Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 2005 Ford F-250 with Firestone Air Bag Kit
Question:
I recently put a set of Firestone 2400 air springs on my 2005 f250 and now looking to put in a fifth wheel hitch, I see from the videos that the mounting under the bed to the frame cover the holes that the upper air spring use. Is there a kit that is compatable with these air springs?

Expert Reply:
We checked with Firestone and the part # F2400 is listed as being compatible with fifth wheel rail kits.
What you need though is a universal rail kit like the part # RP30035 which uses L-brackets that mount around the air spring brackets. I attached an install video for it.
