Aries Chrome AdvantEDGE 5-1/2" Side Bars

 

The ARIES Chrome AdvantEDGE 5-1/2 inch Side Bars are designed for customers who want easier cab access, bold modern styling, and a bright chrome appearance for their truck or SUV. Their 5-1/2 inch angular profile gives the vehicle a sharper look than traditional round or oval step bars while still providing a wide, useful stepping surface for daily entry and exit. These side bars are a strong choice for customers who want practical function with a more premium, custom-looking exterior upgrade.

The AdvantEDGE design stands out because it uses a unique eight-sided tube profile instead of a common rounded shape. This angular shape gives the lower body area a more aggressive, modern appearance that works well with chrome trim, polished wheels, bright grille accents, bed accessories, lighting, and other exterior upgrades. The result is a side bar that improves access while helping the vehicle look more complete and more distinctive from the side.

ARIES builds these side bars with extruded, all-aluminum construction. The aluminum design helps keep the bars strong, lightweight, and rust-free, making them practical for customers who drive through rain, snow, road spray, mud, jobsite grime, and changing weather. The chrome powder coat finish adds a bright, premium appearance while helping protect the bars from everyday exposure.

The stamped aluminum tread gives customers a secure, non-skid stepping surface without relying on a traditional plastic step pad. This tread is designed to provide long-lasting traction and a cleaner appearance over time. Textured black tread surfaces create useful contrast against the chrome finish while helping drivers and passengers step in and out with more confidence.

Die-cast aluminum end caps add a durable finished detail at each end of the side bars. Because the AdvantEDGE design avoids plastic end caps, the finished product feels more refined and more durable than many standard step bar styles. The angular end cap design also supports the sharp, modern shape of the bar so the installed look feels intentional rather than universal.

The ARIES Chrome AdvantEDGE 5-1/2 inch Side Bars use the VersaTrac mounting system with vehicle-specific brackets for easy installation and customization on supported applications. No-drill installation is supported on compatible vehicles, and heavy-duty mounting brackets help provide a solid step foundation. Whether customers are upgrading for daily driving, work use, family access, lifted vehicle entry, towing support, or a brighter lower-body appearance, the ARIES Chrome AdvantEDGE 5-1/2 inch Side Bars deliver wide aluminum step coverage with bold chrome style.
