Isn't the wheel well painted aluminum alloy ? I don't think you will be preventing any corrosion when the paint gets damaged by going with spray in line-x Might be just a waste of x-amount of money....

I must have misunderstood something earlier on... do the liners in this thread actually fit a 2019 Raptor with the live wire shocks? Has anyone tried them!
Thanks!

Yeah... i tried the Husky Liners and had a hell of a time. I decided i wasn’t willing to modify them to get it installed. I returned them and went with Line-x. Looks great and no regrets. I was also decided i didn’t care for the look as the liners covered the shocks. You can find a ton of info out here regarding the debate between the two options... really boils down to personal preference.

Full Disclosure: i work for a steel company that produces automotive exposed and unexposed carbon and stainless steel... so there might be some bias. And yes i got roasted when i showed up with a raptor containing quite a bit of Aluminum. But... Aluminum will absolutely corrode. Obviously not a red rust like carbon steel... but more of a white rust. I opted for the Line-X to really seal that area up. Frankly, i felt like they were basically primed and barely had overspray in terms of paint. I am very pleased with the new look and improved protection.

Well I called the LineX shop closest to me to schedule an appointment for the bed and they don’t do wheel wells. I am gonna try a few others in the area but may end up doing it myself or buying liners. Most likely spraying myself if I can’t fine a LineX shop to do it as from the pics I’ve seen I don’t like how much the liners cover the shocks

Out of 4 or 5 shops I called within about a 100 mile radius of me only 1 would even do my wheel wells and they wanted 500 bucks. I wish I would have thought about it/known and had it done when the bed was done. I had the bed done by Line-x at the dealership(2,000 miles from me) before I picked my truck up. I live in Norcal(bay area).
