Expert Reply:
In order to install the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Square Tube Slider, # RP30051, in the bed of your 2003 GMC Sierra 2500, I recommend going with the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit, # RP50064-58. This custom kit uses vehicle-specific brackets that mount to existing holes in your truck's frame which means less drilling required for installation. This basically cuts installation time in half compared to the universal kits.
