Helpful Expert Reply:
If your 2018 Chevy Silverado 2500 has the 6-1/2 foot bed and isn't equipped with the factory pucks/rail kit, then I recommend the Demco Above-Bed Base Rails and Custom Installation Kit # DM8552011-71. This kit will include everything needed to attach the excellent Demco Hijacker # DM8550034 that you referenced to your Silverado. The custom brackets in the kit will use existing holes in the truck's frame to eliminate the need to drill into the frame during installation.
I have attached the written installation instructions, along with a short installation video on an earlier model Silverado that you can use for reference.
