If you look in the bed of your truck right now and only see a completely empty truck bed without any holes or pucks then you do not have the OEM rail kit so the correct Turnoverball would be the # BWGNRK1016. Most likely this is the case as you'd most likely have noticed the ball hole if it was there.
If instead you did have the OEM rail kit you'd just need the ball part # BWGNXA2061 and you'd be set.
