I have a solution for you but the Air Lift Helper Springs item # AL59565 do not work with 5th wheel brackets. The air bags mount in the same location as the brackets.

Instead you will want the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs item # AL57204. This kit has a 5,000 lbs capacity and is custom fit for a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500. The air bags reduce the strain on your rear suspension, increase safety, and compensate for uneven loads. It does work on Sierra's with the shorter bed.

The Air Lift item # AL57204 does not work on lowered trucks though. The kit you were looking at, item # AL59565 is designed for lowered trucks.

I recommend adding the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System for Air Helper Springs item # AL74000EZ to your set up. This onboard compressor system with Bluetooth allows you to fill your air springs at the touch of a button. This system automatically maintains pre-set air pressure levels. It lets you adjust 2 air springs independently with the wireless remote control. This allows you to level your vehicle front to back. It also allows you to get side-to-side leveling of off-center loads by inflating each spring with a different amount of air.

I have linked a couple of installation videos below.
