Hello Caleb,
You’re definitely on the right track by double checking this. Fitment questions like this are always worth confirming ahead of time.
I’m happy to let you know that the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TFR350SDE is fully compatible with your B&W gooseneck hitch. You won’t run into any interference issues between the two, so you can move forward with confidence on that setup.
What are you hauling around that you need the extra support?

I agree with Steven About 30 minutes to install on my 2004 F350 4X4. Made a significant difference hauling heavy loads. For myself it helped with sway on windy days and the rolling feeling on corners. I also installed on the front axles making pulling my Tall Toy Hauler RV a pleasure to pull instead of a workout especial on windy days.

Shouldn't be a problem. When you assemble the length you need make sure the final bolt down is as close to center of axle as possible. The instructions describe this. Took me 30 minutes to install on 2000 f350 4x4 and the best upgrade for heavy loads.
