I just had a Line-X treatment done on my 2019 about a month ago. No issues or separation. For $135 for 2 wheel wells, I don't know why I would go a different route than this. I think preparation is key here, and a dry, clean surface for the product to bond to is key.
Did they cover all wheel wells? The linex place i went to told me that they can only do 80% because their gun spay is long and they would not be able to reach the tight places so the rest would be cover with rustproofing formula but not linex...

Just had mine Line-X as well. Also had the Skid plate Line-Xed. Looks awesome!!
I went to get linex and they put something else because they told me that linex gun spay was to long and they can only do partial with linex. Did they do all wells with linex?

U should of wrap your whole raptor in linex like this guy did but in his case it was all red... the whole car was cover in red linex and car was in the accident so the new owner didn’t like the red (wonder why lol) When I was in the shop they were removing the whole thing. Hey this raptor came with 6.7 power stroke :)

Just curious .. what's the fitment issue with the regular F150 (OEM) wheel well liners on a Raptor?

I get the issue with the shocks but other than that would the liner fit?

If you took a OEM wheel well liner and cut the shock location out ... Would it work?

Or is there a bigger issue with the wheel well being wider than a regular F150?

I take possession of my new 2018 on Friday and this was going to be the first issue I looked at.

The rear wheel house is different between the F150 and Raptor. The Raptor being larger.

the oem liners by Ford for f150 are to short. Husky is the only company for now that makes wheel well guards for raptor. They cover shocks and people are complaining that they rub against shocks and they are also flappy. U might need second set of screws and u better off cutting the way for the shocks (check the above post for pics).

My truck is white so that really irritates me that there is nothing there. Especially this truck is made for abuse so first off-road trip will beat the hell out of it and I’m really surprised that ford left out on stuff like that. These are essentials for the truck or any car...

My Dealer's reason was so that we can see the rear high performance suspension.
:shrug:

I already bought the Raptor Husky Liners so I'll post install pics and any mods needed.

Yes - I’m just talking the rear wells, not the front. From my understanding, they removed the wheels, put the car up on the lift, taped off everything and sprayed the wells. As far as I can see, the wells are covered completely.
