Side bars on your truck or SUV are not just to make it look pretty. When we imagined the ARIES 3 In. side bar, we wanted it to be more than a decal for your vehicle; we wanted something that would offer a solid place to plant your foot. That is why ARIES 3 In. round side bars are vehicle-specific and made with quality materials. Our 3 In. side bars are made from steel and come in 304 polished stainless steel or semi-gloss black powder coat carbon steel. Our 304 stainless steel is a true stainless with high nickel content, offering better corrosion resistance and a long-lasting finish. To give our carbon steel side bars an added edge, each unit goes through an E-coat process, before receiving its black powder coat, to strengthen and protect the final finish against peeling, chipping and scratching. ARIES 3 In. round side bars come with carbon steel brackets and an anti-skid step pad. The mounting brackets are strong and custom-designed for specific makes and models to allow the side bar to contour to the lines of your vehicle. They offer easy installation and the strength necessary to provide sound footing. The ARIES 3 In. round side bar also comes with a non-skid step pad made of polypropylene. This wide step pad features a textured pattern and covers a wide portion of the rail to be more comfortable and easier to stand on. Give yourself a sure step every time you climb into your truck with ARIES 3 In. round side bars.
