Wireless Air Bag Springs For Sagging Suspension On 2025 F250 2WD With Gooseneck Hitch

Updated 12/15/2025 | Published 12/08/2025

Question:

I’ve got a basic 2025 F-250 2WD with a gooseneck. Nothing fancy. Will this wireless Ride-Rite kit clear the in-bed hitch brackets? Any other things I need to worry about?

Todd, you’re in good shape. The Firestone Air Bag Kit # F44XV kit is a confirmed fit on 2WD or 4WD 2025 F-250s, and it is compatible with in-bed hitches, including goosenecks. Firestone’s brackets mount to factory locations on the frame, and nothing interferes with the hitch rails.

As long as your truck is stock height, no lift or level kit on the back axle, the kit will bolt right in. Front level kit is fine on this since it doesn't affect real fitment.

What are you hauling on that gooseneck? I can help you dial in the right PSI

Thanks Andrew. I’m usually hauling a 32-foot livestock trailer. Do airbags help with the front of the truck feeling a little light when it’s loaded heavy?

@Todd Yes, absolutely! When a gooseneck loads the rear of the truck down, it can pull weight off the front axle. Once you air up the # F44XV bags to bring the truck back to level, the front end settles down, braking feels more secure, and steering firms back up. You will notice a huge difference! You will wonder how you were towing that big trailer without additional suspension help in the past.
