Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for a 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500HD without Factory Rail Kit

Question:

Hi, I have a 2011 Silverado 2500HD with the 66inch bed and Im getting a 2016 Silverado 2500HD with the 66inch without the factory 5th wheel rails. My current 5th wheel hitch is a LilRocker. Can you tell me what Reese Rails and installation kit I will need to use my LilRocker hitch? Thank you,

For your 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500 short bed all you would need is a set of industry standard fifth wheel rails confirmed to fit the truck to allow you to use your RBW Lil Rocker hitch.

The easiest to install are going to be the Reese Outboard rail kit part # RP56001-53 which are a custom fit kit for your 2016 Silverado. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

For a 7-way to install in the bed of your truck to make connecting your trailer lights easier you would want the part # 41157. Most 7-ways will be at the rear of the truck near the bumper which doesn't work will with fifth wheel hitches.
