Are Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2597 Compatible with Gooseneck on 2011 Ford F-350
Question:
Hi, I have a 2011 Ford F-350 diesel that currently has a BandW under bed gooseneck kit installed. I notice some of the mounting wholes are covered by the gooseneck side plates on the frame. The driver side bolt for the urea tank is covered by the gooseneck side plate. Also, on the passenger side an existing 3/4inch bolt is in place to secure the gooseneck side plate. Will this airbag kit work with my gooseneck hitch? Are there any installation recommendations on how to install these together? Thank

Expert Reply:
The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2597 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2011 Ford F-350 Diesel and designed specifically to work with existing fifth-wheel or gooseneck hitches. This system will be compatible with the B&W gooseneck you already have installed.
I have attached the complete written instructions for this kit that you can also check out. It will tell you exactly where on your truck's frame the springs will install so you can confirm that the needed mounting holes/areas are exposed. I have also included an installation video on a similar truck that you can use for reference.
