I will be happy to help you. For your 2000 Ford F-250 you will need to use another brand because the Valley brackets are unavailable at this time from the manufacturer. Because the rails you have now have not been tested with brackets from another manufacturer, I strongly advise against mixing bracket and rail manufacturers. It also makes the capacity unknown.

So if we look at complete installation kits, the most cost effective option is Reese universal installation kit # RP30035. The rails are compatible with Valley hitches that fit in above the bed rails. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you.

For a custom fit kit, the most cost effective option is Husky kit # HT31405-686. The Valley hitch will also fit these rails.

Both of the installation kits listed will fit the long or short bed.
