Product Description
1998-2001 Ram Quad Cab Long Bed: 12-Piece Stainless Upper Rocker Trim, 5.625" (TH38927)
TH38927 fits the long bed version of the 1998-2001 Dodge Ram Quad Cab. Its tag reads "Pickup Truck, Quad Cab, Long Bed." The kit is twelve pieces of polished stainless steel, an Upper Kit 5.625" wide, set from the bottom of the molding downward.
Long bed, upper band
That's the combination this record covers. Its short bed counterpart, TH38926, lists the same width and count. The long bed Full Kit, TH38929, goes from the molding all the way to the door bottom at 8.75". And TH38928 is the short bed Full Kit.
Why two bed versions with the same numbers?
The record doesn't say. Width, count and placement are identical between this and the short bed kit, and QAA lists them separately anyway. Rather than treat them as interchangeable, order the one tagged for your bed. If you'd like to know what differs, ask us at 877-752-3811.
Five and five-eighths inches
The top edge meets the molding; the bottom edge sits 5.625" below it. Hold a strip of painter's tape at that depth on one door to see the result. If the space under your molding is less than that, call before ordering.
Material
Dodge's 1998-2001 Ram Quad Cab long bed takes twelve 5.625" strips of USA-made polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, carried under the molding on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime with no damage to the truck.
Laying out twelve
The record doesn't assign positions. Match pieces to the product photos and label the liners. Note in the photos where each piece sits before you start.
Molding
It's the reference for every piece. Re-secure any loose section before starting.
Cleaning
Wash and dry under the molding, then an isopropyl alcohol wipe. Repair any chalky or flaking paint first.
Fitting
Dry-fit with painter's tape. Peel a short length of liner, press the end, and continue across while pulling the liner. Firm pressure over the whole piece finishes it.
Doors
Open all four doors fully after installing and check the edges.
What you'll need
- Painter's tape and a marker for the Ram
- Tape measure
- Car soap, isopropyl alcohol, towels
Afterward
The Ram waits a day before washing.
Matching
Measure each Ram position and keep it consistent.
Before ordering
Confirm a 1998-2001 Quad Cab with the long bed, measure the space under the molding, and decide whether you want paint showing below the band or steel all the way down. If you want the latter, the long bed Full Kit is the one to look at. Any doubt about the bed, measure it and mention the figure when you call.
Weather and patience
Install on a dry, mild day in the shade. Take your time on the dry fit; twelve pieces placed carefully look far better than twelve placed fast.
Preview

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Upper Kit
- Unpack all 12 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.
