A,
I'm not Joe, but I am looking at a 4'x8' sheet foam board product with a foil facing called R-Max, R-Matte plus 3. Available from Lowes and Home Depot in 1/2, 3/4, 1, 1 1/2 and 2 inch thickness.
1 1/2 thickness will fill the cavity between the trusses ( if you remove all the OEM stuff first) and will supply an R rating approaching R-10. This is the best R rating for the thickness I have found in various insulation products.
I have removed the oem insulation from the ceiling and hope to start installing R-Max and new headliner this week. Unless some one on the net can supply a good reason not to use this product.
The foam is POLYISOCYANURATE- probably causes cancer in rats.
Any one have any comments, questions, or suggestions?
