Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2017 Ford F-350 with B&W Turnoverball Hitch
Question:
Have a 2017 F350 2WD Dually using the BandW Turnover and companion fifth wheel components. How does the Firestone F2600 kit install? Under the BandW side plates or under them? Do I use the existing grade 8’s from the Turnover gooseneck. With being a 2WD there is tight clearance issues that required a frame lift to the suspension for additional clearance.

Expert Reply:
Since the frame mounting space is the same area when installing the Firestone kit part # F2600 and the B and W hitch you have you'd be better off with a Timbren suspension kit part # TFR350SDJ as it would not interfere at all. Some prefer the Timbren kits over the air bag kits as they don't require air pressure maintenance or running any air lines.
