Expert Reply:
The Air Lift Rear Axle Suspension Kit # AL57338 that you referenced will fit both 2WD and 4WD versions of the 2012 Silverado 2500 HD. However, it is not unusual to find fit complications when multiple aftermarket items are installed on a vehicle. All manufacturers design their products with the assumption that they will be installed on a stock vehicle, and they do not test their products with those from other aftermarket manufacturers.
I have linked the installation instructions for this Air Lift kit for your reference. These include photos and diagrams of where they install on the frame. You can compare these to what you see on your truck frame where the 5th wheel hardware is mounted to determine if they can be installed together. Sometimes it is not possible to install an air bag kit with a 5th wheel in place.
