The Reese Elite Series Pop-In Ball Kit, Item # RP30137, that you reference is an underbed gooseneck hitch designed for the Ford Super Duty and the Nissan Titan XD. For your 2016 GMC Sierra 2500, your options are:

If you have a 6-1/2 foot or 8 foot bed with a factory rail kit, you need something like the Curt Ball and Safety Chain Loop Kit, Item # C60692. This kit works with factory-installed gooseneck hitches and has a pop-in ball that fits snugly in gooseneck receiver and is easy to insert and remove. The rubber cover keeps dirt and debris out of ball hole when ball is not in place. It has a maximum towing capacity of 30,000-lbs and actual capacity is limited by your hitch. If you need it, I recommend the Curt Custom Wiring Harness, Item # C56000, so that your towing experience is easier.

If you have a 6-1/2 foot or 8 foot bed without a factory rail kit, you need something like the Draw-Tite Hide-A-Goose Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with Installation Kit, Item # 9465-56. This kit provides a heavy-duty underbed hitch and the ability to have complete truck bed access when you are not towing. The cover protects the ball hole from dirt and grime. It has a maximum towing capacity of 30,000-lbs and the installation rails are rated for 22,000-lbs so this will be your actual capacity. If you need it, I recommend the Curt Wiring Harness, Item # C56000, so that your towing experience is easier.
