For your 2015 Silverado 1500 Double Cab 4x4, I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50064-58. I've attached the installation details as well as a video to assist as they give you the measurements you need on page 2 with a diagram on page 9. This rail kit uses custom mounting brackets so there is no drilling into your frame required. For an 8 foot bed, you will measure from the rear of the bed to the back side of the front rail 52-3/8 inches.

If you are looking for a 5th wheel hitch as well, I recommend the Reese Titan 20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Serrated Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs # RP30867. This hitch secures the king pin of your trailer well with the serrated design and it has a really nice vibration dampener built into a cast pivot beam. It has a lockable handle with the option to use a padlock for increased security. It has an easy to see King Pin indicator to show you when you are ready to tow.

You may also consider the Bargman 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Plug - 9' Long # 50-97-410 to add a second 7-way wiring connection in the bed of your truck for easy connection.
