Product Description
1997-2003 F-150 Extra Cab Long Bed with Flares, Lower Rocker Kit, Ten Pieces at 3.25" (TH37313)
TH37313 is the last of the eight linked 1997-2003 Ford F-150 rocker kits: the Extra Cab long bed with flares. The row reads "3-door, Pickup Truck, Extra Cab, Long Bed, w/ Flares." It's ten pieces of polished stainless steel, a Lower Kit 3.25" wide spanning "from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width."
By elimination
If your truck is an Extra Cab, has the long bed, and wears flares, every other kit in the group drops out. Without flares, it's TH37312. With the short bed, TH37302 or TH37303. Two-door trucks have TH37308 through TH37311 on this sheet. The width and count are the same everywhere, so the tag is what you're matching.
Flares
The record doesn't describe what the flare tag changes in the pieces. Compare the product photos with your truck's wheel openings, and dry-fit nearby pieces with care. If the shapes don't match, stop before peeling and call 877-752-3811.
Door-count tag
Listed as 3-door only, while the short bed Extra Cab kits list 3-door and 4-door. If that difference matters for your truck, phone us.
Construction and attachment
For the flared 1997-2003 F-150 Extra Cab long bed, ten 3.25" strips of USA-made polished 26 gauge 304 stainless are pressed onto the doors using 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without harm.
Three and a quarter inches
Measured from the door bottom up. Mark that line with painter's tape to preview the band.
Labeling
Ten pieces without positions in the record. Match, label, then clean.
Prep
Repair door-bottom chips; wash, dry, alcohol-wipe.
Apply
Flush to the bottom edge, peel gradually, press along, finish firmly.
Care
Keep water off the new F-150 strips for a day.
Accessories on the sheet
Two door handle cover kits, DH37304 ("With 2 keyholes") and DH37305 ("Does not include passenger key access"), are tagged 2-door pickup. A pillar post kit, PP37308, is tagged Crew Cab. None is tagged Extra Cab; check each listing before ordering it for this truck.
The third door
Test the piece near the third door by opening it through its full range with the liner still on. No contact, then commit.
Keeping it consistent
Keep positions consistent where the doors correspond; the photos show where each piece goes.
When you call
Have photos of both wheel openings, square-on profile photos of the truck, and the year ready. Keep the SKU and UPC below handy.
Tools
Tape measure, painter's tape, marker, car soap, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, plastic trim tool. Shade and a dry, mild day.
After the first day, mild soap and soft cloths keep the polish bright.
Bottom edges first
Because the whole band sits on the lowest part of each door, any chip or rust bubble there will be right under the steel's edge. Inspect with a flashlight and repair before installing anything.

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.
