After-Market Chassis/Body? No Problem!

We often get asked what bumpers will fit someone's custom body/chassis. Though we do not have every single set of after-market frame rails in-house, there is an easy way to determine which ScalerFab bumpers will be the best fit and finish for your build.

The first things we ask customers to do is to measure from the top corner of the frame rails OUT to and UP to the body, in millimeters. This will determine which kind of brackets we'll need to use.

If the body sits higher than the top of the frame rails, we have a few options for raised brackets: 5mm, 10mm, and 20mm raised above the frame rails. The 10mm brackets have off-set mounting holes that fit the axial-style frame rails, while the 5mm and 20mm raised brackets can fit any chassis rails. We also have non-raised rackets for bodies that sit pretty even with the top of the frame rails. 

NOTE: If the body sits taller than  20mm above the frame rails, and/or sticks out more than about 50mm from the end of the frame rails, we unfortunately cannot accommodate with our brackets, nor are we accepting full custom orders.

Otherwise, You can use the below information to determine which set of bumpers to browse that will fit your body/chassis combo. Find the option that best fits your set-up, based on how high the body sits and how wide your frame rails are. Additionally, once you find the correct height and mounting holes, you can customize the overall width in the space provided on the product page.
