For your 2016 Ford F-250 4x4 the correct Firestone Ride Rite kit is the part # F2703 that you referenced as this is a confirmed fit for your truck and is also compatible with an in-bed hitch like your 5th wheel setup.

Since you have a 4 inch lift you'd also want the 4 inch spacer block kit part # F2370 which takes up the extra space between the frame and the axle that the lift kit created. You'd want to verify for sure that your lift does give you an additional 4 inches of lift as sometimes it's less than that.

For a compressor kit to make inflating and maintaining the air bags easy we have the Firestone kit part # F2097 which will work great. It has a heavier duty compressor which means the bags will inflate quicker. On the in-cab gauge is the buttons for inflating and deflating the bags.
