Will the Air Lift Air Bags Fit a 2018 Ford F-250 with B&W Gooseneck Hitch
Question:
I have a 2018 F250 with a BandW gooseneck ball hitch installed. Will the Airlift 5000 Air Bag System fit? Specifically will the airbag system interfere with the release handle on the drivers side wheel well?

Expert Reply:
Yes, the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs part # AL88399 will fit your 2018 Ford F-250 with the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNRK1116 and there will be no interference with the release handle for the hitch ball. The reason for this is because the air springs install underneath the frame rails whereas the gooseneck hitch installs on the side of the frame rail. Please keep in mind that this kit is for four wheel drive models and will not work with models that have dual rear wheels.
If you will be towing frequently then I recommend adding a compressor kit like the Air Lift Load Controller Compressor System part # AL25856 as this will allow you to monitor air pressure and fill the airbags from inside the vehicle, eliminating the need for an external air compressor.
I have attached a review video for you.
