I have a solution for you, but the # AL57396 are not a fit on a 2005 Ford F-250 or F-350 Super Duty truck. However, the Firestone Ride-Rite # F2400 are a confirmed fit on both the 2005 F-250 and F-350 and will fit with a B&W Gooseneck hitch system # BWGNRK1108. This Firestone kit gives you a durable air bag system that will help keep your truck level when you're gooseneck towing.

If you also would like a compressor system to allow for on-the-fly inflation of the bags, I recommend using the Firestone Air Command II - Analog Gauge w/ Heavy Duty Compressor - Dual Function - 150 psi # F2219. This system gives you the ability to fill the air bags individually and allows you to control the system from inside your truck's cab.

I've linked some review videos of these parts for you to check out.
