Expert Reply:
For your 2016 Ford F-250 short bed without the factory rails, I recommend you get the B&W Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVK2401 to use with the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Dual Jaw - 18,000 lbs # BWRVK3270 you referenced. This combination is a custom fit for your truck and will work great.
You also may want to consider the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Wiring Harness 7-Pole # C56000 to add a second 7-way trailer connection to the bed of your truck for easy connection access.
