Can Reese 16k Hitch Install in Curt 5th Wheel Rail C16411-204 Of 2011 Chevy Silverado 2500HD
Question:
Can I use the stationary Reese 30047, 16K 5th wheel hitch with custom rail kit C16411-204 on my 2011 Chevrolet 2500 HD, Crew can, 4 X 4 and 6.5 foot box? Or will need the slider 30051?

Expert Reply:
The Curt fifth wheel rail kit part # C16411-204 that you referenced is a fit for your 2011 Chevy Silverado 2500HD short bed and the Reese hitch part # RP30047 will fit it, but unless your trailer has a tapered nose designed for short bed clearance you'll need a slider since your bed is short.
The Reese 16k Slider part # RP30051 would be the better choice. This slider has a square tube, which a round tube slider like the part # RP30075 would be the better choice.
