Looking to buy a hard bed liner are they 1 pc or are the topside rails separate. I think the rear gate is separate. saw one in local yard and had no top side rails. can the side rails be purchased ?

 

yes from the dealership

 

some bedliners are "under the rails"
some go over the rails. depends on the type you want.
most prefer the "under the rails" type, then get seperate rail protectors.

 

go spray on or roll on. those plastic POS ones are poo

i have a under rail with rail protectors on the way. the only think you need to remember about about under rails is it need s to be one that goes over the front of the bed. if it sits under the lip in the bed it will catch debris and rust out your bed. grab a ford one at pull-a-part.

 

or spray/roll-on one and not have to worry about anything getting between the liner and the bed.

to each their own but this is something i would spend the extra money on.

 

Check your local spray on shop. Around here they have plenty of drop in styles, they can't give them away. I drive by a Line-X all the time and they have piles of them. They gave one away no charge when I was there.

 

Drop-in, I'd just suggest getting a high quality liner. I've had several "Ford" liners and they never warp, but the one time I went with a cheap liner it warped. As for spray liner, Line-X is good...just make sure an idiot doesn't get behind the nozzle - last month I had two Ram trucks in my shop with Line-X liners and one looked new and the other was a putrid mixture of bubbles and peels. Never had a problem with Ford drop-ins in the last 21 years, see no need to ever change.
