Since your 2018 GMC Sierra 2500 already has the item # BWGNRK1016-5W Turnoverball system installed, you will want the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider item # BWRVK3400-5W. This sliding hitch has a 20,000 lbs capacity and will give you 12" of travel for making tight turns.
I have linked a video below so you can see how to get this hitch set up.
To make towing with a 5th wheel easier I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness item # C56000. This harness puts a 7-way connector in the bed of your truck and allows you to keep the one on your bumper. This makes hooking up to your 5th wheel trailer easier and more convenient.
