Question:
Looking at a fifth wheel camper and wanted to price out some of the other things needed. Looking at the curt hitches. We have a 2024 Chevy 2500HD LT already puck prepped but the 6 10 bed and looking a a cougar half ton fifth wheel. Figured we would need the C88KR, C58FJ, and 16721 nylon disk. Wanted to confirm or see if there were other suggestions.

Welcome back Anthony! The Curt parts you were looking at are compatible with your Silverado and each other but I recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider item # BWRVK3775.
The B&W Companion w/ Slider item # BWRVK3775 is one of the best 5th wheel hitches on the market. It's got legs built into the base that'll attach directly to your Silverado's pucks. This system doesn't require the use of an adapter like the Curt item # C88KR, so you have less parts to worry about.
The Curt item # C88KR adapter will also raise the height of the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider item # C58FJ by 3-1/2". This means the hitch height will be 21" - 25" instead of 17" - 19" high with the Companion item # BWRVK3775.
With how tall the Silverado 2500's are this additional height will most likely give your 5th wheel trailer a nose up stance when towing. Not sure which one you're looking at though but I highly recommend checking the kingpin height from the ground.
The Companion item # BWRVK3775 also has thicker cast 1" jaws that surround the kingpin for a better more secure connection. The Curt A16 item # C58FJ uses 360-degree interlocking dual jaws that focus more on shock absorption. The Companion uses polyurethane bushings under the coupler to absorb road shock and minimize chucking.
At the end of the day you'll also save quite a bit of money going with the B&W Companion w/ Slider item # BWRVK3775.
The Curt Lube Plate for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches item # 16721 is a great option for both hitches.
