Product Description
8.5" Ford Ranger XLT Extra Cab Short Bed Rocker Kit with Trim Crease, No Flares, 1993-2012 (TH33324)
TH33324 is the tall option for the Ranger XLT Extra Cab short bed without flares, 1993-2012. It's ten pieces of polished stainless steel at 8.5", a Full Kit with two notes: "With Trim Crease" and "Spans from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door." It has no "QAA Molding" note, which sets it apart from the 6" Ranger kits.
Height is the decision
The linked TH33321 has the same tag (Extra Cab, short bed, NO Flares) at 6" with the QAA Molding note. That's a two-and-a-half-inch difference for the same truck description. The data doesn't explain it. The most useful thing you can do is measure your truck: from where the trim's top edge would sit down to the door bottom. Then call 877-752-3811 with that number and a photo.
"With Trim Crease"
The record doesn't explain whether the steel follows a crease in the door or has one formed into it. Compare the product photos with your doors.

Fitment
Ford Ranger pickup, XLT, Extra Cab, short bed, NO Flares, 1993 through 2012.
The steel
The ten creased 8.5" pieces for the Ranger XLT without flares are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel from the USA, fixed over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says that tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the Ford.
Tall panels need flat paint
Eight and a half inches of polished steel shows every ripple underneath. Wash, dry and wipe with isopropyl alcohol, then run a palm over the band to find grit or old repairs. Fix what you find first.
Where the pieces go
Positions aren't listed for the ten Ranger pieces. Use the photos and label the liners.
Mounting tall pieces
Set the top edge first along a short length, then work the liner out while pressing from the middle toward the edges so air escapes. A helper holding the far end keeps the piece square.
Door check
Swing each door through its travel after its piece is on.
Matching
Keep the measured Ranger positions consistent.
A long year range
The Extra Cab fitment covers 1993 to 2012 on one row. The record doesn't mention any change in fit across that span, but if your truck is near either end, mention its year when you call so we can check the photos with you.
Molding
The span note starts at the bottom of the molding; make sure that line is firm and straight before you begin.
Supplies
Soap, isopropyl alcohol, plenty of cloths, painter's tape, a tape measure, a plastic tool.
Weather and care
Dry and mild. A day before washing. Soft cloths and non-abrasive polish to avoid swirls on the wide face.

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.
