Bumper Accessories

Add-Ons That Make Your Bumper Work Harder

A bumper is a mounting point as much as it is a bumper. This section is what bolts to one or protects it: WeatherTech BumpStep hitch-mounted steps, Fab Fours accessories built around their own bumper line, winch mounting brackets, and the brackets and hardware that hold the pieces together.

Fab Fours makes up a large share of this aisle, and most of it is designed around their own bumpers, so check what is on the front of your truck before ordering. If there is no brand stamp on it, ask at a store rather than guessing from a photo.

The WeatherTech BumpStep slides into the receiver hitch. It gives you a step at the back of the vehicle for reaching over the tailgate, and it sits behind the bumper where parking lot contact tends to happen. It comes back out as easily as it went in when you need the receiver for towing.

Winch mounting brackets are worth calling out on their own, because most bumpers need one before a winch can go anywhere near them. The rest is spread across brands: LUVERNE, Westin, Rough Country, Auto Ventshade AVS, Putco, Zone Offroad, Rugged Ridge, Go Rhino, Smittybilt and Blue Ox all have pieces here.

Common Questions

What is a BumpStep?

A WeatherTech accessory that slides into a standard receiver hitch. It gives you a step at the back of the vehicle for reaching over the tailgate, and it sits behind the bumper where low-speed parking lot contact usually lands. It pulls straight back out when you need the receiver for a hitch.

Will Fab Fours accessories fit my existing bumper?

Usually only if the bumper is also Fab Fours. Most of their accessories are designed around their own bumper line and use its mounting points. If you are not certain what is on your truck, look for a brand stamp on the bumper, or ask at your nearest store and someone can identify it for you.

Do I need a bracket to mount a winch?

On most trucks, yes. Winches mount to a plate or cradle rather than bolting straight to a bumper, and the bracket has to suit both the winch and the bumper it is going on. Check the bracket listing for the winch models it covers before you order either one.
