I have three options for your 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD. For this you can choose from universal brackets like part # RP30035, inboard brackets like part # RP50066-58, or outboard brackets like part # RP56001-53. All three of these options are a confirmed fit for your Silverado 2500HD.

The universal brackets will require drilling into the frame whereas the custom brackets will not. However, if you have overload leaf springs (see photo) then you will want to use the universal brackets as the custom brackets will not work on models with the overload leaf springs. The only difference between the inboard and outboard kit is that the inboard kit requires access to inside the frame rail for installation whereas the outboard kit does not. The outboard kit will be easier to install than the inboard kit.

If you just need the frame brackets then you can use part # RP30439 for universal, part # RP50066 for inboard, or part # RP56001 for outboard.

Thank you for the photo of your 2016 Ram 3500's bed rail which sits 59-inches above ground. You are correct that the recommended minimum clearance between a bed rail and the underside of the trailer's overhang is 5 to 6-inches, as shown in…
