    Installation

    Aries® - 6.5" RidgeStep™ Commercial Black Running Boards Installation Instruction

    No plastic parts and no nonsense
    Powerful, defined and uncompromising as a mountain ridge, ARIES RidgeStep™ commercial running boards are made for the truck owner who buckles down and gets it done, day after day. They boast a universal track mounting system with high-strength, American-made brackets to install easily and securely. With their all-steel construction, non-skid treads and tough powder coat finish, RidgeStep™ running boards are made to finish the job.

    All-steel build with a tough finish
    ARIES RidgeStep™ running boards are built to face the harsh elements of the commercial job. They feature high-strength, solid steel construction for a step that can keep up with those steel-toe boots, and they are completely without plastic parts, meaning they will not crack or fade in the sun. Their stamped, all-steel tread offers a 6 1/2" wide, non-skid surface that will never wear down no matter how many times you climb in and out of your truck. The end caps are also made from steel and are welded to contour to the body of your vehicle for a professional finish. To seal the deal, RidgeStep™ commercial running boards come with a textured black powder coat finish to withstand rust, scratches and grime.

    Universal track mounting system
    Installation of these commercial running boards is easier and more secure because they use a universal track mounting system. The underside of each board is equipped with an 8mm channel that accepts a set of heavy-duty bracket inserts. The inserts move along the channel to fit your vehicle, and the mounting hardware provides a secure attachment.

    From the cattle ranch of the arid desert plains to the forgotten forest trails of the frozen tundra, the job doesn't wait for those who lag behind. Rise to the challenge and master the job with ARIES RidgeStep™ commercial running boards.

    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 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.

    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!

    Perfect
    First of all they came very quickly. Very high quality. Bought these because climbing into our 2500 Silverado was a chore for my wife. Now she has no problems. Installation is a little challenging. If your not mechanical you may want to have them installed. Overall though they are great and I definitely recommend them.

    Works Well
    These worked well with the trim on our 2017 Ford Explorer. Mounted professionally and appear solid as a rock, no issues currently. My only complaint would be with the stepping area of the running boards themselves are plastic and not very grippy. However, this hasn't caused an issue so far.
