To install the B and W Fifth Wheel Rail kit part # BWRVK2402 and the Patriot Slider hitch part # BWRVK3270 you would need to remove a portion of the bed liner so that the rails can attach directly to the truck bed. You would not be able to have a rubber mat between the rails and the truck bed either.
