Will Firestone Air Springs Fit A 2020 Toyota Tundra With A B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch
Question:
Will the F2445 Air Helpers work with the BWGNRK1257 Gooseneck Trailer Hitch? I have a 2020 Toyota Tundra CrewMax TRD.

Hey Kevin,
The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2445 are unfortunately not compatible with your B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1257 because it has a mounting bolt right where the spring would need to sit. In order to help support your suspension while towing you'll need to go with an upgrade that doesn't contact this bolt so I recommend the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS34FR. This system clamps onto the leaf springs to help strengthen the springs so that you won't sag down when hauling a trailer or heavy load in the bed. Once installed these require no maintenance and won't affect your unloaded ride quality.
