Expert Reply:
For your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, if your base rails are industry standard rails, then you can't reuse the brackets, but you can reuse the base rails as long as they are matching brands.
If your base rails are 48" long, you can use the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Brackets for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP56017.
If your rails are 42" long, you'll need a new kit, and you can use the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP56015-53.
