For your 1993 Ford F-250 4x4, if you have over load springs, the goose neck hitch I recommend is the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit - 30,000 lbs Item # BWGNRK1110. If you vehicle does not have the overload springs you want to use B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit - 30,000 lbs Item # BWGNRK1100. Both of these kits are under bed kits so when the ball is removed or turned over and stored inside the hitch you have total bed access.

For air bags I recommend Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Springs w/ Internal Bumpers Rear Axle Item # AL88215. These air spring have a 5000lb load leveling capacity. A minimum psi rating of 5 and a maximum of 100 per bag. Keep in mind this does not increase the weigh carry capacity of the vehicle. The air pressure in each of the bags can be increased and decreased independently for any off center loads in the bed of the truck. Each spring has an internal jounce bumper that replaces your factory jounce bumper. These are designed for 1/2 , 3/4, and 1 ton trucks and come with all the necessary hardware to get them installed.

I do recommend installing the air bags before installing the under gooseneck hitch as it may be easier with installing any hardware on the frame rails.

To make it easier to add and reduce air pressure in the bags I also recommend Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Remote - Bluetooth - EZ Mount Item # AL74000EZ. This compressor comes with a wireless controller however; you can also use your cell phone as the controller to add and decrease pressure from inside or outside the vehicle.

It sounds like the purpose of getting the air helper spring would be to counteract the 1 inch compression you're getting in your rear suspension caused by the pin weight of your 5th wheel. If that's the case, I believe that the AirLift 5000…

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…
