Question:
Is there an installation guide for this part? I have 2015 F250 short bed diesel and would like to see how this is installed. My installer has air bags kit #2597 but I am sure he hasnt got this part, 5722. My hitch is the BandW companion turn over ball and it appears theyll have to remove BandW drivers side plate to install upper bracket bolt. Re-install side plate and cover new bolt head. Passenger side will re-use BandW 3/4inch bolt and spacer used to mount this side rail. Will need to relocate sensor line after installing bracket mentioned above. Does this sound about right for installation on the 2015 Ford F250, 4WD, short bed diesel. Any help would be greatly appreciated,

The frame brackets for the B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch on your 2015 Ford F-250 and the brackets for the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2597 share a common bolt hole that can be used to install the air bags. So when installing the system you just need to remove the center bolt for the B&W side bracket you mentioned, place the upper air spring bracket through this bolt, and then reinstall.
I have actually reached out to Firestone in the past regarding the Relocation Bracket # F5722 (which is indeed needed for your Diesel model) and was told they do not have a specific install manual for this part. The bracket will basically just mount to the same hole that the passenger side upper bracket on the spring kit uses with a 3/4 inch bolt. Once mounted it will move the exhaust module up and out of the way.
