5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Install Kit for a 2013 Chevy Silverado 3500 Long Bed Dually and Curt Hitch

Question:

I have a 2013 Chevy Silverado 3500HD dually with an 8ft bed. It has a plastic bedliner and has nothing currently installed. I have Curt Fifth Wheel Hitch Model #C16120. Which rail installation kit do I need to purchase?

For your 2013 Chevy Silverado 3500 long bed dually and Curt 5th wheel trailer hitch I recommend Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC - Carbide Finish Item # C16411-204. This is a custom fit installation kit which means you won't have to drill into the truck frame to install the frame brackets. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.

The bed liner will have to be trimmed because the 5th wheel rails need to have direct contact with the truck bed. Otherwise there can be fit issues or the rails could be able to move some if placed on top of the bed liner. I have linked a video showing an example of trimming a bed liner.
