The airbags that I recommend for your 2018 Ford F-250 are the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57399. These airbags will not interfere with the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNRK1116 as you can see in the attached photo.

The Air Lift airbags will do an excellent job of improving both safety and ride quality. They are adjustable which means you can inflate each spring independently for side-to-side leveling of off-center loads. The kit comes with manual inflation valves but if you would like to eliminate having the need for an external air compressor than you can add an on-board air compressor using the Air Lift Load Controller II Compressor System part # AL25592.

Unfortunately, we do not have any package deals but I have attached a list of the tonneau covers we have that will fit your truck. You should not have any issues using them with a 5th wheel hitch so long as the hitch head does not exceed up past the bed rails.

The Air Lift LoadLifter Air Springs # AL57385 along with the WirelessAIR Compressor # AL74000EZ will work perfectly on your F-150 to help raise the rear back up towards stock height when you have the trailer hooked up. The air bags and mounting brackets won't interfere with the B&W frame brackets already installed on your truck.

You do not have to use a sliding 5th wheel hitch in a short bed truck. In many cases, truck beds shorter than 8 ft do not have enough clearance between the trailer and truck to execute sharp turns. This is why sliding hitches were invented. Due to…

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…
