Yes, Firestone Ride-Rite helper springs # F2597 will work with the B&W gooseneck hitch already installed in your 2015 F-250! The B&W frame brackets have holes in the centers that line up with holes in the truck frame. The upper brackets for the Firestone kit requires those holes for installation and both it and the B&W brackets can share the same bolts that go through those holes.

Special note for short beds: Short Bed Diesel F-250's have an exhaust sensor located on the passenger side frame rail where the upper bracket mounts for this kit. In these instances, relocation bracket # F5722 is required; sold separately.

I also recommend adding an on-board compressor system such as # F2158. It isn't required but it will allow you to adjust the air springs from the comfort of the truck cab without having to rely on an external air compressor. I have linked videos showing example installs of both the Ride-Rite springs and the compressor.
