My 01 qc long bed 4x4 has a B&W gooseneck hitch. Website says your bags wont fit due to the hidden hitch, appears they use the same mounting area though the hitch is inside the rails and the bags outside though I have not seen the kit and do not know the mounting technique any ideas on how to accomplish it.

Jeremy,
I posted this a few days ago with no reply. Does Airlift have anything like the Kelderman 4 point air suspension system? What do you think of using a 5500 for this application?
Has anyone ever done anything like this with a 5500? (The picture is an F-550.) Will the 5000# camper and the 2000# utility bed be enough weight to make it a comfortable ride or should I consider an air suspension? Does an air suspension have a deleterious effect on the handling? Should I get the 2 stage air suspension or splurge for the 4 link system?
Will the center of gravity of the camper being right over or slightly behind the rear axle be a problem?
5500 84"CA, modified 11 ' service bed, 11.5' slide-in camper, towing a 6000# trailer.

Here is a link to the kit for your truck LoadLifter 5000 ULTIMATE with internal jounce bumper | Air Lift Company - Tow and Haul with Safety and Comfort Take a look under technical specs and you will be able to download the manual so you can see how our kit mounts.

Jeremy,
No, I'm not planning on lifting the vehicle, but I might go over some slightly bumpy roads. I do work in rural areas, but nothing extreme is planned for the vehicle.
Did you look at the picture I posted? I just want the ride to be safe, i.e. free from swaying when passed by big trucks, and comfortable like a cadillac. lol.

I think Kelderman is going to be your only hope, unless you have something custom built.
