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, 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 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. Part numbers 203044 and 203044-2 are designed for 2015–2016 Ford F-150 Super Cab models. The manual does not specify fitment for other cab styles, bed lengths, or model years.
The kit includes: 1 driver/left Sidebar, 1 passenger/right Sidebar, 4 Sidebar Brackets (universal for left or right), 12 8mm Plastic Washers, 12 8-1.25mm Nylon Lock Nuts, 8 8mm x 25mm Hex Bolts, 8 8mm Lock Washers, and 20 8mm x 24mm OD x 2mm Washers.
Professional installation is not required. The manual states that assistance is recommended, meaning a second person is helpful but the installation can be completed by a DIYer with basic hand tools.
The manual does not specify required tools. Based on the hardware used (8mm fasteners), a wrench or socket set for 8mm bolts and nuts is necessary. No power tools, drilling equipment, or lifting equipment is required.
Install the driver/left side first, then the passenger/right side. For each side: (1) locate factory mounting studs, (2) slide plastic washers onto each stud, (3) attach the mounting bracket with flat washers and nylon lock nuts (snug but do not fully tighten), (4) position the Sidebar onto the brackets without sliding or rotating it, (5) attach the Sidebar with hex bolts, lock washers, and flat washers (do not tighten), (6) level and adjust the Sidebar, then tighten all hardware.
Plastic Washers are designed to prevent corrosion between the aluminum body panel and the steel mounting brackets. The manual states that brackets must not be installed without plastic washers.
No. The manual explicitly states: 'Do not slide (front to back or rotate) the Sidebar on the Brackets or damage to the finish on the Sidebar may result.' Carefully position the Sidebar onto the Brackets without sliding or rotating it.
No. When attaching the Mounting Bracket to the factory studs, snug the hardware but do not fully tighten it. Similarly, when attaching the Sidebar to the Mounting Brackets, do not tighten the hardware. Only after leveling and adjusting the Sidebar should all hardware be fully tightened.
Yes. The manual states: 'All (4) Brackets are universal and will fit left or right side.' You do not need separate left and right brackets.
The manual does not provide torque specifications for any fasteners. Contact Curt Manufacturing or consult a qualified installer for torque values.
No. The installation involves no electrical work and does not require battery disconnection.
No. The sidebars attach to existing factory mounting studs on the body panel. No drilling, cutting, welding, or permanent vehicle modifications are required.
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 may damage the finish. For stainless steel: aluminum polish may be used to polish small scratches and scuffs; mild soap may be used to clean. For gloss black finishes: mild soap may be used to clean.
Perform periodic inspections to ensure that all hardware is secure and tight. The manual does not specify an inspection interval or a detailed checklist.
Each Sidebar is attached to the Mounting Brackets with 4 8mm x 25mm Hex Bolts, 4 8mm Lock Washers, and 4 8mm Flat Washers. Two bolts, two lock washers, and two flat washers attach to each bracket.
Each Mounting Bracket is attached to the factory studs with 3 8mm Flat Washers and 3 8mm Nylon Lock Nuts. The fasteners thread onto the existing factory mounting studs; no bolts are used for this connection.
