Compatibility of B&W Turnoverball with LoadLifter 5000 Air Bags on 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500

Question

Question:

I have Airlift 5000 airbags on my 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD truck. I want to install the Turnover ball BWGNRK1012. For the life of me, I cannot find a definitive answer on the web if I can do this with the airbags the airbags use U-bolts that look like they will interfere with the BandW frame mount.

Yes. The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Bags # AL57338 are compatible with all in-bed hitches including the B&W Turnoverball # BWGNRK1012. The mounting brackets of the air bags mount in a completely different location than the brackets of the # BWGNRK1012.
