That looks good but don't get carried away with these things, Ford in its infinite wisdom has setup their circuit wiring for the rating of the OEM Fuse in that circuit. If you add too much you will overload the wiring... maybe even start a fire.

If you have more than one add-on-circuit consider a separate add on fuse panel.

that is why I wanted to use a spot that already had a large fuse, that way I KNOW that the wire in the fuse block behind it that iou dont see can handle the amp draw I intend to use.. hope that makes sense.

Yes it does but if that circuit is drawing the load Ford intended it to have and you turn on something else then it could be harmful, may not though.

Just a though, why not use something like a Circuit Boss from Painless or the Blue Seas Circuit Panel (really nice stuff). with the Blue Seas stuff all you need a a master fuse by the battery, some wire and the fuse panel.
Once installed you can tap off of it at will, watching out for overloading those circuits too.

Just throwing out some ideas, wire taps are easy and work for lower level draw like switches or a Radar Detector but start to draw heavier amperage loads and you never know.

Good luck, they are nice taps and the price is right, good find.
