The B&W Custom Mounting Brackets for Patriot 5th Wheel Above Bed Base Rails # BWRVR2503 is compatible with your B&W Patriot # BWRVK3255 and includes the custom fit mounting brackets and the necessary hardware to install those in your 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. It does not come with any U-bolts, nor are they required or part of the original installation hardware. The linked video at the bottom of the page goes over all the parts that are included with # BWRVR2503.

If you already have a set of above bed rails, which it sounds like you do, you'll need to use a bracket kit of the same brand as we do not recommend mixing manufacturers when it comes to brackets and rails. Sometimes, brackets will not exactly line up with the rails and this can be a problem which is why we recommend installing the brackets and rails from the same manufacturer, regardless of which one you choose.

If you'd like to use the complete B&W Custom Installation Kit with Base Rails and Custom Mounting Brackets, you'll need part # BWRVK2503. Otherwise, if you can tell me what brand your rails are, I can recommend the matching custom bracket kit. Installing the Patriot on any industry standard above bed rails from brands such as Curt, Pro Series or Husky, to name a few, will not be an issue at all.
