Since your 2008 Chevrolet Silverado has the short bed, you will need a fifth wheel with a slider. This will ensure that you have no clearance issues while turning. Please let me know what you are planning on towing and I would be glad to make a suggestion for you. The installation kit you will need to install the fifth wheel is either the # RP50064-58 custom install kit or the # RP30035 universal install kit.
The custom install kit is much easier to install and requires less drilling than the universal kit.
