If you're planning on using a hitch that's compatible with industry standard base rails, Curt, Husky, Demco and Reese offer base rail/bracket kits that are compatible with your truck. It's not necessary that the hitch and the bed rails be from the same manufacturer, but you DO want to purchase the bed rails and frame brackets as a set.

Of the available rails, Curt's # C16430-204 would be a good economical option. The frame brackets would utilize existing holes in the truck frame, so you wouldn't need to drill into the frame.

If you don't already have the 7-way trailer connector installed in the bed of the truck, you can do so using part # 41157.

I've linked you to install videos for the frame brackets/bed rails and the wiring harness.
