For the conqueror in every truck, Jeep or SUV owner, the ARIES grille guard offers the tough, trail-ready look you demand. It begins with a one-piece frame of 1/4" thick welded plates and 1-1/2" mandrel-bent tubing for a solid build. Each one is made with a vehicle-specific design for a better fit, easier install and more secure mounting. The side brush guards are custom-bent to contour to the profile of your vehicle, while the mounting brackets are positioned for a no-drill application. This means pre-existing factory holes are used to ensure optimum fitment and less vibration. This particular custom grille guard fits specific years of the Chevy C1500, C2500, C3500, K1500, K2500, K3500 Suburban or Tahoe and GMC C1500, C2500, C3500, K1500, K2500, K3500 or Yukon (see application info to verify). The ARIES grille guard also makes it easy to customize the look of your vehicle. Not only does the crossbar have two pre-drilled holes for mounting aftermarket LED lights, but many of our grille guards are also available in two finish options -- polished stainless steel or semi-gloss black steel. The stainless steel grille guard is made with 304 stainless, being high in nickel content and truly resistant to rust and corrosion. This option comes with a mirror-like polished finish for a definitive shine. The semi-gloss black grille guard is made with high-strength carbon steel for added strength. It features a tough, dual-layer E-coat and black powder coat finish to protect against rust, scratches and the elements. All ARIES grille guards also come with rubber stripping along the risers to protect the frame against scuffs and scratches.

The ARIES Black Steel Grille Guard, Select Chevrolet, GMC C, K, Suburban, Tahoe, Yukon Grille Guard (Part #BBDR4042) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The Curt 4042 front Aries bar fits Chevrolet and GMC vehicles from 1988–1998 Pick Up, 1992–1999 Suburban, 1995–1999 Tahoe, and 1995–1999 Yukon. Verify your vehicle year and model against this list before purchasing.
The kit includes: (1) front Aries bar, (2) frame brackets, (2) brace brackets, (6) 7/16" × 1¼" hex bolts, (6) 7/16" hex nuts, (12) 7/16" flat washers, (4) ¼" × 1 cap screws, and (4) ¼" nylock nuts. All fasteners needed for installation are provided.
Yes. The factory tow hooks must be removed from the front of the vehicle. The bolts that held the tow hooks in place (two bolts per hook) are then reused to attach the mounting brackets.
Yes, the front bumper must be temporarily removed and lowered during installation. You need to remove 3 bumper mounting bolts from the front of the frame and 2 side support bracket bolts from each side to access the upper bumper bolts for positioning the brace brackets. The bumper is then repositioned and tightened.
Install in this order: (1) Remove tow hooks and attach frame brackets using the original tow hook bolts, leaving them loose for adjustment. (2) Remove bumper mounting and side support bolts, lower the bumper, and position the brace brackets—the large hole aligns with the upper bumper bolt and the small hole aligns with the middle plate of the front bar. (3) Replace the bumper and position the brace bracket. (4) Attach the front bar to the frame mounting brackets using 7/16" hex bolts, nuts and washers, leaving loose for adjustment. (5) Adjust all bracket bolts and tighten.
No. The manual states: "Don't fasten too tightly to allow for adjustment." Both the frame bracket bolts and the front bar bolts should be left loose initially to allow for proper alignment and adjustment before final tightening.
Line up the 3 holes on the lower portion of the front bar with the 3 holes on the frame mounting brackets at the outer edge. Use the 7/16" hex bolts, nuts and washers to fasten the front bar to the mounting brackets, leaving loose for adjustment until all components are properly positioned.
The brace brackets are attached using (4) ¼" × 1 cap screws and (4) ¼" nylock nuts. The large hole of the top bracket aligns with the upper bumper bolt, and the small hole aligns with the middle plate of the front bar.
Re-check all fasteners for tightness after one week of use. This allows time for any settling and ensures all bolts remain secure.
The Curt 4042 fits Chevrolet and GMC 1988–1998 Pick Up, 1992–1999 Suburban, 1995–1999 Tahoe, and 1995–1999 Yukon.
Yes. Factory tow hooks must be removed, and the front bumper must be temporarily removed and lowered to access mounting points for the brace brackets.
No. Leave all bolts loose initially to allow for adjustment. Tighten them fully only after all components are properly aligned.
Re-check all fasteners for tightness after one week of use.
