The Reese Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit item # RP30868 is confirmed to fit your 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500. This system is the same one that Ford uses in their factory prep package. It is also available with a gooseneck hitch item # RP30158-68.
The Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch item # C88KR will fit the Ford pattern and provide you with a set of industry standard rails for your Reese item # RP30047. This adapter will add 2-1/2" of height to your 5th-wheel hitch when it is installed.
I have linked a couple of installation videos below and attached a picture that will show you what this adapter looks like once installed.
To make towing with a 5th wheel easier I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector - 10' Long item # To make towing with a 5th wheel easier I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector - 10' Long item # C56000.
