Instead of putting the bedliner back in, I’d suggest coating the bed with Line-X. Well worth the investment

Raptor liner for sure. About as close to the big boys bed spray on's u can get for 100$. Those slide in liners will cause rust underneath. U must not get as much rain there as in Florida because it would be a real holy truck. Lol

No bed liner but bed coat like others are saying. I've installed 3 B&Ws. One on my 2nd gen, one on my 3rd gen and one on a buddy's megacab. I always unbolted one side of the bed and used a widowmaker and wood block to give more space. Did the same thing with the strap. Each took more than 90 minutes but I would do it again. Good part is i can use my Companion 5th wheel hitch and no rails in my bed. You'll be very pleased.

As you probably know, the B&W Companion 5th Wheel hitch drops in the same socket. I feel sorry for the guys laying under the truck every time they have to install/uninstall a conventional 5er.

B&W turn over ball.👍🏻 Drill a 4” hole in the inner fender liner for the release rod. No airbags on my 2nd Gen. I installed a Timbren system, instead. Works great when towing the fifth wheel. I Rhino Lined my bed. The previous owner had the plastic liner like yours. It prevented dents, but the spray on liner looks and works so much better. Besides, I have an Andersen Ultimate fifth wheel hitch, so the plastic insert liner wouldn’t work well.

I would really recommend get a good spray in liner now. Keeps it from rusting cargo doesn't slide around and its a lot safer for you. If you don't know what i'm talking about get little snow in that plastic liner then try to stand in it its like glare ice zero traction. Great video I wondered how hard it is to install one of these hitches.

Installed several under bed hitches at my previous job at a local Hitch Shop. I personally prefer the Curt "Hide-a-goose" as it's the same idea as a B&W but much more affordable, has the 30K rating, but it actually has a Dual Latch system making it twice as secure than the single pin latch the B&W uses. Just my opinion though. As far as a test goes, it'd be cool to see just for shits and giggles to hook your new trailer up to this truck without the airbags and load your 5500 on it (not to actually tow it down the road) but to just see how much the 2500 squats with a heavy ass load like that hooked to it. Be pretty interesting to see how strong the 2500 springs actually are.

Despite what people are saying about LineX or any other spray in liner, don’t do it. First they grind out the paint to stick and destroy the bed. Once water gets between the bed and liner hello rust and goodby bed. Happened to mine and my body shop friend says and has seen this to many times. Found the last new take off bed in the free world. In the end I used the Bed Rug full kit. Check it out, is really durable, I really like it. Sam would like your feedback. Truck is coming along great.

Every time I put on a goose neck on a truck that's new to me, I have to find it's comfort zone in weight. I'd haul some logs with it. Increase the weight slowly to find a butter zone of sorts. I'm sure the motor will be happier than the brakes and suspension with the heavy weight. 15k is about all I see in the hills without modifying it.

I'm looking at towing upto 20k for the trailer which is over the tow rating of the g56.

Color matched Spray on bed liner with a rubber mat over top of it... Spray in is great but it doesn't do a whole lot to stop denting. The rubber mat really helps and it quiets things down. You can get them from about any truck website. realtrucks.com is where I got mine. Made to fit your model and year of truck for around 100 bucks. Cheaper than buying stall mats and cutting them to fit. Its heavy enough you don't even have to secure it down. I just threw mine in my truck and its been in there since I got it.
