Reese Quick Install 5th Wheel Bracket Kit Recommendation

Question:

I have a 2011 4 door 4x4 chevrolet silverado 2500 with a 6 1/2 foot bed. I took my reese bed rails out of my 2010 chev. 1500 when I traded trucks. They were installed with the black brackets drilled thru the frame. What custom quick install bracket kit will I need to purchase for 2011 and does the hardware come with the kit? I have my rails and the hardware to install the rails. I purchased a reese 16k hitch from you earlier to use with my reese sidewinder on my camper.

The Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit # RP50066 that you referenced would be the correct custom bracket kit for your 2011 Chevy Silverado 2500 with a 6-1/2 foot bed. This comes with all the necessary hardware to install the brackets to the frame of your vehicle.

I would strongly recommend you get new installation hardware for the rails also as your old setup has already been torqued down. For that you would want a Replacement Hardware Kit # RP58430.
