Question:

I am installing a Curt gooseneck hitch on my 2009 chevrolet 1500 4wd. I need to know if the Air Lift air bag kit # AL57204 kit will work on it with the gooseneck installed. I have noticed most air bag kits say NO fit with in bed hitch but this one doesnt mention not fitting.

I did some checking and it looks like the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57204 are compatible with the Curt gooseneck # C615-632, for your 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 5-1/2 foot bed.

A lot of air bag kits install using the same mounting holes along the frame that a 5th wheel or gooseneck hitch would use. This is why you were seeing that most of them say they are not compatible.

The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57204 install under the frame of your Silverado and actually have an option for installing them with 5th wheel base rails. This would be the same as your gooseneck installation so this solution will work great!

A great system to use with these air bags is the Air Lift Load Controller I Compressor System # AL25651. This comes with the option of being able to adjust your air bags independently of one another.
