Expert Reply:
If you have Air Lift branded air springs then you should be good to install the B&W Turnoverball Hitch # BWGNRK1019-5W and use the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3400-5W. If you have Firestone air springs you'll have to remove them since they mount in the same location as the brackets for both gooseneck and base rail kits.
The B&W Turnoverball hitch will give you the most versatility since you'll be able to tow a gooseneck and 5th wheel trailer and then remove the hitch ball or Companion for a completely clear bed. B&W's Companion is well-known as one of the best hitches on the market for durability and comfort and the slider base will provide you with an extra 12" of travel for more turning clearance.
I've attached a couple of videos below where we'll walk you through the installation process and give you a general review of the hitch.
