vehicle equipped with a liftgate at an additional cost to ensure the delivery of your bumper is carried out safely.

Having delivered a large number of items, we concluded that there is a higher risk of damaging the bumper during the transition from a big freight truck to a smaller delivery vehicle if it is shipped to a residential address. Not only do commercial addresses have the facilities to carefully and harmlessly unload large and heavy truck bumpers, since the time for additional rerouting will be removed, but the delivery time can also be reduced significantly.

If an order is shipped to a freight terminal, the delivery personnel will contact the customer to inform them when their items are ready to be received.

If the customer does not arrive to receive their order or if they refuse to accept the order for a reason which is deemed not valid, the customer will shoulder all shipping, return, and restocking costs.

Please let us know if a lift-gate is required for the delivery. This is not part of free shipping and may incur an additional cost

Please note that all processing times we provide are an estimate. Your items may be delivered within a longer or shorter period than what is stated in the estimate. We cannot guarantee an exact delivery date, especially with backorders since the manufacturers control this process directly.
