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 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 extended cab (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 Silverado, Sierra 1500 Extended Cab Step Nerf Bar Kit (Part #BBDR204054) fits 2019-2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 models. The 2026 model year is the last year covered by this part number. For newer models, check for an updated version.
The ARIES 3" Round Black Steel Side Bars, Select Silverado, Sierra 1500 Extended Cab Step Nerf Bar Kit (Part #BBDR204054) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The kit includes two 3" oval side bars (driver/left and passenger/right), three front mounting brackets (one driver/left, one passenger/right, and one center support), three rear mounting brackets (one driver/left, one passenger/right, and one center support), four 1/2" x 2" hex bolts, four 1/2" lock washers, four 1/2" x 1-1/2" OD x 1/8" large flat washers, and two 8mm combo bolts (8 - 1.25mm x 25mm).
The manual does not specify which vehicles are compatible with part number 204054. Contact Aries Automotive at 877.287.8634 or check ariesautomotive.com for fitment information before purchasing.
You will need a ratchet, torque wrench, socket set, level, and socket extension. A level is essential because the bars must be leveled and adjusted before final tightening.
Yes, assistance is recommended. The manual states "ASSISTANCE IS RECOMMENDED" in the procedure section, and specifically notes that assistance is needed when lining up and attaching the sidebar tubes to the mounting brackets.
Yes. The installation requires removing the factory body bolts at the front, center, and rear mounting locations. These factory bolts are then reused to attach the mounting brackets to the body mounts. The manual states to "Remove the front body bolt" and then "Reuse the factory body bolt to attach the Bracket."
Install the passenger/right side first, then repeat for the driver/left side. For each side: (1) Install the front mounting bracket using the factory body bolt, (2) Install the center support bracket using the factory body bolt, (3) Install the rear mounting bracket using the factory body bolt, (4) Attach the sidebar tube to the front bracket with a 1/2" hex bolt, lock washer, and flat washer (snug but do not tighten), (5) Attach the sidebar tube to the rear bracket with the same hardware (snug but do not tighten), (6) Attach the center support bracket to the sidebar with an 8mm combo bolt (do not tighten), (7) Level and adjust the sidebar, then fully tighten all hardware.
The hardware must remain loose initially so that you can level and adjust the sidebar for proper alignment. Once the sidebar is level and positioned correctly, all hardware is then fully tightened. The manual states "Snug but do not tighten hardware at this time" for the front and rear connections, and "Do not tighten hardware at this time" for the center support bracket, with final tightening occurring after leveling.
The torque specification for 1/2" bolts is 28 ft-lbs. This applies to the four 1/2" x 2" hex bolts that attach the sidebar tubes to the front and rear mounting brackets.
The manual provides a torque specification table for metric bolts (M6, M8, M10, M12) and SAE bolts (1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 7/16", 1/2"), but does not explicitly state which specification applies to the 8mm combo bolts. The 8mm bolts are closest to M8 (7 ft-lbs.), but contact Aries Automotive at 877.287.8634 to confirm the correct torque value for these specific fasteners.
Wax the product after installation. Regular waxing is recommended to add a protective layer over the finish. Use only mild automotive detergent to clean the bars. Do not use dish detergent, abrasive cleaners, abrasive pads, wire brushes, or any polish or wax containing abrasives, as these will damage the finish. For polished, gloss and other smooth finishes, polish may be used to clear small scratches and scuffs.
Perform periodic inspections to ensure that all hardware is secure and tight. The manual does not specify the inspection interval, so contact Aries Automotive at 877.287.8634 for recommended retorque timing.
The manual does not specify vehicle applications. Contact Aries Automotive at 877.287.8634 or visit ariesautomotive.com to confirm fitment for your specific vehicle.
