This is a really good question. So our weight distribution manufacturers have explained it to us like this. The weight distribution system essentially becomes a part of the vehicle's hitch so it's weight does not get factored in as additional tongue weight.
Typically when a WD system is being used and there is quite a bit of bounce the issue is that the system is rated too high for the trailer's tongue weight. Or the system isn't setup properly. I'd verify the loaded tongue weight of your... view full answer...
The hardware of the etrailer Motorcycle Carrier w/ Ramp for 2" Hitch # e98873 does not have a torque rating this is because the hardware has nylock bushings in the nuts which prevents them from backing off.

The total operation travel of the Air Lift Ride Control Air Helper Springs, Rear Axle # AL59565 is about 7 inches. I spoke with my contact at Air Lift and she confirmed that the maximum compression of the airbag is 3.1 inches and the maximum extension is 10.25 inches, so the travel is 7.15 inches.

Thanks for reaching out about the Leer Hard Tonneau Cover - Quad Fold # LE97FR for your 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 with a 5-3/4' bed!
I reached out to my contact at Leer who said that the panels won't take up any bed space when folded up which doesn't make sense because there is a small front panel that the folded up panels sit on in that "opened" position.
Because of this I reached out to BAK about their BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK52FR and my contact said that the panels are going... view full answer...
The B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3255 works great with a rotating pin box. B&W makes some of the best hitches in the towing business and I highly recommend them. The Patriot has a 18,000 lbs capacity and its dual jaws provide 360 degree contact for safety and comfort.
The B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3255 does mount to industry standard rails. If your 2019 Sierra 1500 doesn't have a set, I recommend the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails item # BWRVK2504.

I have a solution for you but the Air Lift Helper Springs item # AL59565 do not work with 5th wheel brackets. The air bags mount in the same location as the brackets.
Instead you will want the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs item # AL57204. This kit has a 5,000 lbs capacity and is custom fit for a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500. The air bags reduce the strain on your rear suspension, increase safety, and compensate for uneven loads. It does work on Sierra's with the shorter bed.

I reached out to my contact at Pace Edwards regarding the BedLocker Hard Tonneau Cover # 311-BLCA27A58 that you referenced. He said when installed and completely open, the system is going to take up 13 inches of space from the cab back towards the rear of the truck. This measurement includes both the canister and the roughly 2 inches of overhang on the cover that won't be fully retracted.
The canister will drop down about 14 inches into the truck bed from the top of the bed rails.
