Yes, the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2596 will work with the Hide-A-Goose Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # 9465-56, the Curt Overbed Folding Ball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # C61301-52, or any other gooseneck hitch on your 2013 GMC Sierra 2500 for that matter. The brackets for the airbags install in place of the bump stops and the brackets for the gooseneck hitch install on the outside of the frame rail so these two will never interfere with one another.

I have attached a photo of these airbags installed with a B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNRK1012 for reference.

Hey Melanie. The reason you can't find a replacement for your GE ARC15AACBL2 15,000 btu air conditioner is because they phased them out. In 2025 all RV AC systems had to change over to a new coolant called R32. This was a EPA mandated decision.…

With a 2022 F350 short bed, hitting the top of the bed rails should not be an issue with most campers. Turning clearance however, will certainly be a factor. That is one advantage of the Andersen Ultimate hitch #AM3200, as it provides a 9"…
