Since you have the Demco Hijacker Autoslide and a Ford truck with OEM pucks you simply need the Replacement Side Plates for Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Ford Super Duty # DM6033. This will make your hitch fit your factory pucks perfectly whether the hitch itself is rated for 18K or 25K.
