Will a 4th generation, short bed ram bed liner fit a 3rd generation Ram short bed? The specs look identical but I'm not sure about the depth and wheel wells. Can anyone verify either way?

My most recent Ram needs a liner and I'm not a fan of the spray-in. Surprised to find that Google had nothing for me this morning.

 

I Googled and searched Ebay for a bedliner that would fit our 2008 shortbed and there were dozens of liners that were listed as 2002-2012 6.4' bed. So, I would think that yes, it should fit.

p.s. I've always used slip-in liners for my trucks and the new 08 Ram will be my first with Rhinoliner. It's not going to be used for work, but I am interested in seeing how it holds up relative to the slip-in liners I've had.

 

I've been considering the Rhino Liner too.... don't mean to pry but would you mind PMing me the price you paid? I've gotten estimates all over the freakin place for it... to the point I've considered doing it myself....

 

Sorry, it was installed by the original selling dealer. But, the sales manager said they charge $500 for spraying Rhinoliner on shortbeds when telling me what a great deal I was getting. They are an authorized Rhinoliner dealer, so I assume he was telling the truth.

 

I had a Rhino Liner in my previous Ram. It was pretty tough stuff and looked great. There was a little bit of UV fading but overall I have no complaints. But $500 for a spray-in vs. $50 for drop-in is a no-brainer to me, especially because I am going to abuse it.

If you want to save a buck you may want to try something like Duraliner Bed Armor or Herculiner. They are not the quality of Rhino Liner but for $80 it is not too shabby for a DIY. Just make sure you rough the surface before you apply it and get the UV protection.
