Would Elite Fifth Wheel Pucks Be As Far Apart as Standard Fifth Wheel Rails

Question:

Couple questions. I am currently using a 16k Husky 5th wheel hitch slider with above bed rails. I am needing to upgrade as I have upgraded my 5th wheel trailer to a toy hauler and I am reaching the capacity of the hitch. I am also interested in changing to below bed rails as the above bed seems to always be in the way. 1. Will the holes I have for the above bed rails be in the same location as the puck holes for the below bed rails. Hoping that the below bed rail holes will overlap the existing holes. 2. I am also looking at the Reese slider hitch with the below bed rails. Are each of the below bed rails compatible with the different 5th wheel hitches? 3. do they work with a spray in bed liner?

The pucks of the Reese Under Bed rail kit part # RP30126 that would be recommended for you r2012 Ford F-350 with a short bed will be right at 13 inches apart from front to back and the current rails you have will be 22 inches apart so the holes would not end up overlapping.

The 18k Slider hitch you would need would be part # RP30144 though.

A bed liner would not be an issue either.
