Expert Reply:
If your 2017 GMC Sierra 2500 doesn't have the factory puck system you will want the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails item # RP50066-58. This kit is custom fit and installs in pre-drilled holes in your trucks frame. This cuts down on install time over the universal kit item # RP30035 you were looking at. This fits both the 6-1/2' and 8' bed models and is compatible with Reese 5th wheel hitches.
If your 2017 Sierra 2500 has the factory puck system you will need the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch item # C47BR. This system drops into the pucks and provides a base for your Reese hitch.
