I have a solution for you but the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs item # F2598 mount in the same location as 5th wheel hitch brackets so you will want to use another system. All of the Firestone systems have this issue. I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs item # AL57589. This system has a 7,500 lbs load leveling capacity.

As far as adding coil springs go. You can use the SuperSprings Suspension Leveling Kit item # SS54PV however it may not be as noticeable as air bags. They also have the drawback of raising your truck's front end up 2".

I also recommend adding the Firestone Air Command II item # F2219 to your truck. This dual path onboard compressor will allow you to adjust the PSI in your air bags individually from the comfort of your cab.

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…
