You can install the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2582 on your 2016 Ford F-150 along with the Husky Liners Custom Rear Wheel Well Guards 79121.

I took a look at the install directions for both and while I can't guarantee there will be zero interference between the springs and wheel well guards, you can simply make a cut in the wheel well guards where the brackets of the Ride-Rite protrude, like the customer who sent us the accompanying photo did.

I have added a link to a video of the Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2582 being installed on a '16 F-150 for you to check out as well.
