In order to use the Demco 5th wheel trailer hitch # DM6076SL-FLAT you will need the proper installation kit for your 2008 Chevy Silverado 2500 short bed. The correct kit for the hitch and your truck is # DM8553004-12.
I also recommend installing a 7-Way trailer connector in the bed of the truck to make hooking up easier without the need for any extensions. You can use # 41157. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.
