Best Air Bags for a 2005 Ford F-250 DRW with B&W Gooseneck Hitch
Question:
I recently bought and installed a BandW GNRM1108 on my 05 F-250 Duelly. It had airbags on it which I had to remove cause they wouldnt work with this hitch. What bags do you sell that would work with my truck and hitch?

Expert Reply:
If your 2005 Ford F-250 DRW is a 4x4 then you will want to use the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2400 but if your 2005 Ford F-250 DRW is a 4x2 then you will want to use the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57397.
These options will both work with your B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNRK1108 but you will need to remove the center bolt for the side bracket, place the upper airbag bracket though this bolt, and then reinstall.
If you want to take full advantage of these airbags you may want to add an air compressor such as the Firestone Air Command I part # F2097 which will work with either set.
