The ARIES AdvantEDGE bull bar sets itself apart with a modern, angular design and all-aluminum construction. It features a track system for mounting auxiliary lights, vehicle-specific mounting brackets and is available in two finish options, allowing you to choose the look that perfectly matches your vehicle. Designed to complement the style of today's pickup trucks, the AdvantEDGE bull bar is as bold as it is tough. Instead of the common, rounded frame of most bull bars and grille guards, AdvantEDGE features a unique, 5-1/2" wide, eight-sided tube profile. Not only does the angled frame better accent the design of modern trucks, but it also offers a strong build. Like the AdvantEDGE headache rack and AdvantEDGE side bars, the AdvantEDGE bull bar is made entirely from aluminum, allowing it to be lightweight and rust-free. The tubular frame is also protected by a durable finish of carbide black powder coat or chrome powder coat. Each AdvantEDGE bull bar is fitted with a textured black aluminum cover plate on the crossbar, making it even more unique. The crossbar can be flipped to expose a track system for mounting LED light bars, work lights or other aftermarket lighting options. It is also available with integrated, flush-mount LED lights. Because each application is made for a custom fit, installation of the AdvantEDGE bull bar is simple and secure. It uses a track mounting system and vehicle-specific brackets to bolt onto pre-existing factory holes in the vehicle's frame. This speeds up installation and offers maximum rigidity. This particular AdvantEDGE bull bar is designed to fit specific years of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500 HD and 3500 HD (see application info to verify fitment). The AdvantEDGE bull bar is made to complement our AdvantEDGE side bars and AdvantEDGE headache rack, giving you a complete look for your truck and a style unlike any other.

The ARIES AdvantEDGE 5-1/2" Black Aluminum Bull Bar, Select Silverado, Sierra 2500, 3500 Brush Guard (Part #BBDR2164003) fits the following vehicles: 2020-2023 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD; 2020-2023 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD; 2020-2023 GMC Sierra 2500 HD; 2020-2023 GMC Sierra 3500 HD. Always verify your specific year, make, and model before ordering.
The ARIES AdvantEDGE 5-1/2" Black Aluminum Bull Bar, Select Silverado, Sierra 2500, 3500 Brush Guard (Part #BBDR2164003) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The kit includes one bull bar, driver and passenger mounting brackets, four M8 hex bolts with flat washers and nylock nuts, four M12 bolt plates with flat washers and nylock nuts, and an LED wiring harness (only with LED-equipped models). Tools required but not included are a ratchet, extension, level, wrench set, and socket set.
Yes, the bull bar is designed for both Chevrolet and GMC vehicles. However, the mounting bracket installation differs between the two: Chevrolet brackets mount inside the frame to the outboard wall with flanges bent in, while GMC brackets mount inside the frame to the inboard wall with flanges bent out. Confirm your vehicle model is compatible before purchasing.
You will need a ratchet, extension, level, wrench set, and socket set. A level is essential to ensure the bull bar is properly aligned during installation.
Only if your vehicle has tow hooks. The manual states: 'For vehicles without tow hooks, skip to step 2. Remove and set aside the driver-side and passenger-side tow hooks.' If your vehicle is equipped with tow hooks, remove and set them aside before proceeding with bracket installation.
Yes. Step 4 explicitly states 'With help, lift the bull bar into place and align the bolts into the mounting brackets.' At least one additional person is required to safely lift and position the bull bar.
1. Remove tow hooks if present (Step 1). 2. Install driver and passenger mounting brackets using M12 hardware, snugged but not fully tightened (Step 2). 3. Lay the bull bar on a flat surface and insert M8 hex bolts into the appropriate rail slot—inner slot for GMC, outer slot for Chevrolet (Step 3). 4. With help, lift the bull bar into place and secure to brackets with M8 washers and locking nuts, snugged but not fully tightened (Step 4). 5. Level and adjust the bull bar, then tighten all hardware to torque specifications (Step 5). 6. If equipped with LED lights, install the switch and wire harness (Steps 6–7). 7. Perform periodic inspections to ensure hardware remains tight (Step 8).
Snugging the hardware allows you to adjust and level the bull bar before final tightening. Once the bull bar is level and properly positioned, all hardware is then tightened to the specified torque values. This ensures correct alignment and prevents over-tightening before the final position is confirmed.
M8 bolts must be tightened to 7 ft-lbs. This applies to the bolts securing the bull bar to the mounting brackets.
M12 bolts must be tightened to 28 ft-lbs. This applies to the bolts securing the mounting brackets to the vehicle frame.
No. The LED wiring harness is only included with LED-equipped models. If your bull bar does not have LED lights, the wiring harness will not be included, and you can skip the wiring steps (Steps 6–7).
1. Disconnect the supplied switch from the wire harness and install it in your desired location. 2. Route the wire harness to the LED lights and switch. 3. Reconnect the blue, red, and black spade connectors to the switch as shown in the diagram; the black wire connects to the gold switch terminal. 4. Plug the male connector on the wire harness into the female connector attached to the LED lights. 5. Mount the supplied relay to the vehicle and secure all wires with zip ties away from moving parts. 6. Test the lights to ensure proper function.
Connect the red fused wire with the ring terminal to the positive battery post. Connect the black wire ring terminal to the negative battery post or another suitable vehicle ground point. Mount the supplied relay to the vehicle and secure all wires with zip ties away from moving parts to avoid damage.
If the LED lights are being used with a 24V system, the 12V relay included in the kit will need to be replaced with a 24V unit. This is a required modification to ensure the lights operate safely and correctly on a 24V system.
Route the wire harness away from moving parts and secure all wires with zip ties. This prevents the wires from being damaged by engine components, belts, or other moving parts during vehicle operation.
After installation, test the LED lights (if equipped) to ensure proper function. Perform periodic inspections to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight. Wax the bull bar after installation to protect the finish, and continue regular waxing as recommended.
Wax the bull bar after installing and regularly thereafter to add a protective layer over the finish. For polished, gloss and other smooth finishes, polish may be used to clear small scratches and scuffs. Clean the product with mild automotive detergent only. Do not use dish detergent, abrasive cleaners, abrasive pads, wire brushes or other similar products, as these may damage the finish. Do not use any type of polish or wax that may contain abrasives.
Avoid dish detergent, abrasive cleaners, abrasive pads, wire brushes, and any polish or wax containing abrasives, as these may damage the finish. Use only mild automotive detergent for cleaning.

Mounting bracket installation differs between brands: Chevrolet brackets mount to the outboard wall with flanges bent in; GMC brackets mount to the inboard wall with flanges bent out. Confirm your specific vehicle model is compatible before purchasing.
