First, in order to get a 7-way for your 2008 Ford F-150 with a factory 4-flat, what you'll need is the Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole # 37185.

For the wiring itself, I have added a link to a help article below which covers it in detail, but what you will do is find the wires that are usually on the driver's side frame rail of your F-150. With that, you'll first plug in the 4-way, and then connect the wires to the # 37185.
