If you are looking for an installation kit for your truck, you can use the Reese Fifth Wheel Installation Kit, part # RP30035. This is a universal installation kit that is designed to work with your RBW Li'l Rocker Hitch Fifth Wheel Hitch. The installation instructions link is on the right side of the page for this kit.

The correct rail kit to install your Reese 15k Fifth Wheel trailer hitch would be the Reese Rail Kit part # RP30035. When you install this rail kit the king pin of your trailer will sit 4 inches in front of the center of your rear axle.
The rear rail will be 32-1/2 inches from the rear edge of the truck bed. view full answer...
I attached links to the universal fifth wheel rails part # RP30035 and the custom install rail kit part # RP50064-58. The custom install kit will be easier to install than the universal kit as it will minimize drilling and install time.

To install a fifth wheel hitch on your 2010 GMC Sierra 1500 with a 6-1/2 foot bed, you will need to use a fifth wheel hitch with a slider. The slider is used to eliminate clearance problems between the truck cab and the fifth wheel trailer on slow speed turns.
The Reese 16K Fifth Wheel Hitch, # RP30047 you have referenced is a fixed hitch and will not give you the clearance you will need to tow a fifth wheel with a 6-1/2 foot bed.

For the 2011 Ford F-150 the fifth-wheel hitch installation kits we carry do not require the truck bed to be lifted to install. I spoke to one of our installers here, and he informed me that they have removed truck beds before for ease of installation, but it would specify so in the instructions. If you were using a more universal installation kit, removal of the truck bed would be more likely for installation.
For your truck, I would recommend going with a custom installation kit like... view full answer...
For your 1999 Ford F-350 Super Duty Long Bed, the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit, part # RP50082-58, is the correct installation kit to install a fifth wheel hitch in the bed of your truck.
The measurement you will need to start the installation of the base rails in your truck bed is from the rear edge of the truck bed to the rear edge of the base rail closest to the tailgate. That measurement for a 1999 Ford F-350 Super Duty Long Bed is 32-1/4 inches. This... view full answer...
According to my technical contact at Reese it is not recommended to have both a gooseneck and fifth wheel hitch installed at the same time and to have both useable. The reason for this is exactly as you have indicated that the mounting hardware that secures both of the hitches to the truck uses the exact location on the truck frame. If you were to drill through the existing hardware in order to mount the fifth wheel hitch it could compromise the integrity of the gooseneck hitch. These hitches... view full answer...
We offer two different installation options for your 2003 Silverado. We offer a universal install kit, part # RP30035 or a custom vehicle specific installation kit, part # RP50064-58. These kits will work great with Reese Fifth Wheel Hitches.

Husky doesn't offer a fifth wheel hitch install kit compatible with the 2014 Ram 2500, but luckily enough, Reese does. I'd recommend their # RP50054-58 custom fifth wheel hitch install kit. The bed rails provided with the kit are compatible with fifth wheel hitches that use industry standard rails, like your Husky.
If you haven't already installed a 7-way trailer connector in the truck bed, you can do so with part # 41157. I've linked you to an install video for the in-bed trailer connector... view full answer...
The Reese # RP30035 fifth wheel hitch install kit is confirmed to fit your 2008 Silverado 2500HD.
Keep in mind that a universal kit like this will require drilling into the truck frame, which can add a considerable amount of time onto the install. A custom kit is available as part # RP50064-58 that would use existing frame holes, which will shave quite a bit of time off the installation.
As you have a short bed truck, be sure the # RP30854 fifth wheel hitch head you're using is mounted... view full answer...
The base rails for a fifth wheel hitch cannot be installed over plastic bed liners. Plastic bed liners must be cut out of the way to provide metal to metal contact. The base rails may be installed on a spray-in bed liner. I am including a link to an excellent video of trimming a bed liner for fifth wheel rails.
