Helpful Expert Reply:

Yes, you can use Firestone air bags # F2550 with the B&W gooseneck hitch # BWGNRK1108 installed on your 2009 Ford F-250. There should be a large hole right about the center of the gooseneck brackets that attach to the frame. The Firestone air bag top brackets will also use this hole to mount only on the opposite side of the frame than the gooseneck brackets so they will not interfere with each other.

I have included a link to a video showing installation of the air bags for you.

I did some checking and the hub/drum we offer that will work for you is the part #8-430-5UC3. This uses the same bearings as the 8-415 and will be an exact fit aside from the fact this is a non-ABS setup and the 8-415 came in an ABS setup and non-ABS…
