We sure do Rodney. There's only one set of air bags for your 1999 F-250 that is compatible with a gooseneck hitch like the B&W Turnover Ball System item # BWGNRK1108 you were looking at. It is the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers item # AL88390. All of the other air bag kits are blocked by the brackets used to install the gooseneck hitch.
The Air Lift item # AL88390 is confirmed to fit the 1999 Ford F-250. This system has a 5,000 lbs load leveling capacity.
Please note that the center bolt for the upper air bag bracket of the Air Lift item # AL88390 will go though the side plate for the gooseneck hitch. You will want to install the Turnover ball system first and use the hardware from it when installing the air bags as they occupy the same space on your truck's frame.
I recommend adding the Air Lift Load Controller II Compressor System item # AL25592 to your truck. This onboard compressor will allow you to adjust the PSI in your air bags while you're on the go.
What kind of trailer are you pulling?
To make towing with a gooseneck easier, I also recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness item # C56000. This harness puts a 7-way connector in the bed of your truck and allows you to keep the one on your bumper. This makes hooking up to your gooseneck trailer easier and more convenient.
