ARIES 3" side bars add a custom look and dependable footing to your truck, Jeep or SUV. They feature a classic style, a strong design and non-skid step pads. ARIES nerf bars are all made vehicle-specific for a custom, no-drill fit, and they are available in multiple finish options. This set of nerf bars is constructed from 304 stainless steel with a polished finish. Our 304 stainless steel is a true stainless with high nickel content, offering better corrosion resistance and a long-lasting finish. The polish is a triple application, resulting in a mirror-like shine to complement your vehicle. ARIES 3" round side bars also come with high-strength steel brackets and non-skid step pads. The mounting brackets -- as well as the side bars and step pads -- are custom-designed for specific makes and models to allow the nerf bars to contour to the lines of your vehicle. This ensures easy, no-drill installation and the strength necessary to provide solid footing. This particular set of custom nerf bars fits specific years of the Ford F150 (see application info to verify fitment). ARIES 3" round side bars also come with non-skid step pads made of polypropylene. These wide, custom-positioned step pads feature a textured pattern and cover a wide portion of the tubes to be more comfortable and high-traction, even in wet conditions.

Yes, the ARIES 203039-2 3-Inch Round Polished Stainless Steel Nerf Bars, No-Drill, Fits Select Ford F-150 (Part #BBDR203039-2) is designed to fit the 2009-2014 Ford F-150.
The ARIES 203039-2 3-Inch Round Polished Stainless Steel Nerf Bars, No-Drill, Fits Select Ford F-150 (Part #BBDR203039-2) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The kit includes two 3" round side bars (driver and passenger), four mounting brackets (two front, two rear), eight M8 hex bolts with flat and lock washers, sixteen M10 hex bolts with flat and lock washers, eight M10 clip nuts, eight M10 hex nuts, and eight M10 small flat washers. All fasteners needed for installation are included.
The manual does not specify which vehicles are compatible with part number 203039-2. Contact ARIES Automotive at 877-287-8634 or check ariesautomotive.com for vehicle fitment information.
You will need a ratchet, socket set, torque wrench, wrench set, and level. These tools are required to properly secure the hardware and ensure correct installation.
The manual does not specify whether any vehicle components need to be removed. Contact ARIES Automotive at 877-287-8634 for vehicle-specific preparation instructions.
The manual does not mention drilling. The installation uses existing mounting locations along the bottom edge of the vehicle. Contact ARIES Automotive at 877-287-8634 if you need to confirm whether drilling is required for your specific vehicle.
Each side of the vehicle requires one bracket with one cradle facing left and one facing right. The cradles face inward toward the vehicle. The front brackets are shorter than the rear brackets, so ensure you use the correct bracket at each location.
The mounting holes in the side bar that are closest to the end of the board should face the front of the vehicle.
1. Locate the two mounting locations on the driver side along the bottom edge. 2. Insert M10 clip nuts into the rectangular hole and secure the front bracket with M10 hex bolts, lock washers and flat washers from the top. 3. Secure the bracket from the bottom with M10 hex bolts and flat washers, then M10 lock washers, small flat washers and hex nuts on top. 4. Repeat for the rear bracket. 5. Place the side bar onto the brackets and secure with four M8 bolts, lock washers and flat washers—snug but do not fully tighten. 6. Adjust the side bar to desired location. 7. Tighten all bracket fasteners first, then the side bar connections. 8. Repeat steps 1–7 on the passenger side.
No. Snug all hardware but do not fully tighten during initial installation. After the side bar is placed and adjusted to the desired location, tighten all bracket fasteners to the vehicle first, followed by the side bar connections. This allows for proper alignment and adjustment before final tightening.
M8 bolts should be torqued to 7 ft-lbs.
M10 bolts should be torqued to 16 ft-lbs.
Periodic inspections should be performed to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight. Wax the product after installation and regularly thereafter to add a protective layer over the finish. Do not use polish or wax containing abrasives, as these can damage the finish. For polished, gloss and other smooth finishes, polish may be used to clear small scratches and scuffs. Clean with mild automotive detergent only; do not use dish detergent, abrasive cleaners, abrasive pads, wire brushes or similar products.
After installation, perform periodic inspections to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight. Refer to the torque specifications on page 1 of the manual (M8 bolts: 7 ft-lbs., M10 bolts: 16 ft-lbs.) when checking fastener tightness.
The manual does not specify vehicle applications. Contact ARIES Automotive at 877-287-8634 or visit ariesautomotive.com for fitment information.
