If you have the RBW Li'l Rocker base rails I would recommend to use the RBW mounting brackets and bolts to install the hitch into your 2000 Ford F-250 Super Duty. I do not sell the RBW line of products.
If you have the Reese Universal Base Rails, part # RP58058, you can use the Reese Universal Installation Kit, part # RP30439, to install the Reese base rails to your Ford F-250 truck. The universal kit does require more time and drilling to install when compared to a custom installation kit.
I would recommend to use the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit, part # RP50082, which will include the custom mounting brackets and hardware. This is a custom installation kit that will install in half the time of a universal kit and use existing holes in your vehicles frame.
You will want to make sure that if your F-250 is a short 6-1/2 foot bed that you will be using a sliding fifth wheel hitch to allow enough clearance between the truck cab and the front of your fifth wheel.
