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. This set of side bars is constructed from 304 stainless steel, meaning high nickel content to be truly stainless. They easily resist rust and corrosion and feature a highly polished finish that is made to last. 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 (NOTE: This set of side bars is compatible with DEF tank models). 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 S224045-2 4-Inch Oval Polished Stainless Steel Nerf Bars, Select Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra 1500, 2500, 3500 HD (Part #BBDRS224045-2) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The ARIES S224045-2 is a 4" oval side bar system designed to mount to the side of a vehicle using the factory mounting tabs along the bottom edge of the body. It consists of a driver-side bar and a passenger-side bar that attach via universal and vehicle-specific mounting brackets.
The S224045-2 is designed for vehicles with five mounting tabs along the bottom edge of the body panel. The manual does not specify which vehicle makes and models are compatible. Contact ARIES Automotive at 877.287.8634 or visit ariesautomotive.com to confirm fitment for your specific vehicle.
If your vehicle has a DEF tank, you will not be able to insert the M8 hardware on the front upper bracket on the passenger side. The manual notes this limitation but does not specify whether the installation can proceed with alternative hardware or whether the passenger-side front upper bracket must be omitted. Contact ARIES Automotive at 877.287.8634 for guidance on DEF tank-equipped vehicles.
You will need: a ratchet, 16mm socket, 16mm wrench, 13mm socket, and a bubble level. The level is essential to ensure the side bars are level and parallel with the vehicle before final tightening.
The kit includes: 1 driver-side bar, 1 passenger-side bar, 6 universal mounting brackets, 2 passenger front upper brackets, 2 passenger front lower brackets, 14 M8 clip nuts, 14 M8 hex bolts (25mm), 14 M8 flat washers, 14 M8 lock washers, 18 M10 hex bolts (30mm), 18 M10 flat washers, and 18 M10 lock washers.
The manual requires removal of a rubber plug from the access hole at the fourth mounting tab location (Step 5). No other factory parts removal is mentioned. However, the manual does not detail whether any trim, bumpers, steps, or other components must be removed for access.
The manual does not mention drilling, cutting, grinding, welding, or any permanent modifications to the vehicle. All mounting uses existing factory mounting tabs and threaded holes.
1. Install four universal mounting brackets on the driver side using the first, second, fourth and fifth mounting tabs (Steps 2–6). 2. Attach the driver-side bar to these brackets (Steps 7–8). 3. Level and tighten all driver-side hardware (Step 9). 4. Install two passenger-side front mounting brackets (Step 10). 5. Repeat the process on the passenger side for the remaining brackets and bar (Step 11). Always snug hardware before final tightening, and use a level to ensure the bars are level and parallel with the vehicle.
Snugging hardware allows you to position and align all components before final tightening. This ensures the side bars are level and parallel with the vehicle (checked in Step 9) and that all mounting holes align correctly. Once alignment is confirmed, all hardware is then fully tightened to the specified torque values.
At each mounting tab location, rotate the bottom of the bracket to the side to expose the hole in the mounting tab. Slide an M8 clip nut over the mounting tab, then rotate the bracket back into position. Secure the bracket with an M8 hex bolt, lock washer and flat washer. For the fourth and fifth mounting tabs, insert the clip nut through the access hole and align it over the adjacent small hole before securing with the bolt.
Each side bar is attached to the mounting brackets using eight M10 hex bolts, lock washers and flat washers (Step 8).
Ensure that all brackets have been installed in the correct locations and that the correct side bar is being used (driver-side bar on the driver side, passenger-side bar on the passenger side). Verify bracket positions before proceeding.
M8 bolts should be torqued to 7 ft.-lbs., unless otherwise noted in the installation steps.
M10 bolts should be torqued to 16 ft.-lbs., unless otherwise noted. However, Step 10 specifies that all M10 hardware connecting the passenger front mounting brackets should be torqued to 31.6 ft.-lbs., which overrides the standard specification for those specific bolts.
The vehicle must be on level ground so that you can use a bubble level to accurately check that the side bars are level and parallel with the side of the vehicle (Step 9). This ensures proper alignment and appearance of the installed product.
Use mild automotive detergent and water. Do not use dish detergent, abrasive cleaners, abrasive pads, wire brushes or similar products that may damage the finish.
Wax the product after installation. Regular waxing is recommended to add a protective layer over the finish. Do not use any type of polish or wax that may contain abrasives that could damage the finish. For polished, gloss and other smooth finishes, polish may be used to clear small scratches and scuffs. Avoid abrasive cleaners, pads and wire brushes.
After installation, periodic inspections should be performed to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight. The manual does not specify the inspection interval. Verify that the side bars are level and parallel with the vehicle, and check that all bolts are torqued to specification.
You need a ratchet, 16mm socket, 16mm wrench, 13mm socket, and a bubble level. No power tools or special equipment are required.
No. The system uses existing factory mounting tabs and threaded holes. Only a rubber plug must be removed from the access hole at one location.
M8 bolts: 7 ft.-lbs. M10 bolts: 16 ft.-lbs., except passenger front mounting brackets which are torqued to 31.6 ft.-lbs.
Wax after installation and regularly thereafter. Use only mild automotive detergent for cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners, pads, wire brushes and abrasive waxes.
Perform periodic inspections to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight. Wax regularly to protect the finish. Use only mild automotive detergent for cleaning.
