Air Springs to Fit with B&W Turnoverball in 2016 Ford F-250 Short Bed Diesel
Question:
I have a 2016 F250, crew cab, diesel engine, 6.5 foot bed with BandW Goose Neck turn over ball type hitch. I would like to know what air bag suspension kit is compatible with this installation. Thank You

Helpful Expert Reply:
I recommend the Firestone, part # F2597, air bag kit for your 2016 Ford F-250. It installs on the inside of the frame where your B&W Turnoverball, part # BWGNRK1111, installs on the outside. They do share a bolt hole, and coincidently a bolt, so you may need to source a longer one to fit through both products. I've linked the install details, as well as videos, for both products so you can see how they each install ahead of time.
In your short bed diesel there is an exhaust sensor located along the frame on the passenger side that needs to be moved. It gets in the way of the upper bracket for the Firestone kit. Use part # F5722 to relocate the sensor.
