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 Bronco Sport (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 3" Round Black Steel Side Bars, Select Ford Bronco Sport Step Nerf Bar Kit (Part #BBDR209043) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The kit includes two 3" sidebars (driver and passenger sides), six mounting brackets (front, center, and rear for each side), support brackets, compression plates, and all required fasteners: spiral bolts, hex bolts, combo bolts, flat washers, lock washers, hex nuts, and plastic retainers. A complete parts list with quantities is provided in the manual.
The manual does not specify which vehicles this sidebar is compatible with. Contact ARIES Automotive at 877-287-8634 or visit ariesautomotive.com to confirm fitment for your specific vehicle year, make, model, cab style and bed length.
You will need a 13mm socket, 17mm socket, ratchet, and flathead screwdriver. Proper tools will improve installation quality and reduce installation time.
Yes. The manual specifies that assistance is required when placing the sidebar onto the cradles of the mounting brackets. This is noted as an important step to prevent damage to the finish.
First, remove all contents from the box and verify that all parts are present. Then read all instructions carefully before starting installation. Next, remove the large plastic cover on the bottom of the floor panel on the driver/left side of the vehicle to access the floor panel and plastic clips in the outer trim.
Gently pull the trim slightly to loosen the clips, then carefully remove only the plastic clips needed for installation. The manual shows this process on both driver and passenger sides. Do not remove more clips than necessary.
Install in this order: (1) Front mounting bracket and support bracket on the driver/left side, (2) Center support bracket and center mounting bracket, (3) Rear mounting bracket and support bracket, (4) Repeat steps 1-3 for the passenger/right side, (5) Place the sidebar onto all three mounting brackets with assistance, (6) Attach the sidebar with combo bolts, (7) Level and adjust the sidebar, then tighten all hardware. Do not tighten any hardware until the final leveling step.
The compression plate is used to level the center mounting bracket. It is placed onto a 10mm x 60mm hex bolt assembly that threads into the welded nut on the back of the mounting bracket. The hex nut on the bolt can be adjusted to level the mounting bracket before final tightening.
No. The manual specifies "Do not tighten hardware" after each mounting bracket and support bracket attachment. All hardware remains loose until the final step, when you level and adjust the sidebar and then tighten all hardware together.
M8 bolts (8mm): 7 ft-lbs. M10 bolts (10mm): 16 ft-lbs. These torque values apply unless otherwise noted in the instructions. Use these specifications when securing hardware during installation to prevent damage to the product or vehicle.
The sidebar is attached using six 8mm combo bolts (two per mounting bracket: front, center, and rear). These bolts are inserted through the sidebar into the mounting brackets and secured with washers and nuts.
The 10mm spiral bolts are inserted into the side panel at the front, center, and rear mounting locations. They serve as anchor points for the support brackets, which connect the mounting brackets to the vehicle's side panel structure.
The short bolt plate (10mm x 40mm) is used at the front and rear mounting locations, while the long bolt plate (10mm x 40mm) is used at the rear location. Both are inserted into the floor panel and held in place with a plastic retainer before the mounting bracket is attached.
Sliding or rotating the sidebar during installation may damage the finish. The manual emphasizes this as an important precaution when placing the sidebar onto the cradles of the mounting brackets with assistance.
Use mild automotive detergent or mild soap to clean the sidebars. Do not use dish detergent, abrasive cleaners, abrasive pads, wire brushes, or any polish or wax that may contain abrasives, as these can damage the finish.
Perform periodic inspections to ensure that all hardware and components remain secure and tight. The manual emphasizes that periodic inspection of the installation should be performed to maintain the integrity of the product.
The manual does not specify vehicle compatibility. Contact ARIES Automotive at 877-287-8634 or visit ariesautomotive.com to confirm fitment for your specific vehicle.
