Question:
Hello, I have the Firestone air bag suspension kit 2582 and I’m wanting to put on a gooseneck hitch also. What aftermarket brackets and spacers do I need to buy to make it work?

Expert Reply:
Hi Jennifer! The Firestone # F2582 are not compatible with an in-bed hitch like the B&W Turnoverball # BW77FR since they mount in the same location as the hitch mounting brackets.
I recommend switching to the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 # AL57268 (2WD) or # AL57385 (4WD). These are compatible with an in-bed hitch so you don't have to worry about compatibility. The Turnoverball # BW77FR is the best option for a gooseneck hitch. It will keep your bed clear and also allows you to mount the Companion 5th wheel hitch so you have that option if you need it in the future.
