Spray in liner w/ 5th wheel

I am looking into the various spray in liners for the truck. My question is, is it better to leave the rails for the 5th wheel hitch left in prior to spraying the liner or remove the rails and re-install them after the liner is in. I have been told by the applicators that it makes no difference. Has anyone done this and which way did you go? Before the liner or after the liner.<br>Thanks<br>Hauler

I sprayed the bed, then had the rails sprayed separately and then put them back in. That way everything is coated with Linex. I even had them do the base of the hitch below the king pin plate.

Same here, bed sprayed and then rails installed. No problems yet. I have the Rhino Liner.
