The Reese Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # RP30061 is considered a fit for your 2007 Chevrolet Silverado, and should work with Firestone Airbag suspension enhancement.
Typically the under bed mounting kits allow for utilization of the existing frame mount locations for the Firestone Airbags. The 5th wheel hitch under bed mounting kit mounts to the outside of the truck frame, and the airbag brackets typically mount on the inside of the frame. If your current Firestone Airbag System mounts between the frame and the suspension and on the inside of the frame you should be able to use both systems.
I have included a diagram that I pulled from the instructions showing the available mounting locations for the Firestone Airbag systems. Please take a look at your current set up and make sure that the proper mounting locations for both the under frame 5th wheel kit and the air bag system.
I have included an install video and the installation instructions for your reference.
