The Demco Hijacker Premier Series Ultra Slide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch like # DM6076P-UL-16K is compatible with industry standard fifth wheel rails such as those manufactured by Draw-Tite, Valley, Demco, Curt, Hidden Hitch, Reese and others, so the hitch will work perfectly with the Curt Mounting Bracket/Bed rail kit.

If you have a 2016 GMC Sierra 2500, you'll want to use the # C16411-204 bracket/rail kit, as the bracket kit you'd looked at only fits the 1999-2010 Sierra 2500 models.

Most fifth wheel rails are made to the same industry standard dimensions. They aren't all though. If you measure 22 inches on center between the two rails and they look like the rails of the #RP30035 that you referenced they would be the industry…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
