Product Description
TH49657: 6" Stainless Lower Kit, 12 Pieces, 2009-2014 F-150 Crew Cab 5.5' Bed (Special Platinum Edition)
TH49657 is listed for the 2009-2014 Ford F-150 Crew Cab with the 5.5' bed and flares, and only for the Special Platinum Edition. It's a twelve-piece Lower Kit in polished stainless steel that covers the door bottoms up to 6".
Short-bed Platinum row
Two records carry the "Special Platinum Edition only" tag: TH49656 for the 6.5' bed and this one for the 5.5' bed. Both are twelve pieces at 6". If your Crew Cab with flares and the 5.5' bed is not that edition, the matching listing is TH49317, which is 7.25"-7.5". The catalog doesn't explain the difference in width, so confirm your edition before you buy.
Confirming the edition
The surest source is your paperwork: window sticker, build sheet or registration details. If you can't find it, call 877-752-3811 and send a side photo. We'll look at it with you rather than guess.
Materials and mounting
- Platinum F-150 steel: polished 304, 26 gauge, high quality
- USA-made for the Platinum Edition
- Fits over the Platinum's surface as it is with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape
- According to QAA, the tape behind the twelve Platinum Edition Crew Cab strips will hold for a lifetime with no damage to the F-150.
What 6" looks like
The record gives a single width rather than a taper. Mark 6" up from the bottom of a door with painter's tape and step back to see the line the trim will follow.
Other parts for the truck
MI49317, a twelve-piece 1.5" insert kit, carries the Crew Cab, 5.5' bed, w/ Flares tags, but its row doesn't mention the Platinum edition. The mirror covers MC49307 and MC49310 are listed as Chrome Plated ABS plastic for F-150 pickups. Before you pair anything with this kit, check each listing and call if the tags don't line up.
Lay it out
Twelve pieces and four doors, with no layout given. Match each piece to the photos and write its position on the liner.
Paint prep
Wash and dry the door bottoms, then wipe with isopropyl alcohol. Skip quick detailer or wax that day.
Fit and bond
Tape a piece up and check it with the door fully open and closed. Peel the liner from one end, press, and keep pressing as you go. Then go back over the whole piece once more.
One height for every piece
Copy the measurements so every piece sits at the same height.
First day
Let it be for a day before washing. Mild soap after that.

Kit for the job
You'll want soapy water, towels, isopropyl alcohol, painter's tape, a measuring tape and a marker for the liners. A second person helps with the longer pieces.
Look before cleaning
Walk around the truck and check the bottom of every door for chips or lifted paint. Repair those spots first.
Weather window
Plan the install for a mild, dry day out of direct sun, or do it in a garage.
If any detail on this page doesn't match your truck, call before ordering.

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.
