Best Air Bag Helper Springs for a 2012 Ford F-250 with Factory Installed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch
Question:
I have a add on goose neck package on my 2012 F250. I need a firestone air bag system that will mount to the frame plates on the goose neck plates?

Expert Reply:
The brackets for air bags and those for the hitch installation kit on your 2012 Ford F-250 are not meant to be stacked. So you will need an air bag kit that mounts in a location that does not interfere with the hitch brackets.
That kit could be Firestone Ride-Rite kit # F2550. It mounts on the inboard sides and bottoms of the frame rails. I have included a link to a video showing how they install. Compare this to where the brackets are on your truck to make sure they will work together. This kit fits 2-wheel drive and 4-wheel drive models but is intended for trucks with gas motors, not diesels, and it will not fit on SuperCab V10 models with 8 foot bed.
For a diesel use # F2597. If it is a diesel AND has a short bed then exhaust sensor relocation bracket # F5722 is required for installation.
