I have a spray in bedliner in my truck. I don't know what brand it is, but, I know it has been in there for about 8 years now. No problems except the ones that I created. I doubt if I will ever have another truck without one. Just opinion.
BTW, how do you PM someone, I am interested in the 4" skyjacker.

X2. I wouldnt go with diy bed liner. I think they all bout the same. The low preasure witch is the one that looks wet is better for things that want to slide around the bed and high presure one is more durable to throwing things in the bed and not pealing. Just my 2 cents.

One thing I did when it was new was put one of those cheap bed mat in the bed. At the time I was moving a lot of motor blocks and heads and thought the mat would help. The mat is still there also.
LineX is another good brand. Do not think that all spray in liners are the same. For several years the dealers around here were using a Company called Tuff Stuff and it wasn't. A friend went with it so he would not have to take the truck to Rhino and leave it for the day. He had a red F350 XLT CC dually and the dealer talked him into a red liner. 16 months later he put a topper on the truck because of all the crap he was catching from the pink bedliner he had.
You will be surprised at how much quiter the truck is with the spray in liner.

I definitly don't plan on doing a DIY kit from autozone or wherever. Line X is probably what I will go with I just wanted to hear from the guys with spray ins. There is a rhino liner guy in my town, but I've seen his work and I think its kinda sloppy.

About 10 yrs ago I used to spray Permatech Perma-Tech Sprayed-On Technology ...it was some sweet stuff.
We did everything from boat bottoms to dump trucks.....our shop was right next to the GM Tech Center so we did a few concept cars/trucks too.
If I was to get a liner it would be that or Line-x

I looked at spray-in liners myself over the past year or so, and here's what I've concluded:
My buddy has a brand called Reflex, which is what I would get because it is the most rubber-like and remains grippy even in colder weather.
Line-X seems the most plastic-like to me, not grippy. And the shops around here do bad prep and it doesn't always bond well.
Rhino is somewhere in-between on grippiness. It's probably what I would have got if I hadn't found out about the Reflex.
DIY yourself is garbage and doesn't hold up; wears off easily.
I'm sure other brands are out there that I haven't came across personally.
I don't have any liner yet because I have some bodywork I need to get done first, but then for sure I'd get the Reflex because I want something grippy like a rubber bedmat. Others may like something more plastic like a drop-in liner. It really comes down to what you want.

what exactly is wrong with the roll in bedliners? are they thinner than the spray in ones? i got a roll in kit off evil bay for 25 bucks and plan on rolling it sunday. all i really wat is to lose the cap, install my tool box and line the bed after a bit of prep. i plan on sanding any rusty spots caused by the bedliner in it now and priming them and rolling in the new liner. i don't usually have much in the bed. unfortunately most of the time the bed is empty, although i do pull a 12k lb tractor every once in a while so it isn't totally a mall crawler. the kit i got is a road warrior kit from rust-oleum. i would hope they put out a decent if not perfect product.
