Will B&W Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Fit a 2018 Ram 3500 with Factory Air Leveling Suspension
Question:
Will this BandW turnover ball hitch fit onto a 2018 Ram 3500 short bed single rear wheel with the factory air leveling suspension option? I want the BandW turnover ball system and mate it with a Companion slider, but have factory air suspension on my 3500. Thanks.

Yes, you can install B&W Turnover Ball gooseneck trailer hitch # BWGNRK1314 on your 2018 Ram 3500 with the factory air leveling system. Your truck already has the structure under the bed to add the gooseneck hitch which means this installation does not require frame brackets (not to be confused with the factory prep package which is a little different). It is normally the frame brackets that can interfere with things like air suspension. But in this case it is not an issue! I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.
The Companion slider is # BWRVK3400-5W. I have linked a video review of the hitch for you as well.
