Helpful Expert Reply:

Since the lift you have is a Rough Country 6 inch lift which will be a true 6 inch lift you'd want the 6 inch Air Lift lift spacer # AL52460 with the Air Lift kit part # AL57385 that fits your 2019 Ford F-150.

It sounds like the purpose of getting the air helper spring would be to counteract the 1 inch compression you're getting in your rear suspension caused by the pin weight of your 5th wheel. If that's the case, I believe that the AirLift 5000…
