I would recommend a custom fit Reese fifth wheel rail kit like part # RP56001-53 for your 2015 GMC Sierra 2500 as this kit is custom fit for your vehicle with outboard rails that will install much easier than a universal kit and will minimize drilling. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
These rails will fit the Reese hitch you have also.
Since you have a short bed truck I hope the hitch is a slider like part # RP30075 which will give you the clearance to make tight turns without truck cab interference.
