Hey Alton, welcome back! The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 item # AL57396 is indeed compatible with your 2016 Ford F-250 and the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch item # BWGNRK1111.
The directions for the Air Lift item # AL57396 have a section detailing that you'll have to use the 3/4" bolt from the Turnoverball as a means to attach the top of the Air Lift bracket. The air bag brackets were designed with the use of a gooseneck or 5th wheel hitch in mind.
I linked the installation instructions below so you can take a look at them.
I recommend adding the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System item # AL25980EZ to your truck. This onboard compressor will allow you to adjust the PSI in your air bags from your phone or the included remote.
What kind of trailer are you pulling?
