Expert Reply:
Yes, the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1012 is compatible with the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2613 on your 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD. The mounting brackets for the B&W mounts to the outside of the frame, while the upper brackets for the Ride-Rite bags mount to the jounce spring bracket and braces on the inner frame. I have linked installation video for both products that show installation with both air bags and a gooseneck hitch already on the truck.
