5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Install Kit that Wont Interfere w/ Air Bags on 2005 Ford F-150 Super Crew
Question:
I have a 2005 Ford F150 King Ranch Super Crew Cab with a 5-1/2 foot bed. I have Air Lift Suspension bags on rear. I am needing to know which rail kit to purchase that will be compatable with the rear air bags. We currently are using a bumper pull horse trailer and would like to move to a goose neck. Thanks for the help.

Because of where the brackets for most air bag kits install on your 2005 Ford F-150 King Ranch Super Crew you will need to use a semi-custom installation kit # RP30035-426. This kit has 4 brackets, 2 for each side, that take up less space than 2 brackets in custom installation kits. Take a look at the picture I have provided that shows the bracket locations and compare them to the air bag brackets on your truck to determine fit.
To use a gooseneck plate with the rails I recommend # 16055 which has an offset for greater clearance when towing with a short bed truck.
