Question:
Looking to see if this would this be the ideal hitch for an 06foot F350 SRW diesel, with firestone airbag 2452. And wondering if there have been any minor improvements to the hitch over the years, sounds like some folks had a few minor complaints. thank you

Hey Sam, welcome back! The B&W Turnoverball # BWGNRK1108 is the best choice for a gooseneck hitch on your 2006 Ford F-350 SRW diesel. B&W has made some minor updates over the years, but the overall design has remained largely unchanged and has proven to be extremely reliable.
The issue is your Firestone 2452 air bags. These use mounting brackets that interfere with the installation of the B&W hitch brackets. The same is true for other gooseneck hitches as well. Because of this, your 2452 kit will need to be replaced with a system designed to work with an in-bed hitch like the # F2398 (2WD) or # F2400 (4WD).
What are you towing with your F-350?

Hey Robin, looks switching the bags was the only answer... Do you know what holesaw size is best for this hitch? And what will i need to do for a plug outlet in the bed?
