Expert Reply:

Brophy has a stake pocket mounted tie down setup that fits your 2018 Ford F-250 short bed with the part # HSWB but the # HSSF you referenced is not listed as a fit. Stake pocket tie downs are more universal in the trucks they fit, are a simpler design, and not quite as secure as the frame mounted styles which is why the cost of them is lower. They work but in general people prefer the frame attachment style since it's a much more secure attachment as the frame of the truck is much stronger than the bed rails.

The correct Torklift tie down setup that fits your truck is the part # TLF2022 and # TLF3008.
