Air Bag Kit Recommendation to Fit on 2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty with B&W Gooseneck Hitch
Question:
I have a 2020 F-250 Super Duty and I want to put air bags on it for some extra help. The problem that I have is that I have a B and W gooseneck hitch and I don't know if or which air bags will fit. Help?

Thank you for the explanation! We do have air bag kits that are compatible with the B&W Gooseneck Hitch # BWGNRK1116 that's on your 2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty.
I recommend using Firestone Ride-Rite air bags which come in a kit for 2WD # F2600 and 4WD # F95FV applications. I like the Firestone brand because they have superior construction and are attached to the top and bottom metal plates with a rolled crimp seal which helps to protect the air bags and give them a longer-lasting life. Firestone works with B&W to ensure that their kits are compatible with the B&W brackets plus these are a no-drill application so you know they will fit and you won't have to modify your new pickup either. Just make sure that you have at least 7-1/2" from the outside of your frame to the inside of the tire to ensure that there won't be any interference there.
The air bags can be filled manually but I recommend checking out a compressor kit like the Air Command # F96VV which not only allows you to fill the air bags anywhere (without locating an external compressor), but you also get the luxury of monitoring the pressure in your air bags at any given point in time. This specific kit is wireless so you won't have to mount anything inside your Super Duty plus it has a dual path function which gives you the freedom to adjust your air bags independently of each other if you have to haul uneven loads in the bed of your pickup.
Attached is a sample installation video on a 2017 Super Duty for you to check out. Please note that with any suspension enhancement you are just adding support to your suspension and it doesn't actually increase the amount of weight your vehicle can handle.
