Step 1 Starting on the driver side of the vehicle, locate the three mounting locations along the rocker panel. This installation will use the front and rear mounting locations. The mounting brackets are specific to a front or rear mounting location. When mounting the brackets have the cradle facing towards the middle of the truck for proper placement. Step 2 Starting at the front of the driver side, remove the factory tape covering the mounting holes. On the inner rocker panel, insert a 10mm clip-nut onto each mounting location. Step 3 Attach the top of the bracket by threading two 10mm hex bolts and flat washers into the 10mm clip nuts from step 2. Insert a 10mm hex bolt and flat washer into the bottom mounting holes and secure with a second flat washer and nylock nut. Snug the hardware, but do not fully tighten. Step 4 Repeat steps 1 through 3 for installing the rear mounting bracket.

Step 5 To determine the front of a side bar, the measurement from the end of the side bar to the center of the rivet nut should be 15 1/2". Step 6 Carefully mount the driver side bar into place. Attach the side bar to the mounting bracket using a 10mm button head bolt and flat washer. Snug the hardware, but do not fully tighten. Step 7 Finish the passenger side bar installation by repeating the installation process used on steps 5 and 6 on the driver side. Level and adjust the side bars to the desired position and tighten all hardware. Step 8 Congratulations on the installation of your new ARIES 3" round side bars. With the side bars installed, periodic inspections should be performed to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight.
