Can Reese Elite Under-Bed Rails be Installed on Silverado with B&W Gooseneck Hitch

Question:

I have a 2015 Silverado 2500hd that the previous owner had a bandw goose neck hitch installed in and I want to put in a Reese underbed fifth wheel puck hitch and want to know if both can be installed at same time. BTW I have an air ride fifth wheel hitch that I want to use so I know I would need the puck to standard fifth wheel adapter.

The Reese Elite Under-Bed Rails and Installation Kit # RP30868 is confirmed to fit your 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500, but it cannot be installed with the B&W Gooseneck Hitch already in place This is because the two systems will use common mounting areas on the truck's frame. In order to install the Reese Elite System, the B&W Gooseneck Hitch will need to be removed first.

Then, for the rail adapter that will allow you to use your existing hitch (as long as it fits industry-standard, above-bed base rails), you will just need the Rail Adapter # RP30156.

I have attached a couple short video demonstrations on these products that you can also check out.
