Question:

I am looking to get this kit for my truck, and I will also be adding Firestone ride rite air bags. My question is for this hitch interfere with the top mounting bolt holes for the airbags? Looking at my truck the side brackets for the Reese under bed rail kit will block the hole in the frame required for the airbags. Is this an issue?

Expert Reply:

The compatible Firestone Ride Rite kits for your 2015 Ford F-250 Super Duty are all compatible with in-bed hitches like the Reese Elite Series Under-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Ford Super Duty - 25,000lbs # RP30138-26 that you were referencing. You should have no issues with the air bags or hitch interfering with the other.

If you haven't already purchased your Ride Rite's then I have the following options for you depending on the capacity needed:

Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2597 (5,000lb Capacity).

Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # F2703 (7,500lb Capacity).

I also recommend installing an on-board compressor to easily adjust the pressure of your air bags on the go. For this I recommend the Firestone Air Command I - Analog Gauge w/ Heavy-Duty Compressor - Single Path - 150 psi # F2097. Monitor and inflate your vehicle's air springs from your cab with this compressor system. The single-path system maintains equal pressure in 2 springs for front-to-back leveling. Kit includes analog gauge and heavy-duty 150-psi compressor.
