You may also consider installing a bed mat. It will fit underneath the hitch rails in the bed. I did that. My mat is about 3/8" thick.
But here's the secret. Do NOT cut holes in the bed mat, where the mount posts come up. Instead, make 3 knife cuts in the mat to form a flap that folds up for each of the mount posts to come thru. Then when you do remove the in bed rails, the flaps fold down over the holes. And you won't see any evidence that there was a ever a hitch installed. Looks like a new bed mat.
