Product Description
F-150 Special Platinum Edition Lower Kit, 2009-2014 Crew Cab 6.5' Bed w/ Flares - 6", 12 Pc (TH49656)
TH49656 is a twelve-piece Lower Kit of polished stainless steel listed only for the Special Platinum Edition of the 2009-2014 Ford F-150. The fitment row is the Crew Cab with the 6.5' bed and the w/ Flares tag. Each piece covers the bottom of a door, from the lower edge up to an even 6".
"Special Platinum Edition only"
That restriction is the reason this listing exists. For the same cab, bed and flares, QAA also lists TH49306 at 7.25"-7.5". The record doesn't describe the edition or explain why its kit is narrower, and we won't fill in details it doesn't give. Before ordering, confirm from your window sticker, title or dealer paperwork that your truck is the Special Platinum Edition. If your paperwork isn't clear, call 877-752-3811 with your year and a photo of the truck in profile.
Bed length partner
The Special Platinum Edition row with the 5.5' bed is TH49657, also twelve pieces at 6". Bed length is the only difference between the two records, so measure your bed floor before choosing.
A straight 6"
Unlike the 7.25"-7.5" kits in this family, this kit's width isn't listed as tapered. The record simply says 6". To preview it, run a 6"-tall strip of painter's tape along the bottom of one door and look at it from the front corner of the truck.
The steel
The Platinum Edition kit is twelve polished 26 gauge 304 stainless pieces made in the USA. They go over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, and QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the F-150.
Linked to these trucks
MI49306 (twelve pieces, 1.5") and AT49306 (twelve pieces, 0.375") carry the Crew Cab, w/ Flares tags, and AT49306 writes the bed as 6'6". Neither row mentions the Special Platinum Edition. The catalog doesn't say whether they suit this edition, so call 877-752-3811 before you put them in the order.
Twelve pieces
The record doesn't say how the twelve split across the four doors. Sort them against the product photos and label each liner.
Preparation
Soapy wash, rinse, dry, then isopropyl alcohol along each door bottom. The tape needs clean, wax-free paint to bond.
Putting it on
Use painter's tape to hold each piece while you open and close the door and sight along the bottom. Once it's right, peel the liner in stages and press it down firmly.
Lining up the pieces
Write down the first F-150 measurements and reuse them on every piece.
Care
No washing for the first day. After that, a soft cloth and mild soap.
Reach us
Gather first
Lay out a bucket with car soap, a stack of clean microfiber towels, isopropyl alcohol, painter's tape, a tape measure and a marker before you start. A shaded driveway or garage keeps the doors cool.
Check the bottom edges
The trim sits right at the lower edge of each door, so look there for stone chips or lifting paint. Sound paint is what the tape bonds to.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Lower 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.
