I have a 2020 chevy silverado 2500 and I have the reese 16k slider 5th wheel hitch. I need to know what rail kit I need.

We have a few options available. The first option would use a connection system that mounts under the truck bed. This fifth wheel hitch option is the Companion from B&W, which would consist of parts # BWRVK3400-5W hitch and # BWGNRK1020-5W mounting system. This set-up would allow you to tow either a fifth wheel or a gooseneck trailer, and wouldn't require drilling 10 holes through your brand-new truck bed (just one hole for the goosneck ball). Once the hitch is removed, your bed will be completely empty, without the rails sitting there. The B&W Companion is tops in quality and in customer satisfaction, you couldn't do any better in either regard.
Another option that would allow you to use your current hitch would be to install the Turnover Ball # BWGNRK1020-5W mounting system and use an adapter like # DM6140. This option would still allow you to have a completely empty bed once the hitch and adapter were removed.
If you'd prefer a standard bed rail set-up, Curt offers the # C16411-204 bed rail/frame bracket kit.
Or, if your truck already has the factory 'puck' system in it, and you're needing an adapter, to allow use of your Reese hitch, go with the Demco # DM6333.
To install a trailer connector in the truck bed, use # C56000. I've linked an install video showing how that's done.
