Expert Reply:
You will have no problem installing a B&W Turnoverball gooseneck hitch in your 1997 Ford F-350 with the Duraliner bedliner. You will have to cut through the bedliner for the hitch ball hole and for the safety chain loops. Also, if the bed liner is too tall to allow the gooseneck coupler to rotate properly you may need to cut a larger hole in the bed liner avoid interference from the bed liner while towing.
If your truck has overload springs, then the hitch that you will want is part # BWGNRK1110. If your truck does not have overload springs, then you will want part # BWGNRK1100. I have attached an article on gooseneck hitches and the installation instructions for you to check out.
