Hello Jack, for your 2012 Ford F-350 4x4 SRW I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite # F2597. These are the 5,000 lb capacity air bags and they will be compatible with the factory overloads and the in-bed B&W hitch. More specifically it will not interfere with the frame brackets included with the B&W hitch.
I am not sure exactly what you are towing, but this kit is also available in a 7,500 lb capacity with part # F2703. The 5,000 lb bags should do fine though. The 7,500 would only be needed if you are pushing the truck close to its limit weight capacity wise, or if you plan on having a more constant load like a truck bed camper.
I have linked our install video for you below.
