How Much of Bed Liner Would Need to Get Trimmed to Install Demco Hijacker for Ford OEM Rail Kit
Question:
I have a bed liner in my pick up. Do I have to cut out the entire square to install my hitch? Can i just cut out the circle where the pucks are? Thank you,

To ensure the Demco Hijacker Autoslide for Ford Rail Kits part # DM8550024 will fit the pucks of the factory rail kit of your 2019 Ford F-250 you'll want to cut out the perimeter of the pucks so that the hitch fits properly. If you wanted to minimize the trimming you could take the side brackets of the hitch (they ship uninstalled) and test fit them while you trim the bed liner to see exactly how much you could get away with leaving and not have it affect the fit of the hitch.
