Line-A-Bed Bedliner is loaded with features and delivers superior truck bed protection at an affordable price. Each STK Over-Rail and Under-Rail Bedliner is custom-designed for a factory perfect fit in domestic and import pickups. These Bedliners are molded of durable, high density polyethylene (thermoformed) with skid resistant technology, to last as long as your truck.

Outlined below are some things to consider when comparing an STK drop-in bedliner to a spray-on bedliner.

- Protection from a Drop-In Bedliner

- vs. a Spray-In Bedliner
* Prone to damage from dents

* Molded-in supports for 2-tier stacking and lock-in loading
- vs. Spray-In Bedliner

* May prohibit use of original equipment features like 2-tier stacking

- vs. a Spray-In Bedliner
