I may have a solution for you, however there is not a gooseneck hitch available that will work in conjunction with the Demco Under-Bed Rails for your 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500.

If you don't yet have the Demco rails installed, and are looking for an under-bed system that allows for both gooseneck and fifth-wheel towing, I instead recommend the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3400-5W, along with the Underbed Installation Kit # BWGNRK1012-5W. The Companion sliding hitch is considered by many to be the best unit on the market. Its 1 inch thick dual jaws will provide a superior connection with the trailer and the fully articulating head will ease hookup. It features a 20,000 pound towing capacity.

The great thing about this setup is that the under-bed installation kit mentioned above doubles as a gooseneck trailer hitch when the fifth-wheel hitch is removed, with a towing capacity of 30,000 pounds on its own. The 2-5/16 inch hitch ball is included.

I have attached a short video demonstration on this setup that you can also take a look at.
