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 agains t 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 Ford Excursion, F-250 Super Duty and F-350 Super Duty (see application info to verify fitment).

The manual does not mention disconnecting the battery. No electrical work is involved in the installation.
1. Locate the two mounting points underneath the vehicle on the driver side. 2. Place the front driver-side bracket with the cradle facing the rear of the vehicle. 3. Secure the top of the bracket with two clip nuts in the rectangular slots and two M8 hex bolts, lock washers and flat washers (snug but do not fully tighten). 4. Secure the lower mounting points with two M8 bolts, four flat washers, two lock washers and two hex nuts. 5. Repeat for the rear driver-side bracket. 6. Place the driver-side bar onto the brackets and align the mounting points. 7. Secure the bar to the brackets using M10 hex bolts, lock washers and flat washers at each mounting point (snug but do not fully tighten). 8. Adjust and level the side bar. 9. Tighten all driver-side bracket fasteners to the vehicle first, then tighten the side bar connections. 10. Repeat steps 1–9 on the passenger side.
Snugging the hardware allows you to adjust and level the side bar before final tightening. The manual recommends tightening all brackets to the vehicle first, followed by the side bar connections, to ensure proper alignment and level.
The cradle of each mounting bracket must face the rear of the vehicle. This orientation is critical for proper alignment of the side bars.
Two clip nuts are inserted into the rectangular slots, and two M8 hex bolts with lock washers and flat washers are used to secure the top of the bracket. These should be snugged but not fully tightened until the final assembly step.
Two M8 bolts, four flat washers, two lock washers and two hex nuts are used to secure the lower mounting points of each bracket.
One M10 hex bolt, one lock washer and one flat washer are used at each mounting point where the side bar connects to the brackets. These should be snugged but not fully tightened until the bar is adjusted and leveled.
M10 bolts are torqued to 16 ft.-lbs. These bolts secure the side bars to the mounting brackets.
M8 bolts are torqued to 7 ft.-lbs. These bolts secure the mounting brackets to the vehicle.
Use only wax that does not contain abrasives, as abrasive products can damage the finish. For gloss black finishes, mild soap may be used to clean the product. Regular waxing is recommended to add a protective layer over the finish.
Periodic inspections should be performed to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight. The manual does not specify an exact interval, but regular checks are recommended to maintain safety and prevent loosening over time.
The manual recommends periodic inspections to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight but does not specify a retorque interval. It is good practice to check fastener tightness after the first few hundred miles of driving.
