Will Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Hitch C60720 Fit 2011 Ford F-250 with Firestone 2597 Air Springs

Question:

I have firestone ride rite 2597 on my 2011 F250 crew cab lariat. 6-3/4’ bed. Will the curt 60720 work with my airbags? Curt install instructions say the exhaust has to be lowered which could possibly interfere with the bags. Do you have any insight on this?

The mounting brackets for the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2597 you have installed on your 2011 Ford F-250 are compatible with the hardware from the Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Hitch # C60720 you are wanting to add. The exhaust will only need to be (slightly) lowered on the truck for the Gooseneck Hitch if your F-250 has the diesel engine. Otherwise it will remain in its current position.

In either case, the exhaust won't need to be lowered enough to cause any interference with the air springs or brackets. The two systems will work together without issue.

I have attached the complete install details below that you can also look through.
