The Demco Hijacker Custom Rail Kit, part # DM8552011-71, does not require drilling into the frame when installing. It uses existing holes that are already in the frame of your 2016 Chevrolet 2500.
The Demco Hijacker Autoslide, part # DM8550035 will work great in your truck with the 6-1/2 ft bed. This fifth wheel features a single, wraparound jaw that gives you less rattle, and the pivoting head helps to limit chucking. This hitch has a 21,000-lb gross towing weight capacity.
I have attached a link to a product review video for this hitch you can check out.
