Yes, we have fifth-wheel installation kits for your 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Xtra Cab. There are several different kits to choose from, and I will list each one for you.

In the custom install category we have the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit, # RP50064-58, the CURT Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit, # C16412-104, and the Valley Custom Installation Kit, # V55091R. These kits are custom install kits that require less drilling into the truck frame, and therefore less installation time, than the universal install kits and I would recommend going with this style. We have a video showing installation of the Reese kit on a 2004 Silverado that should be very helpful, see link.

In the Universal install category we have the Reese Universal Installation Kit, # RP30035, the CURT Universal Installation Kit, # C16200, and the Valley Universal Installation Kit, # V70550. These kits are designed to work on most trucks and require significantly more drilling into the trucks frame for installation.

Once you have selected an install kit, you will need to select a fifth-wheel hitch. I have added a link to all of the fifth-wheel hitches we carry for you to select from. You should select a hitch that is compatible with the weight capacities of your truck and trailer and it would be a good idea to select a hitch from the same manufacturer as the install kit that you will be using.
