Among some of their other features, such as carbon steel construction and custom, non-skid step pads, ARIES 3 inch side bars have a special powder coat and E-coat finish. What's that you're saying to yourself? Who cares? Listen here, pilgrim, this superpower tag team of coatings means better protection against scratches, chipping, salt, UV-rays, moisture and seasonal bear attacks. That means you won't have to worry yourself sick about ruining the finish on your side bars. And that means there is nothing stopping you from taking your truck out any time, day or night, in any kind of weather. Apology accepted.
Product received was as advertised. Its a quality product. Easy to install. Tighten your frame bolts to you dealer's recommended specs.
Exactly what I expected. Cherry! Came with all the necessary parts to install. Installation was easy peasy.
Got this because of the low price to go on my 2011 Silverado extended cab. I put them on in about an hour. They look great and seem sturdy. I recommend these if you want to upgrade your truck. They attach to the inner rail, not the frame.
