Spray on- over the rail or under with the dealer rail caps?

[airtight_python]

I'd go with Line-X. Leave the factory bed caps. One day I want to go with Line-X, remove the bed caps and add a fiberglass tonneau. I think the bed caps are "snapped" into place in the "tie-down holes." Might be some adhesive but I'm not sure.

I have sprayed a few and if it's a little more of a job than you think if it's done right.

I prefer the drop-ins myself. I've seen alot of them rub through the paint underneath, but very little rust involved (it won't rust out in your lifetime). I've seen alot of sloppy installs done on spray-ins and I know drop-ins are slick, but if you also put a rubber mat in the bottom that will take care of that problem.

I've got an '03 Chevy right now that had a Line-x in it when I bought it, it looks great, but it's also nearly new. The spray-ins will fade and chalk with age, and if the truck isn't prepped properly, they will also peel.

My Line-x over the top was around $500 or so on a short bed here in St. Louis. I got the same thing from the Rhino people, it was as if they did not want my business. Line-x was an excellent Experience.
