Hey Leon! Your 23" bed depth is typical for newer Silverado 1500 trucks and will not cause a clearance issue. The Demco Autoslide # DM94AV has adjustable height settings of 15-1/4", 16-1/2", or 18" to help you achieve the recommended 5"–6" of clearance between the bed rails and the trailer. As long as your trailer is set up at the proper height you won't have any issues.

What 5th wheel are you towing?

@LeonC the Autoslide will be perfect for towing that 5th wheel. Once you get the rails installed you'll be ready to go.

@LeonC yes, the brackets and rails are included with the # DM94AV. The only other thing you might need is # C53CR if you want to add a 7-way to your truck bed.
