Expert Reply:

The Reese Fifth Wheel Installation Kit you mentioned, part # RP50066-58 would be the correct install kit for your 2012 Chevy Silverado 3500 Dually.

The bed rails that the hitch attaches to and the mounting brackets that attach to the truck frame as well as all necessary installation hardware is included.

If you were only needing the frame brackets and the hardware for attaching them, you would use part # RP50066.

I have linked you to the installation instructions as well as to an installation video that you might find helpful.
