Expert Reply:
The B and W Companion Hitch part # BWRVK3500 that you referenced is a great choice for your long bed 2015 Ford F-350 without the factory rail kit. To install it in your truck bed requires the B and W Turnoverball Rail Kit # BWGNRK1111. This rail kit allows the fifth wheel hitch to basically be centered right over the rear axle. Having it located there allows the pin weight of the trailer to be best distributed over the rear suspension without being so close to the cab of the truck that it causes turning interference.
I attached an install video for this rail kit as well as a link to the printed instructions for you to check out as well.
