Some say that the bedliner inside the fenders helps with rock damage from gravel hitting the inside of the fender.

I just know that I want to cut down on heat and noise as much as I can this time around.
I have Raptor liner sprayed on the bottom of the cab and all the other surfaces you mentioned. I don’t think it did much for noise or heat but I’m really happy with it. It’s been about 7 years and it still looks great, no chips inside the fenders or anywhere else. I’m doing the same of my 64 Suburban.

I will do the same process for sound deadening on the Suburban too.
Only difference is I may use some closed cell foam or Noico Red in some areas instead of the foil carpet pad. Carpet pad can hold moisture, these won’t.
