Question:
You guys have addressed this ? Before. But I have a 2019 Toyota Tundra 4x4 double cab 8ft bed. I have the BandW gooseneck hitch installed and now I’m trying to find an airbag that will work with it the heavier duty the better. If you watch both your install videos for the BandW and the Firestone bags that you say will work it will make more sense to you. The hitch uses an oval hole on the bottom side of the frame rail for one of the main big bolts on each side. The air bags want you to use this same hole to send the air supply nipple of the airbag up through it. Please help what are my options. I would think it would be detrimental to leave the bolt out of the hitch so you could run your air fitting up through it. Thank you.

When installing the Firestone Ride Rite # F2445 with the B&W # BWGNRK1257-5W you won't actually be leaving any bolt holes empty. I've attached an exploded diagram from Firestone that shows the air supply bolt actually has a nut/washer that will fit over the hollow bolt and secure boht the B&W Gooseneck underbed package and the Firestone Ride Rite air bags to the vehicle's frame.
This has been confirmed with my tech contact over at B&W and they mentioned that they've had several customers perform this installation in this manner without any issues, and Firestone is the only air bag that they have confirmed is compatible with their underbed gooseneck systems.
I've linked the installation videos of these parts that you mentioned so that you can easily locate them when you go to install everything- you'll just want to check out the diagram I attached to see exactly what I'm referring to.
