Question:

What hitch and mounting rails would you recommend. I see all the different adjustment heights. Not sure what I would need. I would also need a cable to extend electric hookup from the bumper ares to meet cable on trailer. Thanks

For a sliding fifth wheel hitch for your 2018 GMC Sierra 2500 short bed without the factory rail kit the best option is the Demco Hijacker Autoslide part # DM8550034 as it will slide automatically as you make tight turns.

Then for a rail kit that is confirmed as a fit for your truck you'd want a custom install kit part # DM8552011-71 which is going to minimize drilling and install time on your 2018 GMC Sierra 2500 when compared to a universal kit.
