Can Curt Rails Install In 2018 Ford F-150 With Bed Liner
Question:
Do I need to remove my F150 OEM Bed Liner to install the above bed rail kit for the Curt A20 w/ R20 Slider 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch?
asked by: Francis J
Expert Reply:
Hi Francis; the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C57008 can be installed with a bed liner. However, the installation process depends on the type of bed liner. If it is plastic it must be trimmed for metal to metal contact. If it is a spray-on liner then no modification is required. With the bed rails installed you will be able to use the # C16541.
