What is the Cost of Road Armor Bumpers?
If you had $4,000 to spend on a Road Armor Bumper, you would be a very happy customer. But so would you if you only wanted to spend $1,000. Like many aftermarket replacement bumper brands, Road Armor has a wide selection that varies widely in price and design.
In particular, Road Armor is renowned for its modular designs that give you the freedom to customize your front and rear bumpers to suit your needs and tastes.
While it is fantastic to have your pick of center sections and end pods, that kind of variety makes it hard to put a standard price on these bumpers.
One thing is sure: since Road Armor is one of the finest manufacturers of aftermarket bumpers, its products do fetch top-tier prices.

FAQs
Are Road Armor Bumpers Better Than Others?
Yes. When compared to other cheap brands, Road Armor has stronger, heavier, more beautiful bumpers. The quality of steel used, level of craftsmanship, and beautiful finish on the company’s bumpers are impeccable.
How Much Do Road Armor Bumpers Weigh?
Made of solid smooth steel sheets, Road Armor bumpers are heavy. Depending on the Series you choose, the bumper can weigh 200-350 pounds. If you are also going to have a huge winch installed (Road Armor supports up to 16,500 winches), your front end is going to be loaded. We recommend upgrading to 5,000-pound front springs or better.
Are Road Armor Bumpers Different?
Yes, Road Armor bumpers are designed and built differently from many other brands. For one, the company uses super-heavy-duty smooth steel and boxed-in internal structures. Even better, Road Armor uses a modular design that lets you tweak the bumper to your taste and needs by changing components such as the end pods.
Are Expensive Replacement Bumpers Worth It?
When it comes to bumpers that protect your truck from impact, no price should be too high. You could encounter a deer while going 70 mph, in which case you would want the strongest front bumper on your truck to protect you so that you can keep going.
Cheap bumpers may save you a few hundred dollars now, but you will pay much more in repair costs after an accident. Road Armor bumpers have a lifetime warranty against breakage, meaning that you can trust them with your life.
