      Get easier access into your lifted truck or Jeep

      No-drill brackets and no-splice wiring

      Next-generation power running boards

      ActionTrac™ powered running boards are the next generation of automatic, power running boards. They are unique from other power side steps because they feature a patented step-within-a-step™ design - two steps in one.

      ActionTrac™ running boards also feature no-splice wiring and a no-drill bracket installation on most models, as well as powder-coated aluminum construction, making them the perfect side steps for offroad trucks and Jeeps.

      Key features of ActionTrac™

      •  Step-within-a-step™. The patented two-step design provides easier access, especially on large vehicles.

      Automated, patented step-within-a-step™

      The step-within-a-step™ design of ActionTrac™ powered running boards makes them the perfect lifted truck steps. There is one 4" non-skid step on top of the main housing and one 3" step that deploys automatically as needed.

      When the door opens, the control module deploys the electric step 8" below the top step and up to 15” below the inside of the doorsill, depending on the model. This provides safe, convenient access to the vehicle, especially on larger trucks, Jeeps and SUVs that are built for offroading. It is also ideal for families with young children and for elderly passengers.

      When the door is closed again, these lifted truck steps retract, providing plenty of ground clearance for the offroad trail.

      Benefits of a step-within-a-step™

      •  Shielded components. The housing keeps the foldout step, pivot points and electronics protected from the elements.

      Extra vehicle side protection

      With the innovative step-within-a-step™ design, ActionTrac™ powered running boards offer a uniquely contoured look against the vehicle. Rather than folding up underneath the vehicle, the power steps fold into the housing which provides additional side protection for the vehicle.

      ActionTrac™ running boards contour to the rocker panels, helping to block small stone and other debris kicked up by the tires from scratching and marring the vehicle’s finish. Additionally, when the vehicle is parked, the running boards provide an extra defense against door dings from other vehicles.

      Control module for safety

      Each set of ActionTrac™ powered running boards is equipped with an integrated control module for safe entry and exit. During operation, the control module detects any obstructions in the path of the power step. This immediately pauses operation, eliminating the risk of pinch hazards and avoiding damage to the steps from rocks and other obstacles.

      For additional safety, the main housing has built-in LED lights that illuminate the power step upon deployment, providing convenient visibility in dark conditions.

      Simple-2-install™

      ActionTrac™ powered running boards are designed to offer a custom fit on your truck, SUV or Jeep Wrangler. They install with vehicle-specific brackets and use pre-existing holes in the vehicle to eliminate the need for drilling (some Ram models excluded). Unlike other power side steps, ActionTrac™ retractable running boards also do not require alignment and will not bind during operation.

      ActionTrac™ running boards are also the easiest to install power steps on the market in terms of electrical. They connect directly to the vehicle's battery in a self-contained system that requires no splicing into factory wiring.

      Weatherproof build

      Just like your truck, Jeep or SUV, these power running boards are built for the off-road. They are assembled right here in the USA with extruded 6061-T6 aluminum, making them highly durable, yet lightweight and corrosion-resistant.

      For added protection against corrosion, scratches and marring, they also come with a durable carbide black powder coat finish.

      Maintenance-free operation

      ActionTrac™ powered running boards operate with a single rotary motor, contained within the main housing. This single motor allows the electric steps to remain quiet and maintenance-free, while still offering fast, smooth operation.

      The motor, pivot points and all of the electrical components are shielded within the main housing, keeping them well protected against the elements and ensuring long-lasting reliability.

    • Learn about RidgeStep® Running Boards

      Ready-to-work, all-steel construction

      Safe, durable, non-skid steel treads

      Truck steps built for hard work

      Whether it's a commercial contract or simply a backyard project, mastering the job requires a solid first step. While most running boards offer extra style for your truck, few of them possess the durability and longevity to stand up to the rigors of the jobsite.

      ARIES RidgeStep® running boards are designed to master tough jobs and make it look easy. They feature an all-steel construction, angular look, longwearing treads and no-drill installation.

      No plastic parts and no nonsense

      Unlike most other truck side steps, RidgeStep® running boards are built without any plastic parts. From their angular boards and end caps, to their brackets and punched-hole treads, they are constructed from high-strength steel.

      An all-steel construction not only provides a solid step up into the truck, but it also makes RidgeStep® running boards an ideal fit for the harsh conditions of the jobsite. You can spend more time getting quality work done and less time worrying about the survival of your truck accessories.

