Product Description
Ford F-150 Regular Cab 6.5' Bed, No Flares (2004-2008): Lower Rocker Kit, 10 Pieces, 7.25"-7.5" (TH44308)
TH44308 is the two-door entry in the 2004-2008 Ford F-150 Lower Kit group: "2-door, Pickup Truck, Regular Cab, 6.5' bed, NO Flares." It's ten pieces of polished stainless steel with a 7.25" to 7.5" taper, and the steel "Spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width."
Ten pieces on a two-door
The Regular Cab kits carry the same piece count as the SuperCab kits, ten, even though the doors differ. The record doesn't describe where the pieces go or whether any extend past the doors. Look closely at the product photos, and if you'd like a description of the layout, call 877-752-3811.
Regular Cab choices
- 6.5' bed: TH44308 (no flares, this one) or TH44310 (flares).
- 8' bed: TH44309 without flares, TH44311 with flares.
Gas door and mirrors
Two of the linked accessories are tagged for both two-door and four-door trucks: GC44308, a one-piece gas door cover trim, and MC44308, a two-piece mirror cover set. They're separate listings with their own material and fitting notes; read those before putting them in an order.
Matching insert
MI44308 is a ten-piece 1.5" body molding insert kit with this record's Regular Cab, 6.5' bed, no-flares tag.
The steel
Ten Regular Cab strips for the 6.5' bed F-150 without flares start as polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel in a USA shop; 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape holds each one from the bottom of the door upward. QAA states that tape will hold for a lifetime.
Preview the height
Mark seven and a half inches up from a door bottom with painter's tape and step back.
Taper direction
The record doesn't say which end is taller; match the product photos during the dry-fit.
Preparation
Repair chips and dents along the lower doors. Wash, rinse, dry, then alcohol-wipe the band.
Installing
- Match the pieces to the photos; number the liners.
- Painter's-tape each piece up first.
- Peel a few inches of liner, seat the lower edge, work along.
- Press hard across all of each piece.
After
Open both doors wide and sight down the truck. Wash after a full day.
A straight F-150 line
Use the door edges to keep the piece spacing consistent on the truck.
Before ordering
Regular Cab, 6.5' bed, no flares, 2004-2008. If those all match, this is the record.
Weather
Pick a dry, mild day or work in a garage.
Door bottoms
Because each piece starts at the bottom edge of a door, inspect those edges closely. Bubbled or chipped paint there will sit right under the tape, so fix it and let it cure first.
A helper
Someone holding the far end of each tall piece clear of the paint keeps the tape clean and the line straight.
Care
Wash with mild soap and a soft mitt, dry with a towel, and rinse off road salt in winter.
What to send
Year, bed length, and a photo of the whole truck.
Supplies
Gather painter's tape, a tape measure, isopropyl alcohol, a marker and microfiber cloths.

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.
