The Cargo Management System is an option that GM offers for their trucks that includes tie-down rails installed on the walls of the truck bed to help secure cargo. If you are not familiar with the Cargo Management System, then it is likely that you do not have it on your truck.

We offer many truck bed mats for your 2008 Chevrolet Silverado so you will want to choose a mat that is compatible with your truck bed length and with plastic bed liners. If your truck has a 5-1/2 ft bed, then you will want to look at the Access Custom Truck Bed Mat, # A25020309, or the Bedrug Custom Mat, # BMC07CCD. Bedrug also offers the Tailgate Mat, # BMC07TG. These mats are custom cut to fit the length of your truck bed with a plastic liner installed.

If your truck has a 6-1/2 ft bed, then you will want to look at the Access Custom Mat, # A25020289, or the Bedrug Custom Mat, # BMC07SBD. The Bedrug tailgate mat that I mentioned above will fit both bed lengths.

All of the truck bed mats that I mentioned will fit in your truck bed with a plastic liner and with or without the cargo management system. The Access and Bedrug mats are very similar in design and either brand will fit well on your truck. The DeeZee Heavyweight Truck Bed Mat, # DZ86973, that you referenced is designed for trucks without bed liners and would require modification to fit properly in your truck bed.
