Is There an Underbed Gooseneck Hitch for 1997 Ford F-250 HD with Outward Rail Mounted Air Bags?
Question:
Hi, I have a 1997 F250 HD ex cab long bed. I have Firestone outward rail mounted airbags. Are there ANY Reese under bed gooseneck gotcha that will work with my Firestone air bags?

Expert Reply:
We do have some underbed gooseneck install kits available for your 1997 Ford F-250 HD, but we do not have any Reese brand rails that will fit. I contacted both B&W and Curt, who make gooseneck rails for your vehicle, and unfortunately, they don't have any underbed gooesneck kits that will work with your outward rail mounted air bags. If you want to use a gooseneck hitch without your air bags, I recommend the B&W Turnoverball # BWGNRK1110 as it is one of the best underbed rail kits available, easy to use and easy to install.
