ARIES 3" side bars are more than a fancy decal for your truck, Jeep or SUV. They are a confident first step on each new adventure. These 3" nerf bars are constructed from strong carbon steel for superior rigidity, and they feature a sleek semi-gloss black powder coat finish. For an added edge, each nerf bar also goes through an E-coat process, before receiving its black powder coat, to strengthen and protect the final finish against peeling, chipping and scratching. ARIES 3" round side bars are also available in polished stainless steel or semi-gloss black powder-coated steel. All ARIES 3" nerf bars come with heavy-duty steel brackets and non-skid step pads. The mounting brackets are strong and custom-designed for specific makes and models to allow the side bars to contour to the lines of your vehicle. They offer easy installation and the strength necessary to provide sound footing. These particular custom nerf bars fit specific years of the Ford F250 Super Duty and F350 Super Duty (see application info to verify fitment). ARIES 3" round side bars also come with non-skid step pads made of tough polypropylene. These step pads feature a textured pattern for enhanced safety, and they cover a wide portion of the tubes for a more comfortable step.

Yes, Curt part numbers 203014 and 203014-2 are designed for 1999–2010 Ford F250/350 Super Duty Regular Cab models. The manual covers installation for this application only.
The kit includes: 1 driver/left side bar, 1 passenger/right side bar, 1 driver/left front mounting bracket, 1 passenger/right front mounting bracket, 1 driver/left rear mounting bracket, 1 passenger/right rear mounting bracket, 4 × 12mm × 50mm hex bolts, 4 × 12mm flat washers, 4 × 12mm lock washers, 12 × 10mm × 30mm hex bolts, 20 × 10mm flat washers, 12 × 10mm lock washers, 4 × 10mm clip nuts, and 8 × 10mm hex nuts.
On some vehicles, factory tape covers the mounting holes underneath the vehicle. The manual states you may need to remove this tape to access the mounting holes, but does not specify whether this is required on all vehicles or only some. Check your vehicle's underside before starting installation.
1. Install the driver/left front mounting bracket first using 3 × 10mm hex bolts, 5 × 10mm flat washers, 3 × 10mm lock washers, and 2 × 10mm hex nuts. Snug but do not tighten. 2. Install the driver/left rear mounting bracket using the same hardware specification. Snug but do not tighten. 3. Attach the driver/left side bar to both brackets using 2 × 12mm × 50mm hex bolts, 2 × 12mm flat washers, and 2 × 12mm lock washers. Snug but do not tighten. 4. Level and align the side bar, then tighten all hardware. 5. Repeat steps 1–4 for the passenger/right side.
Do not tighten hardware immediately. Snug all fasteners on the front mounting bracket, rear mounting bracket, and side bar attachment, but leave them loose. Only after the side bar is levelled and aligned should you tighten all hardware. This allows proper positioning before final tightening.
The 10mm clip nuts are installed into the factory mounting holes underneath the vehicle before attaching the mounting brackets. The manual references Figures 1A and 2A as showing the clip nut installation, but does not provide detailed installation instructions. Consult the figures in the manual for visual guidance.
Use 3 × 10mm × 30mm hex bolts, 5 × 10mm flat washers, 3 × 10mm lock washers, and 2 × 10mm hex nuts. Install into the factory mounting holes with the 10mm clip nuts already in place. Snug but do not tighten until the side bar is levelled and aligned.
Use 3 × 10mm × 30mm hex bolts, 5 × 10mm flat washers, 3 × 10mm lock washers, and 2 × 10mm hex nuts. Install into the factory mounting holes with the 10mm clip nuts already in place. Snug but do not tighten until the side bar is levelled and aligned.
Each side bar is attached to its front and rear mounting brackets using 2 × 12mm × 50mm hex bolts, 2 × 12mm flat washers, and 2 × 12mm lock washers per side (4 bolts total per side bar). Snug but do not tighten until the bar is levelled and aligned.
After all brackets and side bars are snugged in place, level and align the side bar properly. The manual does not specify the alignment method or tolerance. Once aligned, tighten all hardware.
Wax the product after installing to protect the finish. Regular waxing is recommended to add a protective layer. Do not use polish or wax containing abrasives, as these can damage the finish. For stainless steel, aluminum polish may be used to polish small scratches and scuffs, and mild soap may be used to clean. For gloss black finishes, use mild soap only to clean.
Perform periodic inspections to ensure all hardware is secure and tight. The manual does not specify the inspection interval or a detailed checklist beyond verifying hardware security.
