For a fifth wheel rail kit that fits your 2004 Ford F-150 with a 5-1/2 foot bed we have the Reese custom fit kit part # RP50081-58 which is a custom fit and will work great. Custom fit rail kits are the way to go as they minimize drilling and install time when compared to universal kits. Due to the length of your bed you'll have to go with a fixed hitch like the Reese part # RP30047 and a Sidewinder pin box installed on the trailer.

Sidewinders are pin box specific so you will first need to know what pin box you have now in order to pick out the correct one.

There should be a sticker or a stamping on the OEM pin box of the trailer that will list the pin box number that is on the trailer.

Once you figure out which pin box you have you can check the FAQ I attached that has a chart that shows the correct Sidewinder to get based on which pin box you have.
