Product Description
2004-2008 Ford F-150 Super Cab with Flares, 5.5' Bed: Stainless Molding Inserts, 10 Pieces (MI44301)
This is the flares version. MI44301 is tagged "w/ Flares" for the Ford F-150 Super Cab with a 5.5' bed, model years 2004 through 2008, and it brings ten polished stainless molding insert strips at 1.5 inches wide. If your truck doesn't have flares, this is not the listing for you; call and we'll point you to the right one.
One tag to double-check
The fitment row describes the truck as "2-door, Pickup Truck, Super Cab." On this same sheet, the door sill set DS44302 tags the Super Cab as 4-door. The two records disagree on the door count for the same cab, and we've flagged it for review. For ordering, go by the cab name, bed length, flares and year, and if the door count leaves you uncertain, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with MI44301 before you buy.
Quick fit list
- Ford F-150, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 or 2008
- Super Cab
- 5.5' bed
- Flares fitted (tag: "w/ Flares")
The strips
Ten pieces of 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished, made in the USA, all listed at 1.5 inches wide. They mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and go directly over the existing surface, so there's no drilling. Getting the F-150's moldings clean is covered under Installation. Placement for each of the ten isn't stated on the sheet; the photos show the layout.
Working around a flared truck
On a truck with flares, look closely during the dry fit wherever a strip ends near a flare edge, and make sure nothing overlaps the flare in a way the photos don't show. Clean each molding with soap and water, dry it, and wipe it with rubbing alcohol. Number the liners before you start so ten similar pieces don't get mixed up. Dry-fit, mark the ends with painter's tape, peel, place and press. Fit a few strips, sight along them from the front, then do the rest. Temperature range and full steps are on the Installation tab.
Related parts on this sheet
The sheet cross-lists twenty-nine parts. Among them: DS44302, a 4-piece door sill trim for the Super Cab with a width given as 2.25-2.625, and DS44316, a 4-piece door sill trim at 2.63 for the Crew Cab; GC44308, a 1-piece gas door cover trim; and MC44308, a 2-piece mirror cover set. Three other molding insert kits appear: MI44303, 10 pieces at 1.5 for the Super Cab with 6.5' bed and flares; MI44305, 12 pieces for the Crew Cab with 6.5' bed and no flares; and MI44306, 12 pieces for the Crew Cab with 6.5' bed and flares. If your bed is 6.5' rather than 5.5', MI44303 is the one to look at. The other twenty-two are listed by number only, so open each one to see what it is.
Polished stainless keeps its look with mild soap, water and a soft cloth; skip steel wool and abrasive pads, which scratch the polish. Questions about MI44301? Call 877-752-3811.

Installation tips: Body Molding Insert Trim 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.
