The Rock Tamers Heavy-Duty Adjustable Mud Flap System # ERT00108 is a great universal option but there is a good chance that they would trigger those proximity sensors on your 2018 Ford F-150 when attached. The mud flaps will slide onto your ball mount and the raised crossbar will extend the length of the rear bumper which is exactly where those sensors are located.

To avoid this interference your best option will be with a permanent mount kit that's custom fit for your truck. For this I recommend the WeatherTech Mud Flaps # WT120050 as long as you don't have the SVT Raptor model F-150. These are specifically designed to fit the contours of your wheel wells and will sit right behind the tires so you don't have to worry about any interference with the rear sensors. They are made right here in the USA.

I have attached an installation video on the 2017 Ford F-150 so you can see exactly how they will mount and look on your truck.
