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 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 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, part numbers 203045 and 203045-2 are designed specifically for the 2015 Ford F150 Regular Cab. The installation instructions confirm fitment for this model and cab style.
The manual only confirms fitment for the 2015 Ford F150 Regular Cab. Compatibility with other cab styles is not stated in the installation instructions.
The kit includes: 1 driver/left sidebar, 1 passenger/right sidebar, 4 sidebar mounting brackets (universal for left or right), 8 hex bolts (8mm x 25mm), 12 plastic washers (8mm), 12 nylon lock nuts (8-1.25mm), 20 flat washers (8mm x 24mm OD x 2mm), and 8 lock washers (8mm).
Yes, assistance is recommended for installation of these sidebars.
The manual does not specify which tools are required for installation. You will need tools to work with 8mm fasteners and to level the sidebars during installation, but specific tool names and sizes are not listed.
The sidebars attach to factory running board mounting locations along the inner side of the body panel. There are front and rear mounting locations on each side of the vehicle. The factory mounting points use existing threaded studs in the body panel.
The plastic washers are designed to prevent corrosion between the aluminum body panel and the steel mounting brackets. They must be installed on all factory mounting studs before attaching the brackets. Do not install the brackets without the plastic washers.
Yes, all 4 mounting brackets are universal and will fit either the left (driver) or right (passenger) side of the vehicle.
Three mounting brackets are used per sidebar. Each bracket is attached to 3 factory studs with 3 fasteners (8mm flat washers, 8mm nylon lock nuts, and the factory stud).
Each mounting bracket uses 3 fasteners per bracket: 1 factory mounting stud (existing on vehicle), 1 8mm flat washer, and 1 8mm nylon lock nut. The plastic washer is threaded onto the factory stud before the bracket is attached.
Each sidebar is attached to the mounting brackets with 4 fasteners: 4 hex bolts (8mm x 25mm), 4 lock washers (8mm), and 4 flat washers (8mm x 24mm OD x 2mm). Two fasteners attach to each of the front and rear brackets.
No. When attaching the mounting brackets to the factory studs, snug but do not fully tighten the hardware. When attaching the sidebar to the mounting brackets, do not tighten the hardware. Tighten all hardware only after leveling and adjusting the sidebar.
After positioning the sidebar onto the mounting brackets and attaching it with the hex bolts (without tightening), level and adjust the sidebar as needed. Once level and properly positioned, tighten all hardware.
No. Do not slide the sidebar front to back or rotate it on the brackets, as damage to the finish on the sidebar may result. Carefully position the sidebar onto the mounting brackets without sliding or rotating.
The manual does not provide torque specifications for any of the fasteners used in the installation.
Wax the product after installing to protect the finish. Regular waxing is recommended to add a protective layer. Do not use any polish or wax containing abrasives, as these could damage the finish. For stainless steel sidebars, aluminum polish may be used to polish small scratches and scuffs, and mild soap may be used for cleaning. For gloss black finishes, use only mild soap for cleaning.
Perform periodic inspections to ensure that all hardware is secure and tight. Check the installation regularly to verify that fasteners have not loosened.
