Product Description
Ford Ranger XLT Short Bed No Flares, 1993-1997: 8.5" Rocker Kit With Trim Crease (TH33325)
TH33325 is the only 8.5" kit in the 1993-1997 Ranger group. The tag reads "Pickup Truck, XLT, Short Bed, NO Flares," and the kit is ten pieces of polished stainless steel with the notes "With Trim Crease" and "Spans from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door."
Same truck, two heights
TH33323 is linked with the identical tag at 6", carrying the QAA Molding note. The records don't explain why the same description has kits two and a half inches apart in height. Rather than guess which suits your Ranger, measure from the trim's top line to the door bottom and phone 877-752-3811 with the result.
The 1993-1997 group
TH33322 (short bed, flares, molding), TH33327 (long bed, flares) and TH33328 (long bed, no flares) are all 6" kits with the QAA Molding note. TH33325 is the one with the trim crease.
Trim crease
The record notes it without detail. Compare the product photos with your doors to see whether the shape matches.
No cab listed
The fitment for this group doesn't name a cab. Tell us yours when you call.
Construction
Each of the ten creased Ranger XLT short bed pieces starts as polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel in the USA and bonds to the existing surface of the unflared truck with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without harm.
Measuring
Front and rear of each door, from the top reference line to the bottom edge. Write the numbers down; they decide between this kit and TH33323.
Sorting the ten pieces
The record gives no positions. Match the Ranger pieces to the photos and label them.
Surface
Wash and dry. Isopropyl alcohol over the full band, twice. Tall polished panels show bumps, so feel for grit and old touch-up and smooth it out first.
Install
Set the top first, then press downward and outward from the center as the liner comes out. Ask someone to hold the far end. Check the door after each piece.
Plain wheel openings
On a no-flares truck, confirm the end pieces sit flat to the body all the way.
Keeping the Ranger even
Hold the measured Ranger positions the same throughout.
Supplies
Car soap, isopropyl alcohol, a stack of lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a marker, a tape measure, a plastic tool, and a second person for the tall pieces.
Previewing the height
Put one strip of painter's tape at the top reference line and another 8.5" below it on a door. Look at the band from a few steps back and from the front corner. Do the same at 6" if you're comparing with TH33323. Seeing both on the truck usually makes the choice clearer than any description.
Molding check
Press along the molding where the top edge will sit and fix any loose sections first.
When
A dry, mild day. Leave it dry for a day after.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Full 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.
