For a set of airbags that will work on your 2015 Ford F-250 with the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNRK1111, I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2597 but you will also need the Relocation Bracket for Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F5722 if you have a diesel engine. In order to use these with the gooseneck hitch you will need to remove the center bolt for the side bracket, place the upper airbag bracket though this bolt, and then reinstall.

The Firestone airbags use a crimp rolled design which is much more durable than the band clamp used with the Air Lift counter part. In regards to installation, I can't really say that one will be easier to install than the other as they all install pretty much in the same spot.

If you want to take full advantage of these airbags you may want to add an air compressor such as the Firestone Air Command I part # F2097.
