B and W Gooseneck Hitch and Firestone Air Bag Kit Recommendation for a 2009 Ford F350 SD

Question:

Despite the fact that your site addresses a similar concern, a clarification is still needed. My 2009 Ford F350 PSD with an eight foot bed, is equipped with Firestone F2452 Air Bags. Am interested in equipping the truck with a BandW turnover ball gooseneck hitch and its companion fifth wheel. After noting that the air bags mount to the outside of the frame rails, I inquired with another vendor as to their compatibility. They related that the BandW turnover hitch would work with the Firestone air bags. This opposes the answer that your representative gave to another questioner. Can you verify the compatibility, and if they are not compatible, provide another brand of under-the-bed mount that will work with the BandW Companion fifth wheel hitch? Thanks

I am not sure who you spoke with, but the # F2452 does mount to the outside of the frame rails which is the same place as where the B and W # BWGNRK1108-5W will install.

The best solution I can provide would be to go with the # F2550 instead of what you have so that you can install the B and W rails and the Companion # BWRVK3500 because there are no under-bed mount gooseneck hitches that are compatible with # F2452
