Question:
I have a 2005 Dodge 2500 with Firestone Airbags. Will they interfere with the gooseneck install?
asked by: Michael W
Expert Reply:
The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2299 we have that are confirmed to fit your 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 are indeed compatible with an in-bed hitch like the B&W Gooseneck # BWGNRK1313 that you plan on installing. The brackets for the Firestone air bags install on the bottoms and inboard sides of the frame rails, while the B&W Gooseneck will fit on the outboard side of the rails. There will be no interference between the two systems.
I have attached an installation video on your truck that you can use for reference.
