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 b rackets 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 F150 (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.

The ARIES 203039 3-Inch Round Black Steel Nerf Bars, No-Drill, Fits Select Ford F-150 (Part #BBDR203039) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.

The manual does not specify whether drilling is required. Installation involves inserting M10 clip nuts into rectangular holes and securing brackets with bolts to existing mounting locations on the vehicle.
Required tools are: ratchet, socket set, torque wrench, wrench set, and level.
M8 bolts: 7 ft-lbs. M10 bolts: 16 ft-lbs. These specifications apply unless otherwise noted in the installation instructions.
Snug all hardware during initial installation but do not fully tighten. After positioning the side bar to the desired location, tighten all brackets to the vehicle first, then tighten the side bar connections to the specified torque values.
Perform periodic inspections to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight. Wax the product after installation and regularly thereafter using non-abrasive wax. Clean with mild automotive detergent only; do not use dish detergent, abrasive cleaners, abrasive pads, or wire brushes.
The ARIES 203039 is a 3" round side bar system for vehicles. It consists of two side bars (one for driver side, one for passenger side) mounted to the bottom edge of the vehicle using brackets and bolts. The bars are designed to provide side protection and are installed using the included hardware and brackets.
The manual does not specify which vehicles are compatible with part number 203039. Contact ARIES Automotive at 877.287.8634 or visit ariesautomotive.com for fitment information.
The manual does not specify whether any vehicle components must be removed. It indicates that installation begins by locating two mounting locations along the bottom edge of the vehicle on each side. Contact ARIES Automotive at 877.287.8634 for vehicle-specific preparation requirements.
Use one bracket with one cradle facing left and one facing right for each side of the vehicle. The cradles will face inward toward the vehicle. The front brackets are shorter than the rear brackets, so ensure you use the correct bracket at each mounting location.
At the front driver-side mounting location, remove tape and insert two M10 clip nuts into the rectangular hole, aligning them over the adjacent round holes. Place the bracket onto the vehicle and secure the top portion with two M10 hex bolts, lock washers and flat washers. Snug but do not fully tighten. Then secure the bottom of the bracket by inserting two M10 hex bolts and flat washers from underneath, with M10 lock washers, small flat washers and hex nuts on top. Repeat for the rear bracket and passenger side.
Place the driver-side side bar onto the brackets and secure with four M8 bolts, lock washers and flat washers. Snug the hardware but do not fully tighten at this stage. The mounting holes in the bar that are closest to the end of the board should face the front of the vehicle. Repeat on the passenger side.
Yes. After placing the side bar onto the brackets and snugging the hardware, you can adjust the side bar to the desired location before final tightening. Once positioned, tighten all brackets to the vehicle first, followed by the side bar connections to the specified torque values.
Metric bolts: M6 = 3 ft-lbs., M8 = 7 ft-lbs., M10 = 16 ft-lbs., M12 = 28 ft-lbs. SAE bolts: 1/4" = 3 ft-lbs., 5/16" = 7 ft-lbs., 3/8" = 16 ft-lbs., 7/16" = 20 ft-lbs., 1/2" = 28 ft-lbs. Use these specifications unless otherwise noted in the installation instructions.
Clean with mild automotive detergent only. Do not use dish detergent, abrasive cleaners, abrasive pads, wire brushes or similar products that may damage the finish. Wax the product after installation and regularly thereafter using non-abrasive wax. For polished, gloss and other smooth finishes, polish may be used to clear small scratches and scuffs. Avoid any wax or polish containing abrasives.
After installation, perform periodic inspections to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight. Verify that the side bars are positioned as desired and that all bolts are torqued to the specified values: M8 bolts to 7 ft-lbs. and M10 bolts to 16 ft-lbs.
The manual recommends performing periodic inspections to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight but does not specify an inspection interval. Contact ARIES Automotive at 877.287.8634 for recommended inspection frequency.
