I have a whip mounted off of the top edge of my box. I too have a sprayed in bedliner. I bonded the box to the frame and then bonded the mount to the box via through the pocket hole. All the boxliner is still there. It was more than abit of a pain in the a$$ but I think worth it.

Back when I had a pickup, I mounted it like you are talking about.

Make sure you have good metal contact with the mount and that the bed is grounded. Some PU beds have rubber insulators. If your does, then bonding to the frame will be needed.
