Helpful Expert Reply:
For your 2016 Chevy Silverado 3500 with a short bed and no factory rail kit you are going to want the B and W Turnover Ball part # BWGNRK1016 as this is a 30k gooseneck hitch confirmed to fit your truck.
There is not drilling required to install this hitch either. The B and W hitches are considered by many to be the nicest hitches around. I recommend this setup for you highly.
Then if you wanted a slider hitch to fit this hitch you would want the # BWRVK3400 as well.
