Question:

Are these Adaptor Brackets compatible with the RP30035 rails? I have a 2008 Ford F-250 diesel and see that the Brackets are compatible with my vehicle, but cant confirm if the rails will work with it.

Item # RP56016 on your 2008 F-250 Super duty are going to be the Reese Universal Outboard Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10 Bolt - Extended Length Item # RP30153. The Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10 Bolt Item # RP30035 are not compatible with RP56016. Keep in mind RP30035 is a kit in itself and doesn't require the use of RP56016.

If you have the RP30035 rails and are looking for a replacement bracket kit I recommend Reese Universal Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches (No Base Rails) - 10 Bolt Item # RP30439. This kit does require more drilling to install the rails.

If you are looking for an easier instillation with less drilling and a more custom fit I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches Item # RP50082-58. This kit comes with the rails, frame brackets and all mounting hardware.
