I have a 2008 super duty ford 350. Is there a video that will walk me through the instal of the universal kit around the shock brackets on the framel or is my only choice to get the kit that is custom made for my vehicle ?

We have a video showing the Reese universal installation kit # RP30035 being installed on a 2002 Ford F-250 that might help, but none on a 2008. Custom kits are easier to install because they require less drilling and are contoured to the truck frame rails and designed to go around any obstacles in most cases.
You could save some money and go with a Curt custom installation kit # C16448-204 which will accept Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Reese, Pro Series, Valley and Husky 5th wheel hitches and other hitches that fit in industry standard above the bed rails. I have linked the instructions for this kit as well.
