Finish: SEMI-GLOSS BLACK POWDER COAT
Material: Stainless Steel
Side Component Type: Board and Bracket
ARIES 3" round side bars are a reliable and budget-friendly option for side steps on your truck. This set of nerf bars offers solid rust resistance, a custom fit and a no-drill installation. Constructed from stainless steel, these 3" side bars are perfect for work or play, easily withstanding dirt, water, mud, sand, snow and road salt and maintaining dependable corrosion resistance even offroad. They also come with a durable semi-gloss black powder coat finish that greater enhances rust resistance, and helps keep the nerf bars looking clean in spite of minor scuffs and scratches. 3" diameter, heavy-wall tubing is used to construct the steps, providing excellent strength and rigidity for safe, comfortable entry and exit. These 3" round nerf bars also feature non-skid step pads to further enhance safety. The step pads are textured to increase traction, and they are custom-placed to match the door layout for a convenient step up right where you need it. To ensure the best fit and appearance on your truck, every set of 3" side bars is made vehicle-specific. This means the steps are bent to a specific contour to complement the shape of the vehicle's rocker panels. It also makes for a much easier installation compared to any universal nerf bars or running boards. These particular 3" nerf bars are designed to fit specific years of the Ford Excursion, F250 Super Duty and F350 Super Duty (see application info to verify fitment). ARIES side bars use heavy-duty, vehicle-specific brackets that mount using pre-existing factory holes to completely eliminate drilling from the installation process. This speeds up the install and helps avoid unnecessary modification to your vehicle. It also promotes a stronger, more rigid step for sure footing every time you climb into your truck.

The ARIES 213006 3-Inch Round Black Stainless Steel Nerf Bars, No-Drill, Fits Select Ford Excursion, F-250, F-350 Super Duty (Part #BBDR213006) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The kit includes 1 driver/left side bar, 1 passenger/right side bar, 4 mounting brackets, 4 hex head bolts 1/2" - 13 x 2", 4 lock washers 1/2", 4 flat washers 1/2", 6 clip nuts M10, 14 hex head bolts M10 - 1.50 x 40mm, 22 flat washers M10, 14 lock washers M10, 8 hex nuts M10, and 2 front bracket body spacers.
You will need a ratchet, open-end wrench set, and socket set. Proper tools will improve the quality of installation and reduce the time required.
Yes, assistance is recommended. The manual specifically states that assistance is recommended when carefully placing the sidebar into position and attaching it to the mounting brackets.
There are four mounting locations: driver side front (in the body panel and pinch weld under the front door), driver side rear (at the rear of the cab), passenger side front, and passenger side rear. Each location uses factory holes in the body panel and pinch weld.
The Front Bracket Spacer installs between the body panel and front bracket only. It lines up with the clip nut and the hole in the pinch weld to ensure proper alignment and spacing of the front mounting bracket.
Insert one 10mm clip nut into the rectangular opening in the body panel and line up the threaded hole in the clip nut with the round hole next to the opening. The threaded nut must face towards the inside of the body panel. This is done at both the front and rear mounting locations.
The front bracket uses one 10mm x 40mm hex bolt, one 10mm lock washer, and one 10mm flat washer through the top hole. The bottom of the bracket uses two 10mm x 40mm hex bolts, two 10mm lock washers, four 10mm flat washers, and two 10mm hex nuts. Insert hex bolts from the outside through the pinch weld and then the bracket.
The sidebar is attached to each mounting bracket using one 1/2" x 2" hex bolt, one 1/2" lock washer, and one 1/2" flat washer. Two sets of this hardware are used per sidebar (one per bracket).
No. The manual instructs to leave the top hardware loose during bracket installation. After carefully placing the sidebar into position and attaching it to the mounting brackets, level and align the sidebar with the side of the vehicle, then tighten all hardware.
M10 bolts should be torqued to 16 ft-lbs. This applies to the 10mm x 40mm hex bolts used throughout the 213006 installation.
1/2" bolts should be torqued to 28 ft-lbs. This applies to the 1/2" - 13 x 2" hex bolts that attach the sidebar to the mounting brackets.
Wax the sidebar after installation and regularly thereafter to add a protective layer. Do not use polish or wax containing abrasives, dish detergent, abrasive cleaners, abrasive pads, or wire brushes, as these may damage the finish. For stainless steel, aluminum polish may be used on small scratches and scuffs. For gloss black finishes, use mild soap to clean. Mild automotive detergent may be used for general cleaning.
Periodically check and retighten the hardware as necessary. The manual does not specify a retightening interval, so regular inspection is recommended to ensure all fasteners remain secure.
The manual does not specify vehicle compatibility. Contact Aries Automotive at 877.287.8634 or check ariesautomotive.com to confirm fitment for your specific year, make, and model.
The manual lists ratchet, open-end wrench set, and socket set as required. No additional tools are mentioned as necessary.
The manual rates installation difficulty as "Easy" and does not require professional installation, though assistance is recommended. No special equipment or lifting devices are mentioned.
No drilling is required. The installation uses existing factory holes in the body panel and pinch weld. Clip nuts are inserted into rectangular openings to align with existing round holes.
M10 bolts: 16 ft-lbs. 1/2" bolts: 28 ft-lbs. Use these specifications unless otherwise noted in the instructions.
Do not use dish detergent, abrasive cleaners, abrasive pads, wire brushes, or polish/wax containing abrasives. Use mild automotive detergent and mild soap instead. These products may damage the finish.
Periodically check and retighten hardware as necessary. The manual does not specify a fixed interval; regular inspection is recommended.
