Firestone Air Bags Compatible With B&W Turnoverball on a 2027 GMC Sierra 2500  

Published 10/21/2026

Question:

I'm installing a B&W Turnoverball gooseneck hitch on my 2027 GMC Sierra 2500 and want to add air bags to help with squat when towing. I've heard some air bag brackets interfere with gooseneck hitches. Will the Firestone Red Label air bags work with the B&W hitch?

Hey Jason, nice truck! Yes, the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Air Helper Springs # F2709 are compatible with the B&W Turnoverball # BWGNRK1020. You can install both on your 2027 Sierra 2500 without the mounting brackets interfering with each other.

The Red Label air bags provide up to 7,500 lbs of load-leveling support and can be adjusted from 5 to 150 psi. I also recommend the Firestone Air Command Heavy Duty Compressor # F56VV. It can handle the full 150 psi of the air bags and lets you adjust the pressure using a wireless remote or your phone.

If you ever switch to a 5th wheel, the B&W Companion # BWRVK3500-5W mounts directly in your Turnoverball hitch, so you won't need another hitch installation.

What kind of gooseneck trailer are you towing?

One other question, can I adjust the air bags separately with that Firestone compressor? Sometimes I have more weight on one side of the truck depending on what I'm hauling.

@Jason the Firestone Air Command # F56VV is a single-path system, so it inflates and deflates both air bags together. If you need to adjust them independently to compensate for uneven loads, I recommend the dual-path Firestone Air Command # F99VV instead.
