Product Description
TH87517 D21 Hardbody King Cab Lower Kit, 6.625" "Long", 10 Pieces
TH87517 is a ten-piece polished stainless steel Lower Kit for the 1987-1995 Nissan D21 Hardbody King Cab pickup, with the note "fits 1986 1/2 as well." The width bullet reads "6.625" Width, Long," and the kit "Spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width."
What "Long" means
The record doesn't explain the word "Long," so call to ask. If it matters for your truck, call 877-752-3811 and we'll check it for you.
Taller than the Full Kit
The King Cab Full Kit, TH87514, is listed at 5.5" and runs from the molding to the door bottom. This Lower Kit is listed at 6.625", which is taller. The record doesn't say how a Lower Kit can be taller than the space the Full Kit fills. Measure from the door bottom up 6.625" on your truck and see where that lands relative to the molding. If it reaches or passes the molding, call us before ordering.
King Cab heights
- TH87516: 3"
- TH87515: 4.75"
- TH87517: 6.625" (this kit)
- TH87514: Full Kit, 5.5"
A Short Bed twin
TH87518 has the same 6.625" "Long" bullet and ten-piece count, tagged Short Bed. The record doesn't say how the two differ.
Material
Cut in the USA from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, the ten long 6.625" King Cab pieces bond to the existing door surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the D21 Hardbody.
Prep
A tall kit covers a lot of paint. Wash it, strip the wax, fix any rust or chipped paint across the whole band, and wipe with isopropyl alcohol last.
Fitting
Dry fit each piece with its lower edge on the door bottom. Check the top edge stays level, then open each door. Bond with short liner peels and firm pressure.
Conditions
A mild, dry, shaded day. Wait a day before washing.
Measuring first
Because this is the tallest Lower Kit in the D21 group, the measurement matters more here. Hold a ruler at the bottom of the door, mark 6.625" with masking tape at the front and rear of each door, and look at where the tape sits. If the mark crosses the molding or anything else fitted to the door, send us a photo before ordering.
Ten pieces
The record doesn't list where each piece goes. Lay them out by shape, compare with the photos, and number the liners.
Spacing the rest
Copy the gaps you set on the first pieces so the whole kit matches. Keep the box until every piece is on.
Before ordering
Send us your year, cab, bed and your 6.625" measurement. If the Short Bed twin, TH87518, also describes your truck, mention that, and we will confirm which listing to order.
Fit one door first and check the top edge before going on.
Keep the liners on until the dry fit looks right all the way along.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Lower Kit
- Unpack all 10 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
