Air Helper Springs for 2008 Ford F350 Compatible with B&W Gooseneck Hitch

Question:

I have the 2008 f350 ford dually with an out bed gooseneck instalation BandW. The brackets are outside chassis mounted with no holes. Do you have a airbag kit for this that fits to the inner axle buffer rubbers. Or do holes have to be drilled and if the main centre anchor bolts heads are on the outside will it interfere with the air bellow?

I'd recommend the Firestone # F2550, which is compatible with your B&W Gooseneck Hitch.

As you can see from the provided diagram, the air springs mount to the inside of the frame member. B&W tells me that it is perfectly acceptable to drill through the side plates of the gooseneck hitch if necessary, as long as you don't weld or cut anything.

I've linked you to an install video that you might find helpful.
