Expert Reply:
Yes, the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550034 that you referenced will fit industry standard fifth wheel rails like the what come with the # RP50082-58 that you referenced so the two would work well together.
The # RP50082-58 is the correct custom install fifth wheel rail kit for your 1999 Ford F-250 Short Bed so it would work well for you in that regard too. This is a no-drill kit also.
I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
