Expert Reply:

The Base Rails # TH21785 are the correct base rails for your 2022 Ford F-250 Short Bed. The Base Rails # TH21510 fit the 1999-2016 Ford F-250 Short Bed.

The new Base Rails # TH21785 are designed to fit the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH43003XT. While your current rack will fit the tracks the height of the TracRac varies for different trucks. These racks are 31.5" tall. There are other shorter racks at 30" and 27.8" tall for shorter cab trucks. If you have the shorter racks you may run into issues with your items hitting the top of your cab when loaded. If you can tell me what vehicle they were used on I can help you determine which height they are.

All Ford F-150's are recommended to use the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH43002XT. Your rack is 1.5" shorter than the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH43003XT that is recommended for your 2022 Ford F-250. To ensure that you do not damage your cabs roof I recommend also replacing the rack. If you prefer you can change legs for the Upright Leg # TA7521902003, be sure to get 4 of these for all 4 uprights.
