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 for 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. 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 Ram 1500 (see application info to verify fitment).

The ARIES S225044 4-Inch Oval Black Steel Nerf Bars, Select Ram 1500 (Part #BBDRS225044) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The S225044 kit includes: 1 driver-side (left) running board, 1 passenger-side (right) running board, 6 universal mounting brackets, 12 M10 hex bolts, 12 M10 flat washers, 12 M10 lock washers, 18 M8 nylock nuts, and 18 M8 flat washers.
The manual does not specify which vehicle models or years are compatible with the S225044. The product is described as universal and requires three factory mounting tabs along the bottom edge of the vehicle on both driver and passenger sides. Contact ARIES Automotive at 877-287-8634 or check the product listing for vehicle-specific fitment information.
Yes. The installation requires three factory mounting tabs along the bottom edge of the vehicle on both the driver and passenger sides. The mounting brackets attach to these existing tabs using factory studs. If your vehicle does not have these tabs, the S225044 cannot be installed as described in the manual.
You will need: a ratchet, a torque wrench, a socket set, and a level. The manual lists these as required tools. Proper tools will improve the quality of installation and reduce installation time.
The manual does not mention disconnecting the battery. No electrical work is required for this installation.
Yes. The manual states: "Before you begin installation, read all instructions thoroughly." This will help you understand the complete process and avoid mistakes.
1. Locate the three factory mounting tabs along the bottom edge on the driver side. 2. Remove debris from the factory studs at the front mounting location. 3. Attach a mounting bracket using an M8 nylock nut and flat washer; snug but do not fully tighten. 4. Repeat for middle and rear locations. 5. Place the driver-side bar onto the brackets, aligning mounting points so rivet nuts line up. 6. Secure using M10 hex bolts, lock washers, and flat washers at each location; snug but do not fully tighten. 7. Repeat steps 1–6 for the passenger side.
During installation, snug all hardware but do not fully tighten it. The manual instructs to "snug the hardware, but do not fully tighten" at both the bracket-to-stud stage and the side bar-to-bracket stage. This allows for final alignment and adjustment before final torquing.
M10 bolts must be torqued to 16 ft-lbs. This specification applies to the M10 hex bolts that secure the side bars to the mounting brackets.
M8 bolts must be torqued to 7 ft-lbs. This specification applies to the M8 nylock nuts that secure the mounting brackets to the factory studs.
Each mounting bracket is secured to a factory stud using one M8 nylock nut and one M8 flat washer. There are three mounting locations (front, middle, and rear) on each side, requiring a total of 6 M8 nylock nuts and 6 M8 flat washers per side.
Each side bar is secured to the mounting brackets using M10 hex bolts, M10 lock washers, and M10 flat washers. There are three mounting locations (front, middle, and rear) on each side bar, requiring a total of 3 M10 hex bolts, 3 M10 lock washers, and 3 M10 flat washers per side.
Place the side bar onto the mounting brackets and ensure the rivet nuts on the bottom of the side bar line up with the brackets. This alignment is critical before securing the side bar with M10 hex bolts, lock washers, and flat washers.
Yes. The manual instructs to "remove any debris from the factory studs" at each mounting location before attaching the mounting brackets. This ensures proper contact and a secure connection.
The manual does not mention drilling. The installation uses existing factory mounting tabs and studs, so no drilling appears to be required.
The manual does not describe any permanent modifications such as cutting, welding, grinding, or bending. The installation uses factory mounting tabs and studs without modification.
After installation, perform periodic inspections to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight. The manual also recommends protecting the product by waxing it after installation and regularly waxing to add a protective layer over the finish.
Use mild automotive detergent to clean the product. Do not use dish detergent, abrasive cleaners, abrasive pads, wire brushes, or similar products that may damage the finish. Wax the product after installation and regularly thereafter to add a protective layer. For polished, gloss, and other smooth finishes, polish may be used to clear small scratches and scuffs.
No. Do not use any type of polish or wax that may contain abrasives, as these could damage the finish. For polished, gloss, and other smooth finishes, polish without abrasives may be used to clear small scratches and scuffs.
The installation is rated as "Easy" according to the manual.
