Question:
will these fit a 30047 reese 16k hitch

Expert Reply:
No, they will not Mark. The Replacement Legs item # RP63FR only work with the Reese M5 hitches like the item # RP30928 for example.
The only way to mount the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # RP30047 in the puck system of a 2025 Silverado is to use the Adapter Rails item # C88KR. This adapter will drop down directly into the pucks and provide a base equivalent to industry standard rails. Please note it will add 3-1/2" of height to the height of your 5th wheel hitch.
We do have several Reese 5th wheel hitches that do mount directly to the GM puck system. They are the Reese M5 16k item # RP35KR, 20k item # RP26FR, 27k item # RP58FR.
What kind of 5th wheel trailer do you have?
