Question:
I have the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs installed on my 2016 F150 6 1/2 foot bed and I am looking at adding a gooseneck system. I am looking at either the CURT double lock system or the BandW system. will I be able to install either of these gooseneck systems with the airbags worried about the frame rail space or will I need to remove the airbags for something else? should not matter but its a XLT, 4X4 max tow with the 3.5 eco. thank you.

Expert Reply:
Currently the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Springs # AL88385 are the only air springs we carry that will work with the B&W Turnoverball # BW77FR.
The mounting bracket for your Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2582 mounts to the same mounting hole as both the B&W Turnoverball # BW77FR and Curt Double Lock # C607-649. And The Curt Double Lock will not work with the U-bolt the Air Lift helper springs use.
