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.

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

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.
picked mine up at O'Reilly s.

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.

@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…
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.

Thanks, that does help. I'm torn trying to choose 5100's or the aftermarket drive shaft next. On the highway, it feels like all 4 wheels are out of balance. Pretty annoying.

We ordered ours last nov and it came the beginning of april. They told us to expect it to take a year. It's my wife's dd and she loves it. It will be worth the wait.
