I do have some options for you, however the bed rails for your RBW UHS-88-15-S Side Swivel 5th-Wheel Hitch are no longer available. The Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit # RP30035 and other industry standard rails that we offer are not compatible with your particular model RBW hitch.

For an economical solution to replace your 5th-wheel hitch for your 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with 6-1/2 foot bed, I recommend the Reese 16K # RP30051 along with Installation Rails # RP30035. This is a sliding fifth wheel hitch that moves the hitch and king pin 10 inches closer to the tailgate to increase turning clearance. This has a weight capacity of 16,000 pounds and vertical load limit of 3,750 pounds. The # RP30035 Rail Kit is a universal installation kit.

For a more premium, custom rail kit on your Silverado 1500, you can use # RP56007-53, which may cut installation time in half when compared to the universal kit.

I also recommend adding a 5th-Wheel Wiring Harness like the Bargman # 50-97-410. This easily installs to provide a 7-way connection in the bed of your truck for simple hookup with your trailer.

I have included video demonstrations of these products for your review.
