Expert Reply:
According to the folks in the Tech Services department at Firestone, your 1 inch lift will not require a spacer, so the # F2598 kit you referenced would work great for you, right out of the box. The hitch isn't compatible with in-bed hitches or models with the factory air suspension.
You might also want to consider an on-board compressor kit like # F2610. An on-board compressor would allow you to add or remove air pressure from the system as loads or road conditions change using your smartphone.
I've linked to an install video for the # F2598 Ride-Rite kit, as well as to a description video showing how the compressor system works.
