You don't need a rail kit, you just need a hitch like the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20K item # BWRVK3775 that secures inside the pucks of your 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500's factory tow package. The Companion slider is one of the best sliding 5th wheel hitches on the market. It has a 20,000 lbs capacity and is made right here in the USA. The 1" thick dual jaws provide 360-degree jaw-to-king-pin contact. This results in less rattle and more security than slide-bar jaws.

The B&W Companion Slider weighs over 250 lbs. If that's not something you're interested in moving by yourself and don't want to have to rely on someone to help you then I recommend purchasing the B&W 5th Wheel Lifting Device for Companion and Patriot Hitches item # BWRVXA3130. This heavy duty steel tool lets you lift your B&W 5th-wheel hitch from your truck bed with a hoist. The 5th-Wheel jaws clamp around the device for a secure grip.

Don't forget your lube plate. The Lube Plate for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10" Diameter item # RP83002 will prevent scratches on your fifth-wheel's skid plate and ease trailer hookup.
