I am showing that the correct Rhino-Rack heavy duty crossbar setup for your 2015 Ford F-350 crew cab is Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Roof Rack Crossbars - Black - 59" Long # RB1500B-2. You will also need Leg Kit # RRRLKHD and Fit Kit # DK190 to install this onto your roof. This has a 165lb weigh capacity and is 59" long. You can install accessories by clamping onto the crossbars or by using the T-slot track. I have attached an installation video showing this roof rack being installed on a different Ford vehicle since we do not have a video for the 2015 F-350.

If you want a longer crossbar setup then you can go with Yakima BedRock HD Truck Bed Rack # Y01160-59 which is 78" long. This, however, is a truck bed rack and clamps onto your truck bed rails. It is considered a heavy duty crossbar setup and has a weight capacity of 300lbs on-road and 180lbs off-road. Just like the Rhino-Rack mentioned above, this crossbar setup also has a T-slot track that allows many accessories to be easily installed. I personally like this rack more because it keeps the sleek factory look of the naked roof and also allows you to put a lot of cargo and accessories on the bed rails which can hold much more weight than the roof. I have attached a demonstration video for you to check out on this Yakima Bed Rack.
