The 2015 Chevy Silverado and 2016 Chevy Silverado use the same frame brackets so you can use them on your new truck. But you are not supposed to reuse the hardware because it is meant to be torqued down once. When the hardware is torqued down the bolts stretch so they won't fit the same a second time.

For the brackets the hardware is # RP56001F if you have install kit # RP56001-53. And for the rail hardware use # RP58504. I am having the rail hardware added to our site and it can take up to 48 hours to appear so you can order it.

If you have a different installation kit let me know what it is.
