Hellooooo,
Both rail kits # RP50066-58 and # RP56001-53 are custom fit fifth wheel rail kits for your 2015 Chevy Silverado 3500. The main difference is the size of the rails and the bracket's install location. The part # RP56001-53 is an outboard kit which means the brackets are on the outsides of the truck frame making them much easier to install. The downside here is you end up with rails that are taller and longer.
The inboard rail kit part # RP50066-58 will give you smaller rails installed in your truck bed but the install will be a bit more difficult.
