Yes, the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs, # F2709, and the Reese Quick-Install Custom Install Kit, # RP50066-58, will fit together on your 2015 Chevrolet 2500HD Z71 4x4 diesel without interfering with each other. The top bracket for the Firestone air bags mounts to the bottom and inboard side of the frame rail. The frame brackets for the Reese install kit mount to the outboard side of the frame rails, so they will not make contact.

We have installed both of these products on a Silverado 2500HD crew cab together without issue. I attached the installation videos for you to check out.
