I do have what you need, however the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit # RP50026 referenced in your question is not compatible with your 2011 Ford F-150. This particular kit is designed to fit the frames on certain model years of the F-250/350 and will not line up with the factory holes on the frame rails of your F-150.

I instead recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit # RP56006-53. These will use the existing holes in your truck's frame so you won't need to drill into it when installing the brackets.

If you don't yet have a fifth-wheel hitch, I recommend the Reese 5th Wheel Hitch # RP30051. This hitch features a double jaw system to provide excellent contact with the trailer king pin, a 16,000 pound towing capacity.
