For the Demco Hijacker # DM8550035 I recommend the Demco Base Rails and Custom Installation Kit # DM8552004-71, which is a fit for a 6-1/2' or 8' bed on a 2013 Ford F-150. These rails will allow you to mount your Hijacker and the brackets are a custom-fit for your truck, meaning there is not going to be any type of drilling into your F-150's frame to install them and is going to significantly reduce the amount of time it will take for installation.
The other option is the Demco Base Rails and Semi-Custom Install Kit # DM8552003-71, is also a fit for a 6-1/2' or 8' bed on a '13 F-150, but is a bit more difficult install that is going to require you drill into your truck's frame. I've added links to the install instructions of both kits for you to check out.
