Hello James, thanks for getting in touch. Yes, it would be fine to use a weigh safe gooseneck ball along with the shocker hitch air ride suspension. The Weigh Safe gooseneck ball is typically a bit taller than a standard ball, but that would be the only thing to look out for. The scale would not interfere with the air ride.
