*****************************

Yes, have the spray-in liner put in before the hitch rails are installed.

When you have the Reese type hitch rails installed, make sure they put bolts in the middle of each rail also, just for added stress protection. (some installers only put them on each end of the rails).

FWIW, when I bought my TrailerSaver "rigid hitch", TrailerSaver would increase the weight rating of the hitch by several thousand pounds, (either 2000 lbs or 4000 lbs, I don't remember which), if the installation included bolts in the center holes of the rails!!!!!!!!!!! So, that does assure us that center rail bolts surely means added strength for the installation, and for safety while towing!!

Good luck
