Question:
I have a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD Crew Cab w/ 6 1/2 Ft bed. This truck has a 6 inch lift and after a few necessary adjustments to my standard 5th wheel to “partially” level my trailer it ended up putting me too close too my bed rails and still sits too high in the front. Are there any low profile slider hitches out there that would help to correct this problem?

For your 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500 with the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # RP50066-58, the lowest-profile sliding 5th wheel hitch is from Reese:
- Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider # C95DR
This has a height setting that is 14 inches at its lowest, which is lower than any other hitch for your Chevy. This will give you the best opportunity to tow as level as possible.
