When you start and end your day turning the ignition of your truck, unreliable footing just is not an option. 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 finish options: polished stainless steel and black powder coat carbon steel. 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 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: Certain Ram 1500 models built during or after June 2015 require retro kit #4513. These nerf bars fit select model years of the Ram 1500 and Dodge Ram 1500 (see application info to verify fitment).

The manual notes that extra hardware is included for different models and years; verify which fasteners apply to your vehicle.
No. All fasteners required for installation are included in the kit. The manual notes that extra hardware is provided for different models and years, so some fasteners may not be used on your specific vehicle.
No drilling is required. The installation uses factory oval holes that are already present in the inner body panels at the front and rear of both sides. These holes are covered with tape from the factory and must be uncovered during installation.
Yes. You must remove factory body bolts and washers at the front mounting location on each side (these are not reused). At the rear, you must remove factory body bolts, isolators, and washers (also not reused). All other factory components remain in place.
Installation follows this sequence: (1) Start with the passenger/right side front, uncovering the factory oval hole and installing the bolt plate with plastic retainer. (2) Install the front brace bracket onto the bolt plate. (3) Remove the factory front body bolt and install the front mounting bracket. (4) Connect the front brace bracket to the front mounting bracket. (5) Repeat steps 1–4 for the rear. (6) Attach the passenger sidebar to both front and rear mounting brackets. (7) Repeat the entire process for the driver/left side. (8) Level and align the sidebars, then tighten all hardware.
No. The manual specifies to snug but not tighten hardware at multiple stages: when installing brace brackets to bolt plates, when installing mounting brackets, and when attaching the sidebar to mounting brackets. Only after the sidebar is leveled and aligned should all hardware be fully tightened.
Thread a plastic retainer onto the threaded end of the bolt plate. Insert the bolt plate into the factory oval hole. Hold the bolt end with one hand and tighten the plastic retainer with your other hand until it reaches the side panel. Do not over-tighten.

The front mounting bracket is secured with: (1) × 12mm × 120mm hex bolt, (1) × 12mm × 44mm OD flat washer, and (1) × 12mm lock washer. This fastens the bracket to the factory body bolt location. Snug but do not fully tighten until final alignment.

The rear mounting bracket is secured with: (1) × 12mm × 120mm hex bolt, (1) × 12mm × 44mm OD flat washer, and (1) × 12mm lock washer. This fastens the bracket to the factory rear body bolt location. Snug but do not fully tighten until final alignment.
The rear brace bracket is attached to the rear mounting bracket using: (1) × 10mm × 30mm hex bolt, (2) × 10mm × 30mm OD flat washers, (1) × 10mm lock washer, and (1) × 10mm hex nut. Snug but do not fully tighten until final alignment.
