The only airbag system we offer that will work with the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BW77FR while installed on your 2016 Ford F-150 is the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57268 for 2WD models or part # AL57385 for 4WD models.

The Bargman 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness part # 50-97-410-010 is indeed an excellent choice for your F-150 and will work well for you.
