If they installed your Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550040 using the Demco Install Kit # DM8552028-71 on your 2019 Ford F-150 with the 5-1/2' bed you will be able to use Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2582.

The other 5th wheel rail kits from Reese # RP56034-53 and Curt # C38ZV use custom fit mounting brackets which mount in the same place as the Firestone air bags and cannot be used together. If you have this style mounting bracket you will want to look at the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs # AL88385 as they mount below the frame.

With either set of air springs I recommend using the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System # AL74000 as it has a smart manifold which will monitor the air pressure in each air spring while you drive and make adjustments should it change by more than 3psi. You can also control the air pressure from either the included wireless remote or your smart phone using Air Lift's app.
