Anyone put sound deadener in their wheel wells? If so did it make any difference? I'm asking because I have mine out for cleaning and since they're out.....

I didn't put sound deadener in mine when i had the wheel wells out but i did paint them with bed armor and it did help quite down the tire noise.

so far the bed armor has held up with no problems, it said on the can to not apply wen its humid out so i painted them in my basement with the dehumidifier set to 50 %. I have more than 5k on them since i painted them including driving in the rain and the roads around here can have a lot of gravel on them so i would say they are holding up real well.

I did the same thing about a year ago. I bought the stuff in the spray can(Rustoleum I think) about $7.00 a can. It really looks good because its black, not brown like some rubberized undercoatings. It has done really well. I cleaned the crap out of the inserts, roughed them up a bit, and cleaned with alcohol before spraying. Still looks like new. Even holds up to my pressure washer. Love it!
