Product Description
F-150 Two-Door Short Bed with Flares (1997-2003) Lower Rocker Kit, 10 Pieces, 3.25" (TH37310)
If your 1997-2003 Ford F-150 is a two-door short bed with flares, TH37310 is the kit the record names. The tag reads "2-door, Pickup Truck, Short Bed, w/ Flares." It's ten pieces of polished stainless steel, a Lower Kit 3.25" wide that "Spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width."
Flare or no flare
The linked TH37308 is identical on paper, ten pieces at 3.25", tagged for the same two-door short bed but without flares. Nothing else in the two records differs. The data doesn't spell out what the flare version changes, so your truck decides: flares at the wheel openings point here, none point to TH37308. Photos of both wheel openings sent with a call to 877-752-3811 will clear up any doubt.
Where it sits
Starting at the very bottom of each door and rising three and a quarter inches. That's a narrow band low on the truck. Mark it with tape on one door and stand back before you order.
The rest of the F-150 set
Long bed two-door: TH37309 (no flares) and TH37311 (flares). Extra Cab: TH37302 and TH37303 (short bed), TH37312 and TH37313 (long bed).
Accessories on the sheet
Two door handle cover kits tagged 2-door pickup, DH37304 ("With 2 keyholes") and DH37305 ("Does not include passenger key access"), and a pillar post kit, PP37308, tagged Crew Cab. Check each listing's finish and fit.
The steel
For the 2-door F-150 short bed with flares, ten 3.25" strips cut in the USA from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel rise from the door bottom on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime with no damage to the 1997-2003 Ford.
Step by step
- Lay out all ten pieces and match each to its place with the photos.
- Label the liners.
- Check and repair the door bottoms.
- Clean, dry, and alcohol-wipe the F-150 band.
- Dry-fit each piece, lower edge flush with the bottom.
- Peel back a few inches, press, and work the F-150 piece along.
- Press the whole piece firmly.
- Measure each position and keep it consistent along the truck.
Near the flares
Take care dry-fitting any piece close to a flare. If something doesn't line up the way the photos show, stop before peeling.
Afterward
Swing both doors to check clearance. No washing for a day; then mild soap.
Before calling
Have the year, cab and bed, photos of both wheel openings, and a side photo of the whole truck. With those, we can confirm flare versus non-flare in a minute.
Tools
Tape measure, painter's tape, marker, car soap, isopropyl alcohol, clean lint-free cloths, plastic trim tool. A dry, mild day out of the sun.
If a piece doesn't match any place on the truck during the dry run, keep its liner on and call with the SKU below.
Joint positions on the F-150
Keep positions consistent, measured from the door edges and wheel openings.

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.
