Product Description
Chevrolet Suburban 1992-1999 Rocker Kit Without Flares, Ten Pieces, 6.25" (TH32198)
For the 1992-1999 Chevrolet Suburban without flares, TH32198 is polished stainless steel from the bottom of the side molding to the bottom of each door. The record tags it "4-door, SUV, NO Flares" and lists ten pieces at 6.25", a Full Kit.
The twin with flares
TH32199, the one linked part, is the same piece count and width, tagged "w/ Flares, K1500 Suburban." Two details differ on paper: flares, and the K1500 name. TH32198 doesn't name a K or C version at all, so the record doesn't limit it that way. Flares are the deciding point. If your Suburban has them, go to TH32199; if not, this is the listing tagged for you.
How to tell
Look at the wheel openings. This kit is listed for trucks with no flares, so check your wheel arches before ordering. If you can't tell, send a photo of a wheel opening and lower door to 877-752-3811 and we'll take a look.
What arrives
- Ten pieces
- A 6.25" band below the Suburban's molding
- High-grade 304 stainless, 26 gauge, polished
- American-made Suburban trim
- Fixed over the Suburban's surface as it is with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape
According to QAA, the tape fixing the ten Suburban strips on SUVs without flares will hold for a lifetime and won't cause any damage.
Ten pieces, four doors
The record doesn't say where the ten go or whether some extend past the doors. Lay them out, match them with the photos, and label each one before cleaning.
Molding
The steel's top edge follows the molding. Run a hand along each section and fix any that are loose or bent.
Cleaning
Wash the lower sides, dry, and wipe with isopropyl alcohol several times. Look for paint chips or flaking and repair them before the tape goes on.
Installation
Front door first. Liner on to test; then peel, tuck under the molding, press along. Open and close each door after its piece.
Matching
Measure each position, keep it consistent, then check from the front bumper.
Supplies
Suburban prep kit: soap, alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape, measuring tape, plastic tool.
Measure before ordering
Hold a tape measure from the underside of the molding to the bottom of a front door, then a rear door. The record lists six and a quarter inches. Readings close to that are a good sign; anything well off is worth a call before you buy.
Doors and clearance
Each time a piece goes on, open the door all the way and close it gently. The bottom corners of the door are where any contact shows first. If you hear or feel anything, stop before fitting the next piece and call us with a photo.
Pace
Ten pieces on a long SUV is a few hours' work. Take a break partway through.
Weather and care
A dry, mild day. About a day before washing. Mild soap and non-abrasive polish after that.

Check the body style on each listing; some kits are specific to one body style.
Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Full 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.
