Yes, you can use your Reese slider 5th wheel trailer hitch in your 2011 Chevy Silverado 2500. The slider base fits industry standard above the bed rails. For an installation kit I recommend a custom install kit over a universal one because there is less drilling needed and it takes less time to install a custom kit.

For a Reese custom kit you can use # RP50066-58. I have included a link to a video showing how this kit installs.

If you wanted to go with a universal kit you can use # RP30035 but you will have to drill into the truck frame for installation.
