ARIES S223041-2 2011 EXPLORER SS OVAL TUBES

Very nice product, better then expected. Got the power coated because I'm not into polishing chrome any more then nessary. Great paint job,solid rubber foot pads.Really suprised that the end caps were solid welded on metal end caps, not push on plastic ones. Very easy to install. No holes to drill, none to thread. Used factory holes and anchors. One sugestion, if you are installing these on an older truck, run a tap in the anchors to remove any rust and dirt that may be in them. This produce was nicely thought out, to use the factory holes and anchors to install. I'm looking forward to buying other products that use factory holes to mount them.

Ford ones I took off were good quality but wanted wheel to wheel to access bed of pickup so bought these. These look great but give a little too much when u step on them because they have only two attachment points instead of three like the factory Ford ones that were shorter. e. Engineers need to fix this! Good thing I'm a welder because I'm going to beef up the two attachment points with some 1/4 "by 1" strap, and bolt on of course so I won't ruin stainless steel finish! Should send with three attachment points and make them a little beefier!

Very strong, solid contruction. Myself at 233 lbs and a buddy at 190 lbs on one bar together and no give what- soever. They look great! Even with these being my second set on a different vehicle, they took a bit to figure out due to crappy instructions. Once you get what bracket goes where the installation becomes a breeze. Would by them again!

Product is a "5" out of 5 stars. Lost 1 star on overall rating for received washer, nut and bolt components not matching packaged component list; but everything worked. Install took a little longer due to making sure every component would work before contacting manufacturer about discrepancy. Totally satisfied!

Love my new wheel to wheel looks great, price is great. Installing was a pain in the butt, but once you do the first, the second get easier. Poor Installation instructions ...plus I have an 07 Ram, so that's what I ordered... I got a set that said 2010 and up when I install them they were not level with the body I had to take them back off install a bunch of washers to level it out... other than that love them!

installations instructions are horrible. Nerf bars have gooten comments from other drivers on the road. the questions those look cool, were did you get them.

I ordered the Aires 4" Oval Nerf Bars for my 2010 Ford F150 Super Crew Cab pick up. The bars were delivered in a timely manner. The box it was shipped in was damaged, ripped in half and part of it missing. If I needed to return them for some reason I would not have been able to use the original box. The bars themselves were not damaged. The acutal bars did not take long to install on my truck approx 40 minutes. The directions were a little sketchy but they were easy to mount up despite the directions. The only issue were the bottom bolts, all 8, that connect the mounting brackets to the truck. The bolts did not go in straight and were at a slight angle. The bolt heads did not sit flush when tightened down. The nerf bars look good on the truck. Functionally, they work well too.

These bars are good quality. Once mounted they are sturdy.They sit close to the truck. The instructions are a little vague but they get the job done.I had to buy some SAE washers to fit some of the bolts properly.That could just be me being picky.Looks liked they were made in Canada. Good job Canada.

These bars were chosen after weeks of comparing the looks and cost of as many different brands as possible. These bars give my 2011 Silverado the look that I wanted and are very good quality pieces for the price.Installation was fairly simple but I suggest looking at the Aries website for the instructions as they are easier to see aand make sense out of. I have no complaints on these bars, but as for REALTRUCK,that is another story! I was notified on the day of my order that the bars were in stock at one of there other warehouse sites and that the order would be transferred. It took four days for this to happen and the order was finally shipped on the fifth day.In my opinion, with todays technology and compared to all the other online companies that I have done business with, this is not satisfactory. I may order from them again but it will be as a last resort.

Easy to install but low quality for the money. Don't think plastic step will last very long
