5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation Kit for a 2013 Chevy Silverado 2500HD and Draw-Tite 15k Hitch

Question:

I have recently purchased a fifth wheel trailer which came with the draw tie 15k fifth wheel, also was supplied with the bed rails and hardware but no side brackets to attach it to the frame.I have a 2013 Chevy 2500 HD diesel Silverado . My question is which side brackets can I purchase to complete my install and would you recommend a new hardware kit ? keep in mind the trailer is a 2001 which the fifth wheel was purchased at that time as well. Thank you for your time.

For custom fit 5th wheel installation kit brackets for your 2013 Chevy Silverado 2500HD you can use # RP50066. These brackets also include the hardware to attach them to the frame of the truck. But you will also need the hardware to attach the above bed rails to the brackets, # RP58430. A complete kit is not necessary unless you also want new rails. If you do decide to go with a complete new kit it is # RP50066-58. I have included a link to the installation instructions and a video showing a typical installation for you.
