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 Chevy Avalanche, Avalanche 1500, Suburban or Suburban 1500 and GMC Yukon XL or Yukon XL 1500 (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 204004 3-Inch Round Black Steel Nerf Bars, No-Drill, Fits Select Chevrolet Avalanche, Suburban, GMC Yukon XL (Part #BBDR204004) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The kit includes: 1 driver-side bar, 1 passenger-side bar, 2 front mounting brackets, 2 middle mounting brackets, 2 rear mounting brackets, 2 hex bolts (10mm × 30mm), 2 flat washers (10mm × 25mm × 2mm), 2 lock washers (10mm), 6 hex bolts (12mm × 120mm, for 2000–2006 models only), 4 hex bolts (12mm × 50mm), 10 flat washers (12mm × 35mm × 3mm), and 10 lock washers (12mm).
Wax the product after installation and regularly thereafter to add a protective layer over the finish. Do not use any polish or wax containing abrasives, as these can damage the finish. For gloss black finishes, mild soap may be used to clean the product. Perform periodic inspections to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight.
Yes. The kit includes 6 hex bolts (12mm × 120mm) specifically for 2000–2006 models. These bolts are used to attach the front mounting bracket to the vehicle's front body mount.
Yes. For 2007 models and newer, the installation uses the factory body mount bolt on the vehicle instead of the included 12mm × 120mm bolts. The kit still includes all other required hardware.
Yes. General Motors changed the body mount design in late 2010 and 2012 models. These trucks use a loose nut surrounded by a cage nut with tabs, and factory body mount bolts are coated with heavy-duty Loc-tite. When removing or tightening these bolts, you must use hand tools only—do not use impact tools. If bolts become increasingly tight while loosening, retighten and loosen them several times to clear the Loc-tite from the threads. Failure to follow this procedure may cause bolts to seize and the cage nut tabs to bend, allowing the nut to spin freely inside the chassis floorboard.
The manual does not specify required tools, but standard hand tools for working with M12 and 10mm fasteners (such as wrenches or sockets) will be needed. For 2010 and 2012 GM trucks, hand tools are mandatory—impact tools must not be used.
Yes. Installation begins by loosening and removing the body mount bolts that run upward through the mounts into the floorboard. For 2000–2006 models, these are replaced with the included 12mm × 120mm bolts. For 2007 and newer models, the factory bolts are reused. For 2010 and 2012 models, hand tools only must be used when removing and tightening these bolts.
1. Work on the driver-side first. 2. Loosen and remove the body mount bolts from underneath the truck. 3. Attach the front mounting bracket to the vehicle's front body mount with one bolt, one lock washer, and one flat washer; snug but do not fully tighten. 4. Repeat for the middle and rear mounting brackets. 5. Attach the side bar to the front and rear brackets using bolts, lock washers, and flat washers; hand tighten. 6. Fasten the middle bracket to the side bar using 10mm hardware; hand tighten. 7. Adjust the side bar to be level and centered, then tighten all bolts. 8. Repeat the entire process for the passenger-side.
No. When attaching the front, middle, and rear mounting brackets to the vehicle's body mounts, snug the hardware but do not fully tighten. Only fully tighten all bolts after the side bar has been adjusted to be level and centered.
For each bracket (front and rear), use one M12 × 50mm hex bolt, one 12mm lock washer, and one 12mm flat washer. Hand tighten initially; final tightening occurs after the side bar is adjusted to be level and centered.
Use one 10mm × 30mm hex bolt, one 10mm flat washer, and one 10mm lock washer. Hand tighten initially; final tightening occurs after the side bar is adjusted to be level and centered.
After attaching all brackets and hardware, adjust the side bar so that it is level and centered before fully tightening all bolts. The manual does not specify measurement tools or tolerances for this adjustment.
Perform periodic inspections to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight. The manual does not specify an inspection interval or which fasteners to check.
General Motors applied heavy-duty Loc-tite to the factory body mount bolts on late 2010 and 2012 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks. Impact tools can cause the bolts to seize and the cage nut tabs to bend, allowing the nut to spin freely inside the chassis floorboard. Hand tools allow you to control the loosening process and clear the Loc-tite from the threads by retightening and loosening the bolts several times if needed.
The ARIES 204004 fits Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra Light Duty and Heavy Duty trucks, including 2000–2006 and 2007+ models. For 2010 and 2012 models, special hand-tool-only installation procedures apply. Consult the manual or contact ARIES at 877.287.8634 for your specific model year.
Hand tools for M12 and 10mm fasteners (wrenches or sockets). For 2010 and 2012 GM trucks, hand tools are mandatory—do not use impact tools.
Yes. You must loosen and remove the factory body mount bolts from underneath the truck. For 2000–2006 models, these are replaced with included 12mm × 120mm bolts. For 2007+ models, factory bolts are reused. For 2010 and 2012 models, use hand tools only.
No. The installation uses existing factory body mount locations. No drilling, welding, cutting, or permanent modifications are required.
Wax the product after installation and regularly thereafter. Do not use abrasive polish or wax. For gloss black finishes, use mild soap to clean. Perform periodic inspections to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight.
These trucks use cage nuts with tabs and heavy-duty Loc-tite on factory body mount bolts. Using impact tools can seize the bolts and bend the cage nut tabs, causing the nut to spin freely. Hand tools only must be used, and bolts may need to be retightened and loosened several times to clear the Loc-tite.
