The Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Slider Hitch, # RP30144, can be installed in the the Ford factory trailer hitch prep package as long as it is not more than 1/4 inch thick. You will need to determine how long it takes the spray in bedliner to cure before installing the hitch and towing.
The prep package from Ford should come with covers for the holes in the bed. But, every precaution will need to be taken to ensure nothing interferes with the mounting of the hitch.
I have included a link to the installation details for the hitch for you.
