Product Description
K1500 Suburban with Flares, 1992-1999: Ten-Piece Stainless Rocker Kit at 6.25" (TH32199)
TH32199 is tagged for the Chevrolet Suburban, 1992-1999, "4-door, SUV, w/ Flares, K1500 Suburban." Ten pieces of polished stainless steel at 6.25" make up the Full Kit, which "Spans from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door."
Two conditions in the tag
Flares and K1500. The linked TH32198 is the no-flares kit at the same size, and it doesn't mention K1500. The record here doesn't say whether a Suburban with flares that isn't a K1500 is covered. If that's your situation, phone 877-752-3811 before ordering.
Finding your version
Check the vehicle's paperwork for how it's described. Tell us what you find when you call and we'll compare it against the record.
The steel
The ten 6.25" Suburban pieces are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel cut by QAA in the USA, mounted over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime and won't mark the Chevrolet.
Height check
Measure from the molding to the bottom of a door, front and rear. Six and a quarter inches is what the record lists. Readings well away from that are a reason to call before you order, not after.
Flares and piece ends
The ends of the front and rear pieces sit nearest the flares. In the dry-fit, confirm they land as the photos show and don't press into the flare edge. If one looks wrong, stop and call.
Organizing
Positions for the ten pieces aren't listed. Sort by shape, match with the photos, label the liners, and take a photo of the layout before you start.
Surface
Wash and dry, then isopropyl alcohol across the band. Older paint gets a painter's tape test; repair any lifting.
Mounting
Top edge under the molding, liner on, then step back. Peel, press and continue, cycling each door as you go.
Joints along the Suburban
Copy measured joint positions from the first Suburban run to the second.
Molding check
The molding is the line every top edge follows. Press along it on each door; reattach loose ends and straighten any wavy sections before mounting, or the polished steel will make the flaw obvious.
Supplies
Car soap and a bucket, isopropyl alcohol, a stack of lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a marker for labels, a tape measure, and a plastic tool for residue near the flares. A helper is useful on the longer pieces.
Door by door
Work front to back. After each piece, open the door fully and close it gently, listening for contact at the bottom corners. Fix any problem before moving on, while the tape is still fresh.
Before you call
Have the model year, whether it has flares, how the paperwork describes the model, and a photo of the truck in profile. That covers most fit questions on this kit.
Afterward
Dry for about a day. Then soap, water and non-abrasive polish.

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.
