Where there is a will there is a way. I would think that Firestone would realize that most people needing air bags for a heavy duty truck have a gooseneck ball in there of some sort. So they would work around it

Would think so but what kinda truck you got?

2012 f250 4x4 four door lariat.
06 raptor 3712 toyhauler
kansas bow hunter.
pickwick lake is home though.

I've never pulled goose neck before but noticed pinion seal was leaking on truck installing B&W hitch. Gonna get it fixed before installing air bags. Do the air bags hurt your warranty?

If your talking RV's, I think you'll find the fifth wheel set-up is much more common than the gooseneck.

Firestone does not make airbags to fit my truck with the B&W GOOSENECK hitch because of the way it bolts to the frame. If the hitch is a 5er hitch, there is no problem. I was just advising the OP of that, and apparently he doesn't have the gooseneck hitch, but a 5er hitch, so if that's the case there should be no problem installing the bags.

Interesting. I know that ford has there own gooseneck ball designed for the new super duty trucks so maybe Firestone was expecting that to be more popular than the b&w. Needless to say I am sure that if someone really wanted to they could do so fab work and some re drilling to make it work But with the popularity of that truck I would say Firestone is looking into it with a solution