      A safe, dependable step that won't wear down

      RidgeStep® running boards feature a 6-1/2" wide surface for a safe, comfortable step up into your truck. They also have stamped steel treads, not plastic step pads. The treads have a punched, protruded, circular design to lock onto your boots as you climb in.

      Because the protruded treads are made from steel, they are also highly wear-resistant. They won't wear down or crack like some cheaper, plastic alternatives, even when exposed to steel-toe shoes, heavy foot traffic and UV rays.

      No-nonsense style

      To keep your work truck from becoming all utility and no class, RidgeStep® running boards feature a tough, no-nonsense look. They offer dependable footing and extra style. The angular design complements the aggressive body lines of modern trucks.

      Like the boards, the end caps of RidgeStep® running boards are entirely made from steel. They are welded into place for a durable accent, and they contour to the sides of the truck for a bold look.

      Tough, tested finish

      To make sure RidgeStep® running boards can outlast the elements, Aries cover them in a tough, tested finish. They use a dual-layer finish of E-coat and textured black powder coat to easily resist water, salt and rust, and increase slip resistance for added safety.

      The textured surface is also uniquely designed to help hide grime and minor scratches on the boards, maintaining a clean, professional finish. RidgeSteps® are also equipped with built-in splashguards along the inside edge to keep the steps free of mud and debris no matter where the job takes you.

      No-drill VersaTrac® install

      RidgeStep® running boards install using innovative VersaTrac® mounting system. Vehicle-specific brackets bolt onto the vehicle using factory mounting points for no drilling required. The boards then bolt onto the brackets using a channel system for easy adjustment.

      The VersaTrac® system is used on a number of ARIES running board options. With the vehicle-specific brackets installed, various running boards may be attached, giving you more freedom to customize your truck based on personal preferences or the changing seasons.

      Van-specific configurations

      RidgeStep® running boards are not just for work trucks. Aries also offer unique configurations for commercial cargo vans. These running boards are available in short / long configurations to accommodate the layout of full-size vans.

      RidgeStep® running boards for vans feature the same high-strength, all-steel construction as their truck applications. The textured powder coat finish is perfect for frequent exposure to the elements, especially on delivery vans.

      ARIES Rocker Steps not only provide a solid step up into your truck or Jeep, but they also feature a flat profile that ensures plenty of ground clearance. This essential for any offroad ride.

      While many side steps and running boards mount low on the vehicle, Rocker Steps are designed to mount high-and-tight against the rocker panels, keeping them elevated above potential threats.

      Heavy-duty build

      For extra protection for the sides of the vehicle and a solid step up, ARIES Rocker Steps are constructed from high-strength carbon steel. Not only that, but they are complete devoid of plastic parts.

      These rocker guard side steps feature a strong, double-tube layout with a 3" wide welded top plate and welded end caps. While Rocker Steps are not intended to completely replace the functionality of rocker guards or rocker bars, they do add an extra barrier to help prevent damage to the vehicle's sides.

      Pre-welded brackets

      To add even more strength and make installation quick and simple, ARIES Rocker Steps come with pre-welded, vehicle-specific mounting brackets.

      Welded to the running board itself - as opposed to being bolted on - the brackets provide the Rocker Steps with greatly enhanced strength and rigid. You not only get a solid step up into your offroad truck or Jeep, but the steel side steps are able to better stand up to obstacles and offroad debris.

      No-drill, custom fit

      The installation process is streamlined by using pre-existing mounting locations on the vehicle. Each set of Rocker Steps is designed to fit a specific vehicle application, eliminating the need for drilling and cutting down on installation time.

      A vehicle-specific install also ensures a custom fit without the hassle of custom modifications, and it boosts the strength of the Rocker Steps even more. Each set comes with all necessary mounting hardware for a complete installation.

      Unique textured finish

      To enable Rocker Steps to withstand the rigors of the outdoor elements and offroad trail, they are finished with a unique, dual powder coat finish. First, an E-coat is applied to shield the carbon steel with a rust-resistant layer. Then, a highly durable textured black powder coat is applied for superior rust, chip and UV resistance.

      This textured powder coat also provides the unique advantage of helping to hide minor scratches, scuffs and dirt accumulated on the trail, keeping your truck or Jeep looking clean like a pro.
