Expert Reply:
In order to use the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16115 on a 2008 Ford F-150 you'll want the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ford F150 part # C16441-204. The Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Rails and Universal Installation Kit part # C16116 will fit, but the universal frame bracket require drilling into the frame which makes installation much harder and the custom bracket bypass all this as they bolt on so that is what I recommend. That said, either will work.
