Question:

Any tips on determining spray in bed liner thickness? Looking to install a Bandw gooseneck, but unsure how to adjust measurements for bedliner.

Spray-in bed liners are typically only about 1/16". I reached out to my contact at B&W who said that when you install the Gooseneck Hitch # BWGNRK1016 on your 2016 GMC Sierra 2500 you can just use the same measurements for the 4" hole location as if you didn't have a bed liner. So for a long bed the center of the hole will be 49-1/2" from the rear of the truck bed but that is reduced to 44-3/4" for a short bed.

Attached is an installation video of the same B&W gooseneck hitch being installed on a 2016 Sierra 3500 that you can reference.
