We want to be upfront: TH38323 is linked to this listing and its record is identical. Same tag, same six-inch height, same ten pieces, same placement note. The data gives no way to tell the two apart, and we won't pretend otherwise. A quick call to 877-752-3811 with your truck's year and a side photo is the surest way to get the right one shipped.
Other linked Rangers
Two Full Kits, TH38325 and TH38326, are 8.5" tall from the molding down to the door bottom and tagged for the XLT short bed, the second with flares. They're aimed at a different truck than this long bed kit.
How it sits
Anchored at the bottom of each door, the band climbs six inches. Nothing on the record mentions molding for this truck, so the top edge depends on careful measuring rather than a guide on the body.
Construction
Ford's Ranger Regular Cab long bed without flares takes ten 6" strips of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel from a USA shop, rising from the door bottom on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface. QAA says that tape will hold for a lifetime and won't mark the truck.
Mark the height
Measure six inches up from the door bottom at each end of each door and set a small piece of painter's tape there. Those marks give you the line to follow, and they let you preview the look before ordering.
Laying out
Ten pieces, positions not described in the record. Use the product photos to sort them and order them front to rear. Label each liner.
Check the bottom edges
On a long-running model like this, door bottoms see plenty of road spray. Look for chips, bubbles or rust and repair them before covering them with steel.
Steps
- Wash and dry the Ranger, then wipe with isopropyl alcohol.
- Dry-fit each piece to your tape marks.
- Lift a few inches of liner and fix the Ranger piece's end.
- Press along as you draw out the rest of the liner.
- Press firmly across each Ranger piece.
Wheel openings
No flares on this tag, so pieces near the wheel openings sit on bare body. Make sure their ends lie flat.
Clearance
Swing each door through its full arc and watch the bottom edge.
Care
Leave it a day before washing. Mild soap afterward; no abrasive pads.
Line check on the truck
Keep the measured positions consistent and sight along the truck to confirm the line.
Supplies
Tape measure, painter's tape, marker, car soap, isopropyl alcohol and towels. Dry, mild weather in the shade.
What to send
Your year, a side photo and confirmation of the long bed and missing flares. We'll match it on the phone.

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.
