I FINALLY got my Line-X spray bedliner today. You might recall before I posted a quote of $775 or thereabouts for the premium but I drove a little further and got it for $597. It's glossier than I expected, but its fine. I'm sure the shine will level out over time. Only took them about 90 minutes.

Looks great! And saved money over your original estimate! I like how they do over the edge of the sides of the tailgate.

We are definitely in the Ford family. My wife ordered a bronco last year and came in April.
@AzScorpion will not like hearing that you got you Bronco 6 months ago. I mean, he will be glad for you, but the frustration with Ford…

Yes, you can flip it over. I did that for a while, but it leaves the entire valve stem exposed. So I flipped it back over and put the extension on. Just me, probably six one hand or half dozen the other.
I don't off-road, so maybe the valve stem will be okay, but the more direct exposure to road salt might be a bigger issue. I'm going to look into the valve extender you talk about, I've never looked at them.

So is Line X the way to go?
Have always got a Ford Bed liner for my F150s?

The unpainted bed was getting scratched up just hauling really light things around the plastic bedliners promote rust underneath them. It seemed to me this was the only way to go. I'm pretty sure this will hold up well over time. I paid extra for the premium because I did not want it to fade to a light gray.

I understand people being frustrated. While I was at the dealership talking about ours coming in, a guy there had been waiting 2 years. Ours took 5 months, I have no idea how we got it so fast.

I remember this YouTube video comparing Line-x to factory Ford removal. Convinced me the Line-x Is better at the least.

After reading all the info for a year... You guys/gals are awesome... Finally put on Bilstein 5100s front and rear with Toyo At3s... Wow!
Compared to stock, what is the difference in ride now with the 5100's? I've had a hard time getting a clear explantion here. Most people say "better" well yeah, but specifically how? Whats different?

For me I have less rear end head knocking bounce over imperfections, ruts, pot holes, railroad tracks etc. The ride is planted and controlled and I definitely feel more response in cornering. I'm on a farm and drive lots of loser dirt and pastures... But this is also my daily driver. My truck is overall more responsive and grounded and the ride feels very smooth. Hope that helps.
