What is the better option for a truck bedliner-drop in or spray on??

Answer 1

Spray on. No rust under the liner, no drilling extra holes, no flying out on the interstate.

Answer 2

Definitely spray-in. Drop-In Bedliners suck.
I once had a drop-in bedliner that had 1 inch groove lines all thru it, and when you'd have to crawl in the bed to reach something it would absolutely kill my knees and legs to be on the bedliner. Very Painful!
I will never get a drop-in bedliner again.
You can buy the do-it yourself spray kit at TractorSupply.
The truck dealership can spray the liner, eg. RhinoLiner and several other brands, for about $300 or less. It's worth it.

Everyone keeps saying that bedliners make rust under it. but when ever you don't want it you can take it off and maybe paint the bed, and when you do a spray in is on there like it or not, and after a while they crack. I researched it and found out they grind the paint off, for the spray stays on.

drop in nevertheless has a small pocket between it and the mattress the place water can get,inflicting oxidation that ya might not at all see till removing the drop in liner spray on completely seals the mattress with out leaving anyplace for moisture to get into its finally your call yet spray on is plenty greater valuable even nevertheless it ought to value a splash slightly greater up front it could pay for ot self over the years

Answer 6

Spray on would be better, I have seen a drop in and it wound up tearing and leaving the bed rusted. I have seen a spray in bed liner, and it looked awesome. Very Nice. Rhino Lining is the way to go.

Answer 7

Spray on is better. Unlike bed liner which are just plastic, the spray is non conductive there fore if you are hauling jugs of gasoline, there is less likely the change of a spark induced explosion. Spray on is more durable and provides more traction. Bed liners are hollow underneath and will allow moisture to collect and rust out your vehicle where as a bed liner is like paint and bonds to the surface providing a water tight seal.

Answer 8

spray on, the drop in bed liners trap water underneath, causing rust. They tend to be slippery and can build up static electricity. Never fill a gas can that is in a drop in bead liner or get in or out of one while at a fuel station the static electricity can cause an explosion.

Answer 9

Drop in liner could cause rust. Go with a spray on liner. It may cost more but will save your paint job and body.

Answer 10

Spray on is better because water will not sit under it and rust the bed, it is a bit more expensive but cheaper if it prevents rust
