Question:
what is the part number for the install rails and hardware for the rp30047 Reese pro series hitch for a 5th wheel. Our 5th wheel is a 2016 Open Range Light LF319RLS with patented gooseneck for short bed not requiring a slider hitch. To be installed in a 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 2WD Crew Cab Short Bed with max trailering package.

The base rails and installation kit I recommend to install the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30047 are the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Outboard Installation Kit # RP56007-53.
The outboard installation brackets help ease installation by avoiding underbed components. The custom install kit means that you won't need to drill any holes into the frame of your truck. I have attached an installation video of the base rails and installation kit on a 2009 Silverado for you.
I'm not exactly sure what you mean when you say you have a patented gooseneck. The fifth wheel hitch connects to the trailer with a king pin at the end of a pin box. If your trailer does not have a king pin, please send me a photo of your gooseneck and I will be happy to find a solution for you.
