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 Ford F-150 (see application info to verify fitment).

Clip nuts are M10 fasteners that slide into the factory mounting holes in the rocker panel. They may need to be squeezed together slightly to prevent them from falling into the holes. They hold the mounting brackets in place before the bolts are fully tightened.
No. The instructions specify to snug but not tighten hardware at each stage of installation. Only after you level and adjust the side bar should you tighten all hardware.
Install the driver side bar first: attach the front mounting bracket to clip nuts, then to the drip rail; attach the rear mounting bracket to clip nuts, then to the drip rail; position and attach the driver side bar to both brackets; level and adjust, then tighten all hardware. Repeat the same sequence for the passenger side bar.
Install one side bar completely before starting the other. The instructions direct you to complete steps 2 through 7 for the driver side, then repeat those same steps for the passenger side.
Wax the product after installing to protect the finish. Regular waxing is recommended. Do not use polish or wax containing abrasives, as these can damage the finish. For stainless steel, aluminum polish may be used on small scratches and scuffs, and mild soap may be used for cleaning. For gloss black finishes, use only mild soap for cleaning.
Perform periodic inspections to ensure all hardware is secure and tight. The manual does not specify the inspection interval, but recommends checking regularly to maintain the installation.
