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 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 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: 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).

Part number 225017 and 225017-2 are designed for 2009-12 Dodge Ram Quad Cab 1500 models. The manual does not specify whether these parts fit other cab styles (Regular Cab, Crew Cab) or other model years. Verify your vehicle's cab style and year before purchasing.
The manual specifies this sidebar is for Quad Cab 1500 models only. The manual does not confirm fitment for Regular Cab, Crew Cab, or other body styles. Contact the manufacturer or a fitment database to confirm compatibility with other cab configurations.
The kit includes: 1 driver/left side bar, 1 passenger/right side bar, 2 front mounting brackets, 2 rear mounting brackets, 4 front brace brackets, 4 rear brace brackets, 4 plastic square retainers, 4 bolts (12mm x 120mm hex), 4 washers (12mm x 44 OD flat), 4 lock washers (12mm), 12 washers (10mm x 30 OD flat), 12 lock washers (10mm), 4 bolt plates (10mm x 35mm), 8 hex nuts (10mm), 12 bolts (10mm x 30mm hex), and 8 washers (10mm x 24 OD flat). The manual notes that extra hardware is included for different models and years; verify which fasteners apply to your vehicle.
Yes. You must remove the factory body bolts and washers at the front mounting location and the factory body bolt, isolator, and washer at the rear mounting location. These factory fasteners are not re-used and must be discarded. You will also need to remove tape covering the factory oval holes in the inner body panels at both front and rear locations.
Yes. The manual indicates that factory oval holes are present in the inner body panels at the front and rear locations on the passenger and driver sides. These holes are covered with tape from the factory and must be uncovered during installation.
Installation follows this sequence: (1) Remove tape from passenger/right front factory oval hole and install bolt plate with plastic retainer; (2) Install passenger/right front brace bracket onto bolt plate (snug only); (3) Remove factory front body bolt and install passenger/right front mounting bracket, then secure brace bracket to mounting bracket (snug only); (4) Repeat steps 1-3 for passenger/right rear location; (5) Attach passenger/right sidebar to front and rear mounting brackets (snug only); (6) Repeat entire process for driver/left side; (7) Level and align sidebar, then tighten all hardware.
Thread a plastic retainer onto the threaded end of a 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.
Do not tighten any hardware until the sidebar is leveled and aligned. All fasteners should be snugged (hand-tight) during initial assembly. Only after the sidebar is properly leveled and aligned should all hardware be fully tightened in step 13.
The front brace bracket is secured to the bolt plate with: (1) 10mm x 30 OD flat washer, (1) 10mm lock washer, and (1) 10mm hex nut. Snug but do not tighten until final alignment.
The front mounting bracket is secured with: (1) 12mm x 120mm hex bolt, (1) 12mm x 44 OD flat washer, and (1) 12mm lock washer. This replaces the factory front body bolt. Snug but do not tighten until final alignment.
The front brace bracket is attached to the front mounting bracket with: (1) 10mm x 30mm hex bolt, (2) 10mm x 30 OD flat washers, (1) 10mm lock washer, and (1) 10mm hex nut. Snug but do not tighten until final alignment.
The rear brace bracket is secured to the bolt plate with: (1) 10mm x 30 OD flat washer, (1) 10mm lock washer, and (1) 10mm hex nut. Snug but do not tighten until final alignment.
The rear mounting bracket is secured with: (1) 12mm x 120mm hex bolt, (1) 12mm x 44 OD flat washer, and (1) 12mm lock washer. This replaces the factory rear body bolt and isolator. Snug but do not tighten until final alignment.
The rear brace bracket is attached to the rear mounting bracket with: (1) 10mm x 30mm hex bolt, (2) 10mm x 30 OD flat washers, (1) 10mm lock washer, and (1) 10mm hex nut. Snug but do not tighten until final alignment.
Each sidebar is fastened to the front and rear mounting brackets with: (2) 10mm x 30mm hex bolts, (2) 10mm lock washers, and (2) 10mm x 24 OD flat washers. Do not tighten until the sidebar is leveled and aligned.
Wax the product after installing to protect the finish. Regular waxing is recommended to add a protective layer. Do not use any polish or wax containing abrasives, as these can damage the finish. For stainless steel, aluminum polish may be used to polish small scratches and scuffs, and mild soap may be used to clean. For gloss black finishes, use only mild soap to clean. Perform periodic inspections to ensure all hardware remains secure and tight.
The manual recommends periodic inspections to ensure all hardware is secure and tight. No specific inspection interval is provided. Establish a regular maintenance schedule to verify fastener tightness and overall installation integrity.
Yes, part numbers 225017 and 225017-2 are designed for 2009-12 Dodge Ram Quad Cab 1500 models. Verify your cab style before purchasing, as fitment for other cab types is not confirmed in the manual.
Yes. You must remove and discard the factory body bolts and washers at the front and rear mounting locations, plus the factory rear isolator. Factory oval holes are pre-drilled and covered with tape; no drilling is required.
Snug all fasteners during assembly but do not fully tighten until the sidebar is leveled and aligned. Tighten all hardware in step 13 after alignment is complete.
The manual does not provide torque specifications for any fasteners (12mm or 10mm bolts). Contact Curt Manufacturing or consult a professional installer for recommended torque values.
The manual does not explicitly list required tools. Based on the fastener types (hex bolts, nuts, washers), you will likely need wrenches or sockets for 10mm and 12mm fasteners, but the manual does not confirm this.
Wax after installation and regularly thereafter. Do not use abrasive polish or wax. For stainless steel, aluminum polish may be used on scratches; for gloss black, use mild soap only. Perform periodic inspections to ensure all hardware remains tight.
