For your 2017 Ford F-250 with a 6-3/4 foot bed the rail kit I would recommend is the Reese custom install kit part # RP50074-58. The custom install kits are the way to go since they minimize drilling and install time when compared to a universal kit.

This kit is also the same style of rail kit that your Reese Kwik Slider hitch is designed to fit.

The outboard rail kit part # RP56017-53 that you mentioned already buying does fit your truck as well. The difference with this kit is that the mounting flanges go on the outsides of the truck frame which makes for a bit easier of an install. The downside is that the rails are bit larger and the cost is a bit steeper.
