The B and W bracket kit part # BWGNRM1057 is the correct bracket kit for your 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500 as it is what comes with the part # BWGNRK1057 which is the brackets and the hitch center section.

If you already had the part # BWGNRC959 then all you would need is the part # BWGNRM1057 that you referenced.

I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.
