Question:
Are these air bags compatible, without drilling or modification, with the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard brackets for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, part #56016 ?

Yes, the Firestone # F2703 are compatible with the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit # RP56016-53. The # RP56016 brackets mount on the outboard side of the frame rails on your F-350, and the air bags will install on the inboard side.
I also recommend adding an onboard air compressor like the Firestone Air Command II # F2219. This will allow you to control the air pressure wherever you go from the cab of your truck. It is a dual path system so you can control the air springs independently or together.
