Yes, you can absolutely add the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2613 to your 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 that has a 5th wheel hitch in the bed. The reason you can do so is that the air bags install to the bottom of your truck's frame so the air bags will not interfere with a base rail kit like the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC Truck # C16429-204 that fits your 2020 Silverado 2500.
That means you can use a fifth wheel hitch like the sliding Curt A20 # C16541 if you have a short bed or fixed Curt A20 # C16140 if you have a long bed and also get the added support of the Firestone Air Helper Springs # F2613 so your ride will be more level, stable and smooth.
I do highly recommend adding a compressor, the Air Command Compressor System - Wireless - Smartphone Enabled # F2610. This compressor is totally unique because it allows you to adjust the air pressure in the bags from the comfort of your truck's cab with just your smartphone. Other wireless systems require the use of a remote, which (if you're anything like me) have a tendency to come up missing. On the other hand, your phone is something that is such a part of your daily life it is always right by your side.
I have added links to video reviews for you to take a look at as well.

Hello, I have the Firestore ride rite air bag kit that was used on my 2012 GMC 2500HD. I wanted to know if Firestone offers a bracket kit for the 2020 GMC 2500HD so that I can re-use the airbags?Also, I will be installing the new 2020 B&W under bed gooseneck hitch. Will both the firestone ride rite and B&W hitch be compatible?
