Yup, thats what its for. If I had a 2WD I'd have one for sure. No need to store a bunch of wood and sand in the summer (or buy them every year), when you could just drain it out, fold it up and store it.
Or you could just mix some antifreeze or windshield washer fluid in it to keep from freezing. At least with it frozen, there isn't a chance of sloshing around.

i would honestly strongly discourage screwing it to the bedliner. if you put the cross braces in its not gonna move at all. screwing it in will allow moisture to get in there real easy and rust it out quick. the last thing you want is a bunch of holes in the bed.
build the frame, put the bags in (stacked if you can, otherwise lengthwise is ok), and see if it moves. If you make all your measurements right, it wont move a bit (i've done this before). if for some reason it does move, you didnt build it right (no offense implied). Make your decision then if you want to screw it down
