Yes they do! I can confirm the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC # C16418-104 do fit your 2008 GMC Sierra 2500. These are the same as the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC # C16418-204, with the only difference between the two parts being the finish of the base rails:

- Gloss Black Finish: Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC - Gloss Finish # C16418-104

- Carbide Black Finish: Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC - Carbide Finish # C16418-204

Both options are a fantastic choice for your truck and I have added a link to an install video on a 2008 GMC Sierra for you to check out. If you need a hitch to match, I recommend the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16120 (16,000 lbs) or A20 # C16140.

The A-series of Curt hitch is great because of its sturdy dual jaw system which makes full contact with your king pin to give you a comfortable ride, and because its color-coded lock indicator makes the hitch easier to use than other hitches. I have added links to video reviews of both hitches for you to check out. Additionally, if you have the factory 7-way, the correct 5th wheel wiring harness for your '08 Sierra 2500 is the 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness # 50-97-410.

For your 2008 Chevy Silverado long bed the correct Curt custom bracket kit you would need is the part #C16418 and not the #C16413. If you need the rails as well use the kit #C16418-204.
