Hey Nicky. For a set of 5th wheel brackets that fit a 2018 Ford F-250, you'll want the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches item # RP50074. This is just the frame brackets for the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches item # RP50074-58.
What brand of 5th wheel rails do you have? There's no guarantee two different brands will work together so it's best not to mix and match rails and brackets.
To make towing with a 5th wheel easier, I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness item # C57010. This harness puts a 7-way connector in the bed of your truck and allows you to keep the one on your bumper. This makes hooking up to your 5th wheel trailer easier and more convenient.

Hey Nicky, did you end up using the Reese brackets for your Ford F250, or did you stick with the Curt brackets you purchased? I'm curious to know how it all worked out for you, as it could really help others in a similar situation.
