hitch or spray liner first?
in a perfect world, is it better to have a 5'er hitch installed before or after a spray-in liner? If it matters - it would be for a BW companion hitch.

Just a word of caution. I had my liner put in, then installed the hitch myself. Since it was hot in the garage, I made the mistake of working in shorts and sandals. When I drilled one of the holes for the hitch, the flaming hot metal and liner material decided to spin off the drill and land between the bottom of my foot and the top of my sandal. Holy $&!T!!! I stood up real fast and hit my head on the rail for the garage door opener. Holy $&!T!!!
I think the combination of metal, liner material and friction got that little piece of debris up to about 3 jillion degrees. So I jumped out of the truck and put my foot in a five gallon bucket of cold water. Ahhhh, that's better. Just then the DW walked into the garage to see me with my foot in a bucket of water and my scalp bleeding. She just shook her head and walked back inside.
All in all, it was a great learning experience installing my own hitch.
Real sorry, couldn't help myself. LMAO at the virtual video of your spouse shaking her head and walking away. I have encountered those ahHa moments that at the time are not real funny by hindsight makes them hilarious. I trust your melon has healed. Thanks for the laugh.

Yep, all healed up! Then I went on to my next adventure of installing a 50 gallon replacement fuel tank. It resulted in this:
But it finally healed up too.
