ChevCase let me tell what is wrong with slip in (simple) bedliners. 1)they retain water between the liner and the truck thus promoting rust which will be serious in about 5 years. 2)they're made of plastic and with just a little frost and a slight up grade will unload the truck. Had it happen twice with a load of lumber, laid that load right on the ground. Spray on liners don't do either of these and they should not have air pockets. Now let's talk about undercoating. If the plan is to trade vehicles every 5 to 7 years, as the manufacturers want you to, then undercoating is unnecessary. However if the plan is to keep the vehicle 10+ years it becomes a different story. Don't believe me? look at ten yeat old trucks with the bottom rusted out of the tailgate or the seam along the sides showing rust. I had a Jeep with the good Dana axles and undercoated, had no rust on the body but after 10 years getting work done on the axles had increased cost just due to the accumulated rust and that truck was garaged.
