When you start and end your day turning the ignition of your truck, unreliable footing just is not an option. You need a step that can bear weight with ease, provide comfortable footing and look good doing it. ARIES 4" oval side bars are sleek, strong and custom-fitted to be a highly functional extension of your truck. ARIES 4" oval side bars are made with strong 4" elliptical tubing and are available in two different finish options to allow you full customization: polished stainless steel and black powder coat carbon steel. This set of side bars is constructed from high-strength carbon steel for a solid step, and they feature a dual-layer E-coat and semi-gloss black powder coat finish for excellent protection against scratching, chipping and peeling. Something that sets the ARIES 4" oval side bar apart from all others is its blended end caps and OE-style bends. Rather than capping our side bars with a plastic cap, we offer a blended end cap for a smooth, finished appearance. We also equip the ends with a special 20-degree bend and original equipment styling to perfectly contour to your vehicle. ARIES 4" oval side bars are fitted with raised step pads to provide a wide stepping surface. The polypropylene construction will not crack over time, and because it has a textured grip, the surface is highly resistant to slips and skids, even when wet. To add an extra element of class to our oval sides, we also fit each one with a stainless steel insignia bearing the ARIES name. Installation of ARIES 4" oval side bars is quick and easy with custom-fitted mounting brackets and no drilling necessary. These nerf bars fit select model years of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500, 2500 HD, 2500 HD Classic, 3500 HD and 3500 Classic (see application info to verify fitment).

The ARIES 4" Black Steel Oval Side Bars, Select Silverado, Sierra 1500, 2500, 3500 Step Nerf Bar Kit (Part #BBDRS224009) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes. The S224009 is designed for 2011–2013 Dodge Ram 2500 and 2500/3500 models. The kit includes model-specific support brackets for 2011–2013 2500/3500 trucks, so verify your model year and engine size match this range before purchase.
Yes. The S224009 includes support brackets for 1999–2010 2500/3500 models. The kit contains separate bracket sets for older and newer model years, so the correct brackets for your truck are included.
Yes. The S224009 is compatible with 1999–2013 Dodge Ram 1500 models. The kit includes support brackets for 1500 trucks and uses the same mounting procedure as the 2500/3500 variants.
The kit includes: 2 side bars (driver and passenger), 6 mounting brackets (front, center, and rear for each side), 2 bolt tabs (M10 x 47mm), 18 M10 hex bolts (30mm), 24 M10 flat washers, 20 M10 lock washers, 6 M10 hex nuts, 2 M10 nut plates, 2 M12 hex bolts (30mm), 4 M12 flat washers, 2 M12 lock washers, and 2 M12 hex nuts. All fasteners needed for installation are included.
The manual does not specify required tools. However, the installation involves removing and reinstalling factory body mount bolts and tightening multiple M10 and M12 fasteners, so you will need a wrench set or socket set that fits metric bolts (10mm and 12mm sockets/wrenches). A torque wrench is recommended to meet the specified torque values.
The manual does not mention disconnecting the battery. No electrical work is involved in this installation.
No. The manual explicitly states: 'Do not remove bushings.' When removing the front, center, and rear body mount bolts in step 2, leave the factory bushings in place.
The manual does not specify whether a lift or jack is required. However, the installation requires access to the underside of the vehicle to remove and reinstall factory body mount bolts and to insert nut plates into frame holes. You will need to safely raise and support the vehicle to reach these areas.
1. Remove all contents and verify parts are present. 2. Remove factory front, center, and rear body mount bolts from the underside (do not remove bushings). 3. Hang driver-side mounting brackets by partially threading factory bolts back in. 4. Insert nut plates into frame holes. 5. Attach driver-side front support bracket to nut plate and mounting bracket (do not fully tighten). 6. Attach center support bracket to body mount and center mounting bracket (do not fully tighten). 7. Attach middle support bracket using bolt tab. 8. Position and attach driver-side bar to all mounting brackets (do not fully tighten). 9. Level and adjust the bar, then tighten all hardware. 10. Repeat steps 2–9 for the passenger side.
Do not tighten any fasteners until the final step. The manual states 'Do not tighten at this time' for the front support bracket, center support bracket, middle support bracket, and side bar attachment. Only after the driver-side bar is positioned and levelled should you tighten all hardware. Repeat this process for the passenger side.
1. Insert one nut plate through the oval hole in the frame, orienting it toward the front round hole. 2. Partially thread one M10 x 30mm hex bolt, one M10 lock washer, and one M10 flat washer into the nut plate. 3. Do not fully tighten. 4. Tighten this connection to the nut plate. 5. Carefully push up on the support bracket until it reaches the inside hole in the mounting bracket. 6. Attach the opposite side of the support bracket to the inside hole in the mounting bracket using one M10 x 30mm hex bolt, one M10 hex nut, one M10 lock washer, and two M10 flat washers. Do not tighten at this time.
The bolt tab (M10 x 47mm) is placed in an oblong hole located just above the center mounting bracket. It serves as an anchor point to secure the driver-side middle support bracket. The bracket is secured to the bolt tab using one M10 hex nut, one M10 lock washer, and one M10 flat washer.
Six fasteners attach each side bar to its mounting brackets. Each connection uses one M10 x 30mm hex bolt, one M10 lock washer, and one M10 flat washer. The side bar is attached at three points: front, center, and rear mounting brackets.
M10 bolts must be torqued to 16 ft.-lbs. This applies to all M10 hex bolts used in the S224009 installation, including those securing the support brackets and side bars.
M12 bolts must be torqued to 28 ft.-lbs. This applies to the M12 hex bolts used to attach the center support bracket to the body mount.
The M10 bolt tab is M10 x 47mm. It is placed in the oblong hole above the center mounting bracket to anchor the middle support bracket.
The M10 flat washers are M10 ID x 22mm OD x 1.5mm (inner diameter 10mm, outer diameter 22mm, thickness 1.5mm).
The M12 flat washers are M12 ID x 29mm OD x 3mm (inner diameter 12mm, outer diameter 29mm, thickness 3mm).
Wax the product after installation to protect the finish. Regular waxing is recommended to add a protective layer. For gloss black finishes, use only mild soap to clean the product. Do not use any polish or wax containing abrasives, as these can damage the finish. Perform periodic inspections to ensure all hardware remains secure and tight.
After installation, level and adjust the side bar before final tightening. Once all hardware is tightened, perform periodic inspections to verify that all fasteners remain secure and tight. The manual does not specify an inspection interval, but regular checks are recommended to maintain safety and prevent loosening due to vehicle vibration.
Yes, if it is a 1999–2013 Ram 1500 or 1999–2010 Ram 2500/3500, or 2011–2013 Ram 2500/3500. The kit includes brackets for all these model years.
Yes. All bolts, washers, nuts, and nut plates needed for installation are included. No additional hardware is required.
No. The manual explicitly states 'Do not remove bushings.' Leave them in place when removing the body mount bolts.
Do not tighten any fasteners until after the side bar is positioned and levelled. Only then tighten all hardware. This applies to both the driver and passenger sides.
M10 bolts: 16 ft.-lbs. M12 bolts: 28 ft.-lbs. All fasteners in the kit use these two sizes.
Wax the product after installation and regularly thereafter using only non-abrasive wax. For gloss black finishes, clean with mild soap only. Perform periodic inspections to ensure all hardware remains tight.
