DV8 truck bumpers are made with high tensile strength 3/16 in. steel and reinforced with 1/4 in. steel in key areas. We also use a 2 step powder coating process. First the bumper is coated with a thick layer of a proprietary compound for corrosion resistance, then we coat the bumper with our textured black, UV resistant, scratch resistant powder coating. The result is a bumper that will look good and perform well for the lifetime of the vehicle.
