Expert Reply:
The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs # AL88298 cannot be used with a gooseneck hitch. I contacted Air Lift to verify and they were able to confirm that they do not make a suspension system for your vehicle that is compatible with a gooseneck hitch. Instead, I recommend something like the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TFR150SDE. These won't interfere with a gooseneck hitch installed and will provide a more comfortable ride by absorbing road shock and improving roll stability.
For a gooseneck hitch for your vehicle, I recommend the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1100. This hitch has a 30,000 lbs towing weight capacity and comes with everything you need to install this hitch on your F-250.
