Question:

I don’t have the gooseneck, I have the custom rail kit by b&w. Will I have to drill a hole in the passenger side frame bracket for it to mount to my frame?

Expert Reply:

Yes, the Firestone air bag kit part # F2597 that you referenced is compatible with in-bed hitches like the B and W Turnoverball gooseneck # BWGNRK1111 that you have installed in the bed of your 2016 Ford F-250.

For a compressor kit the heavy duty part # F2097 will make inflating the bags and maintaining them very easy. The compressor will inflate faster than standard compressors and the gauge inside the vehicle will allow you to monitor and inflate them from inside the vehicle as well.

The Turnoverball gooseneck hitch actually doubles as a rail kit for the Companion hitches, but if instead you have the above bed rails like for the Patriot hitches the Firestone air bag kit still fits without frame drilling.
