Question:
Is this a complete kit? Frame brackets, bed brackets, etc or do I need to purchase something additionally?

Hey Steve,
Thanks for your questions and for giving us the opportunity to help!
The B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Slider for Chevy/GMC - Dual Jaw - 18,000 lbs (#BW27XR) is a complete installation kit for your 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500. In addition to the B&W Patriot 5th wheel hitch, it includes the universal above-bed base rails, vehicle-specific under-bed frame brackets, and all of the necessary installation hardware. I've also included a couple of photos showing everything that's included. Installation of the Patriot Slider hitch does requires a large torque wrench capable of measuring 110 ft-lbs.
This kit is designed specifically for a 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500 with a 6-1/2-foot bed that does not have the OEM Fifth Wheel Prep Package (also known as the puck system). If that's your truck, it's hard to beat B&W for quality, durability, and towing performance.
If your truck has a different bed length or is equipped with the OEM prep package, just let me know and I'd be happy to recommend the correct setup.
Are you replacing an existing fifth wheel hitch, or is this your first time setting one up?
