Why LINE-X?
LINE-X is the only company that actually develops and controls manufacturing of its own material, guaranteeing consistent and reliable products with the highest quality control. The material is design to dry to the touch in a manner of seconds which allows an even distribution of material (i.e. the peak, valleys, and vertical surfaces are even thickness with out runs or sags). Additionally, LINE-X uses a high temperature, high pressure system that yields a durable factory looking finish. We encourage you to take a look at the competition. Not so sure if our competition would say the same! Take a look at the LINE-X Advantage.
Does LINE-X interfere with installation of other accessories (i.e. campers, fifth wheels, etc)?
Generally, there should be no problem with the install of other accessories. If you have an accessory whose installation tolerance is less than 1/4", please be sure to discuss it with your local dealer. LINE-X goes extremely well with fifth wheels. You can first get the truck bed coated and then install the fifth wheel plate. Some dealers will even coat the plate for you as an added benefit.

Will the bed feel hotter than the rest of my truck?
