Do carbides dig into the spray in bed liner? Does anyone have any tricks or suggestions on what to do to avoid damaging the spray in bed liner?

Yes they will damage the liner. I have had the hard plastic liner, the rubber bed mat an the spray in bed liner. I like the spray in liner the best. To protect the liner from carbides all you need is a couple of pieces of chipboard on each side. Like a 4" by 48" two times on each side. Works for me for years.

Get a couple of Caliber low pro ski guides and just lay them in the bed.
what do u guys do in your truck beds that warrants any extra effort? **** I use a rubber mat the box thats is gets totally pounded daily. and never had the used car manager say ohh that bed id scratched and dented up we are going to have to take this much off the trade.
I do heckle people when I see theses DB doing things like laying blankets down in the bed when they toss the kids bike in or at the hardware u see guys with cardboard in the bed loading a grill or bags of mulch. I blame them for the cost of trucks going through the roof.

If you saw how I take care of my trucks you'd laugh. Different people have different opinions.

I always had the plastic bed liners and never worried until this truck. This is my first time having a spray in bedliner and I had no choice in the option since it was done at the factory. Sorry if I want to keep the bed decent on my brand new truck that cost me a pretty penny.

ridiculous
why not use the plastic drop in on top of the spay in liner. Carbides slide on the plastic drop-ins very nice and they will protect that expensive spay in bed liner from ever being damaged!

The couple times I've hauled my sled in the truck bed I've thrown a pc of cardboard in for the skis to sit on. Works fine and doesn't damage the bedliner. For everything else I haul in there I just toss it in. But I agree with cuzzinolaf, why not take a minute to protect it a bit. Big investment in the truck and even the spray in bed liner.
Cuzz.....don't worry about it. I loaded the XF in the truck last season and the past couple with brand new carbides, just left a little line in the liner. It didn't cut into it, kinda like a scratch that will go away in the summer when you leave it out in the sun and liner softens again. Leave the truck out the night before you load, it will freeze solid. Then you can ice skates in the bed.
Besides that....it will be in my enclosed trailer anyway!

See what youse wants to do is keep a set of dose worn out carbides with you, you know, da ones that were brand new befores you took that short trip driving on dose great Illinois trails.
Take off your brand new carbides before loading in the truck and put on de worn out wons, dat way ye wont scratch up yer pretty spray-in bedliner. Then, whens you unload, just switch them back again. No scratches to dat pretty bedliner, and you also wont wear out dose expensive Bergstroms running dem over that tough plastic liner.
Simple!!
