Sometimes side bars, nerf bars and running boards just aren't the right fit for the off-roader. When your vehicle is beefed up and built out the way it was born to be, you need a step up from ordinary. ARIES Rocker Step running boards are the ideal side accessory for the off-road-style truck, Jeep or SUV, featuring extra protection for your rocker panels, a convenient 3" wide step up and enough ground clearance to allow you to hold nothing back. While many rocker panel protectors are simple steel panels or tubes, the ARIES Rocker Step is something more. In addition to its all-steel construction, it has a wide, flat profile that provides two key advantages. First, it offers a convenient, comfortable step up into your vehicle The double-tube layout and welded top plate create a sturdy, 3" wide stepping surface. Second, the flat design offers added ground clearance. Unlike some side bars that are mounted down and away from the vehicle, ARIES Rocker Step running boards are set high enough to clear brush, boulders and other off-road debris. They also feature a durable E-coat and textured black powder coat finish to resist rust and hide scratches and grime. Mounting ARIES Rocker Step running boards is fast and easy. They come with vehicle-specific mounting brackets, pre-welded into place, to provide reliable footing and a custom fit on your vehicle. This particular set of Rocker Step running boards fits specific years of the Ram 1500 and Dodge Ram 1500 (see application info to verify fitment). The brackets install using pre-existing mounting locations to eliminate the need for drilling and cut down on installation time.
