I robbed this from another thread. If you look closely the little pads are adjustable from side to side on this hitch with slotted holes in the hitch base.

Best use for a drop in bed liner is to put it upside down and let some farm animal use it for shelter.
They make a heck of a multi-person snow sled also.....
In all seriousness though, does or can someone get a picture of the under side of a Companion hitch. Also, how thick are the little adjustable feet that rest on the bed and their dimensions? I'm brain storming here. I hate the drop-ins too but I got what I got and first things first, I need a hitch and I would really like to make the B&W work and work correctly with the bed liner I have at the moment.

My new truck has a drop in liner in the bed. Will a Companion work without cutting the bed liner? I know I will have to cut it for the ball to come through but didn't know if there was an adjustment on the Companion to allow for the thickness of the bed liner.
As the others have said, no way do you want to use a drop-in bed liner with the Companion. Get a spray-in. Also, if you're using the Turnover Ball, and want to have the ability to use the GN hitch, you will need to have the 5 1/2" holes for the safety chain hold-downs drilled in the bed as well as the center 4" hole for the ball. Almost all states require safety chains when using any sort of ball hitch. I don't think it's one of those things that you can skate by with as a "my home state" exemption.

LOL! I know you're right, I just wanted to say I bet I've only seen one or two trailers in my state that still has the chains on. HAHAHA! I know nun of ours do.:S
