Product Description
1998-2012 Ford Ranger XLT Short Bed Full Rocker Kit, 8.5", 10 Pieces (TH38325)
TH38325 is for the 1998-2012 Ford Ranger XLT short bed. The tag reads "Pickup Truck, XLT, Short Bed," and the kit is a ten-piece polished stainless steel Full Kit, 8.5" tall, covering "from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door."
Flares decide it
TH38326 is linked with the same width and piece count, tagged "Pickup Truck, XLT, Short Bed, w/ Flares." This record has no flare note at all, which suggests a truck without them, though the data doesn't say "NO Flares" outright. If your XLT has flares, look at TH38326. If you aren't sure how to read the difference, call 877-752-3811.
No cab in the tag
The record doesn't name a cab style. It doesn't say regular cab or extended. Send a side photo with your call so we can confirm it matches your truck.
Long bed kits
For a regular cab long bed with no flares, QAA links two 6" Lower Kits, TH38323 and TH38328.
Full height
Eight and a half inches from the molding to the door bottom is a big band. Measure yours at the front and rear of each door before ordering; it should come close to eight and a half.
Material
For the Ranger XLT short bed, the ten 8.5" pieces are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel made in the USA, applied over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the truck.
Positioning wide pieces
Tuck each piece's top edge under the molding, check that the bottom follows the door edge, and hold it with painter's tape. Lift one end, peel a few inches of liner and press. Then work across in short steps, pressing air out toward the open end.
Molding check
The molding sets the top line. If it's loose or has been replaced, sort that out first.
Prep
Wash, dry and alcohol-wipe the full band. Repair flaking or chalky paint inside it.
Ten pieces
Sort them with the product photos and label each liner; the record doesn't map positions.
Afterward
Open both Ranger doors fully to check clearance, and wait a day before washing.
Tools
Tape measure, painter's tape, marker, soap, isopropyl alcohol, towels, plastic squeegee. A dry, mild day in the shade.
Sides
Keep the Ranger positions the same on every piece.
Before ordering
Check the XLT badge, the short bed and whether the wheel openings have flares. Then measure the molding-to-door-bottom band. If the badge, bed and measurement all fit and there are no flares, this is the record's match; otherwise call with photos.
Helper
A second pair of hands makes these tall pieces easier: one person holds the piece under the molding while the other checks the lower edge and peels the liner.
Weather
Wide pieces trap air more easily on a cold panel. Wait for a mild, dry day and keep the truck out of direct sun while the tape goes down. Questions along the way: 877-752-3811, SKU TH38325.

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.
