Question:
I have a 1997 F350 with the Demco frame bracket kit DM8552005 installed for my base rail mounting. I am wondering if the Firestone Ride-Rite air bag kit F2071 will work with the 5th wheel brackets. I cant find anything that says if the upper air bag bracket will interfere with the hitch mounting brackets or not. I have seen some air bag kits say specifically for Reese 5th wheel hitch configuration but nothing for Demco. Thanks

Expert Reply:
L-bracket style fifth wheel rail kits like the part # DM8552005 typically do not interfere with air bag installs since the brackets are so small and further apart that custom bracket kits.
The part # F2071 is a fit for your truck and would have no problem fitting with the Demco bracket kit.
