For a set of rails confirmed to fit your 2005 Chevy Silverado 2500 long bed and is compatible with the Reese Classic 14k hitch you have I recommend the Reese Custom Install kit part # RP50064-58. The advantage a custom fit kit like this has over a universal kit is that it install much easier since there isn't frame drilling required.

I attached an install video for this kit for you to check out as well. It will walk you through the entire process.
