Expert Reply:
In order to convert your Companion Hitch # BWRVK3500-5W From your 2016 GMC Sierra 2500 (8-foot bed without OEM Prep) to your 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500 (8-foot bed with OEM prep), you will need the Replacement Base for B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC # BWRVB3710. The adapter rails # BWGNRK1016-5W you had to use with your Sierra 2500 will not be used on your Silverado 2500.
