Question:

Im interested in buying one of your hide a way gooseneck hitches. The only down fall is i have firestone air bags mounted to the side of frame, where most of your hitches mount. Is there a hitch that wont interfere with this or is there a way around this? Thanks. 1994 F350 LB 4x4.

I did some research on your 1994 Ford F-350.

The Firestone air suspension kit we show that is designed to fit your truck is part # F2071. The upper brackets for this system is mounted on the inside of the frame rail of your truck.

The under bed gooseneck hitch I recommend is the Blue Ox, part # DH1202. This will work on your truck with or without overload springs. If you do have overload springs, it does require drilling holes in the frame when installing. This system has a gross towing weight capacity of 30,000 lbs and a tongue weight capacity of 7,500 lbs.

When installing a gooseneck system I recommend using threadlocker like part # LT37420 on all bolts.

All of the under bed gooseneck hitches we offer will interfere with the air suspension system on your truck. Some customers choose to drill through the gooseneck brackets when installing if they have an air system installed, but that will void the warranty of the gooseneck hitch and could also void the air suspension system warranty as well if any modification is done to the suspension system brackets.
