I do have a solution for you, however the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2597 referenced in your question are not confirmed to fit your 2017 Ford F-350. The brackets in this kit are designed for earlier model year F-Series trucks and will not work well with your 2017 model.
For your truck, I instead recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2600. This system is confirmed to fit your 2017 Ford F-350 and is indeed compatible with the factory puck/rail system. The Ride-Rite air springs feature a load-leveling capacity of 5000 pounds and they will do a great job of keeping the truck level and reducing strain on the rear suspension. The air pressure can be adjusted from 5 psi to 100 psi so you can maintain an even load distribution, even with off-center loads.
I also recommend considering the addition of the Firestone Air Command II Heavy Duty Compressor # F2219. This will allow you to control the two air springs within the comfort of your cab.
I have attached a couple video demosntrations on these products, along with the installation instructions that you can take a look at.
