    Product Details

    Ram 1500 2012, 5.5" AdvantEDGE™ Cab Length Black Powder Coat Side Bars by Aries®, 1 Pair. Material: Aluminum. AdvantEDGE™ side bars boast a fresh look for the modern truck or SUV and are made with all-aluminum construction to be strong, lightweight and rust-free. They are completely free of plastic parts, featuring die-cast aluminum end caps and a stamped aluminum tread that will never crack or fade.

    With an octagonal tube profile and all-aluminum construction
    ARIES AdvantEDGE™ side bars do away with the common, rounded look of other side bars and nerf bars, featuring an eight-sided tube profile, an angular design and an all-aluminum construction. They use a universal track mounting system with vehicle-specific brackets for a faster, more secure installation, and they are available in two different finish options, giving you total freedom of customization.

    Unique, all-aluminum design
    The mark of the ARIES AdvantEDGE™ series is its unique design. The angular edges provide a clear-cut, uncompromising accent for the look of today's trucks. Made from 5 1/2" wide, eight-sided, extruded aluminum tubing, AdvantEDGE™ side bars are strong, lightweight and impervious to rust, offering a solid step that is built to face the elements and outlast them. They also come with die-cast aluminum end caps and a stamped aluminum tread. The aluminum treads provide a long-lasting, non-skid stepping surface and will not crack or fade in the sun.

    Universal track mounting system
    ARIES AdvantEDGE™ side bars are also marked for their easy, custom-fit installation. They feature a universal track mounting system with brackets that are made in the USA and built for specific vehicles. The high-strength steel brackets mount using preexisting holes, and the side bars attach to the brackets, using heavy-duty hardware and an 8mm channel. This ensures a solid mount and makes installation fast and secure. AdvantEDGE™ side bars come in four different lengths, including 53", 75", 85" and 91", to fit a wide variety of makes and models.

    Complete series in two finishes
    Setting yourself apart is simple with the ARIES AdvantEDGE™ series. In addition to AdvantEDGE™ side bars, Aries also offer the AdvantEDGE™ bull bar and AdvantEDGE™ headache rack, featuring the same all-aluminum construction and eight-sided tube profile. ARIES AdvantEDGE™ side bars are available in two possible finishes, including a carbide black powder coat or chrome powder coat.

    Great Product
    Bought these with the bull bars. Took me less then a hour to install by myself, very easy to install and they look mean. The paint chipped from I don't know what but I'm getting them powder coated so I'm not to worried. Other then that they are head turners.

    Good Boards But Sporadic Functioning Triggers
    These are really neat boards and work well, when working. The door triggers (magnet sensors) work somewhat sporadically. About 25% of the time, one can get stuck in the open or down position. When this happens, you have to reset the brain module by flipping a switch you install in the dash, however, not all the time does that reset it. Sometimes you will stand there outside of your car flipping that switch a few times until is resets and pulls back up. I've talked to the manufacturer a few times now, and I've replaced the sensors a few times, but really what it comes down to is the sensors are not the most optimal. They need a redesigned trigger or something that isn't so flakey. I'm getting a new set of triggers and will try one more time, but for the money paid, you should not be having this issue as often as I do, if not at all. I'm a little bummed, as I really like them, but we shall see. Others purchasing this product need to be aware of this issue, and the more that Aries is aware, maybe they will implement a better solution.

    Decent Set of Steps.
    Overall this is a decent set of steps and I would buy again. Install was a breeze. The only reason I did not give a five-star was that some of the hardware bolts provided did not fit the factory holes. Some minor drilling needed or do what I did and just reuse a factory bolt if you have it. The other thing that confused me that led to a three-star versus a five-star was that the steps each came with three mounting adjustable brackets. However the hardware kit that attaches the step to the truck only came with two. So there's a leftover set of bracket slides for the steps. My particular truck (single cab long bed) didn't need the third bracket however would have been nice since the steps included it and the truck had a mounting point for it. I am sure that particular mounting point on my truck is for Crew cabs or extended cabs these steps did not require three mounting points just would have been nice.

    Good Quality
    Really happy with these boards now that they're on. They look great and retract smoothly. My wife and kids can get into the truck so much easier now.

    Very convenient
    These steps are a great upgrade, they look great and make it so much easier to get in, especially for my wife and kids. Perfect for my lifted 16 Silverado 1500. The sensors work flawlessly.

    Great Boards
    Nice addition for lifted trucks like mine! I really like the step-within-a-step design, makes getting in and out so much easier. The lights come on when you open the door, nice for night time. Overall, really happy with this upgrade!
