The B&W Custom Mounting Brackets for Patriot 5th Wheel Above Bed Base Rails # BWRVR2401 will come with installation instructions but is not the correct fit for your 2018 Ford F-250. You will instead want the # BWRVR2402 for 2017 and 2018 models. The # BWRVR2401 is the fit for 2011-2016 models.

I've attached some photos of the installation details for your 2018 F-250 to assist.

Thanks for the updated information because the 4x4 shortbed does make a difference on your model. B&W doesn't make a rail kit for your truck outside of the Custom Underbed Installation Kit for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWGNRK1116-5W which then uses the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs # BWRVK3400-5W. This is a great combination that will give you a clean bed when not in use. Then for a wiring harness, you can use the Bargman # 50-97-410. If you want a different option with above bed rails, then I recommend the B&W Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit for Ford # BWRVK2402 along with the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R20 Slider - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs # C16541. Then you can use the same wiring harness listed above # 50-97-410.

The closest modern tire size to a 7.00-15 tire is a 225-75-15 like the #AM10256 tire you mentioned. Typically, a 225/75-15 tire will measure about 8-3/4 to 9 inches wide by around 28-1/2 inches in diameter. We offer the same size in a Load Range E as…

Most fifth wheel rails are made to the same industry standard dimensions. They aren't all though. If you measure 22 inches on center between the two rails and they look like the rails of the #RP30035 that you referenced they would be the industry…
