5th Wheel Install Bracket/Rail Kit Recommended for Curt Q24 Hitch on 2018 Chevy Silverado 2500
Question:
Hello, looking to find out what product is the correct mounting kit for a Curt Q24, for a 2018 Chevy Silverado 2500HD short bed.

We sure do!
Although there are several different bracket/rail kits that'll work for your truck that would be compatible with the Curt Q24 5th wheel hitch, I'd recommend the Curt custom 5th wheel hitch bracket/rail kit, part # C16411-204, as the hitch was load tested using a Curt bracket/rail kit.
If you'd like to install a 7-way connector in the truck bed so you don't have to run the trailer connector harness up over the tailgate, you can install one using part # C56000.
The C16418-204 kit you'd looked at is a fit for earlier model Silverado trucks, and wouldn't be compatible with the frame of your 2018 model.
If you click the provided links, you can see some install videos that you might find helpful.
