The Air Lift Vehicle Suspension Kit you referenced, part # AL57204, is indeed a correct fit for your 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Double Cab 4X4 with 6-foot, 6-inch bed. This kit also fits the 5-1/2-foot bed version.

Certain suspension kits will interfere with certain 5th wheel under-bed bracket installation kits if they both need to occupy the same space/mounting point on the frame. Please note the kit you referenced, Reese # RP50066-58, is not a correct fit for your 1500 series; its fit 2500 and 3500 series only. For your truck the correct Reese custom bracket kit is # RP50064-58; these base rails will work with your Valley hitch.

Since manufacturers do not test their products with others' I compared the installation instructions for both products and based on my review of the two sets of instructions it appears that their mounting points are different. The 5th wheel brackets install on the outside of the frame rails and the Air Lift kit installs on the bottom.
