Expert Reply:
The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2582 is a fit for your 2016 Ford F-150, but it is not able to be installed with an in-bed hitch. The mounting hardware for the rails installs in the same exact location as the air spring brackets, so they cannot be used together.
I do have a solution for you in the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57268 or the LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate with Internal Jounce Bumpers # AL88268. These air spring options will fit with your truck and will mount in a manner compatible with an in-bed hitch and rail kit. These air springs come with the manual inflation valves.
You may want to consider adding a compressor like # AL25592 or # AL25980 to give you the ability to adjust your spring psi at any time from the convenience of your cab or even outside of your cab if you have the wireless remote.
