Fit of Firestone F2597 Ride Rite Air Helper Spring w/ B & W Turnover Ball Hitch on 2011 Ford F450
Question:
I am considering purchasing the Firestone F2597 airbag kit for my 2011 F450. Will this kit work with the BandW turnover ball gooseneck hitch that is installed already? Thanks

Expert Reply:
The Firestone # F2597 Ride Rite Air Helper Spring kit will indeed be compatible with an existing B & W Turnover Ball hitch in the bed of your 2011 Ford F450. I've confirmed this with my Firestone representative just to be absolutely certain.
You might also be interested in an on-board compressor system like part # F2097. A compressor kit would allow you to add or remove air from the system and a flick of a switch, without needing to leave the passenger cabin.
I've linked to installation videos for the springs and for the compressor kit, as well as some FAQ articles that you might find helpful.
