So ive decided to go with the Firestone Ride-rite's to help when towing heavy, ive done a good bit of searching and thread reading and found one thing that caught my eye. I saw in a couple of threads where someone had a problem installing their airbags on a 3rd gen because their B&W gooseneck hitch got in the way of mounting the bags.

is this true?? id love to hear from someone that has a 3rd gen with bags and a B&W, did you have a problem and was it easy to get around??

Gonna be buyin in a few days so a quick response would be great!

Thanks!

 

Bump...c'mon, someone has to have mounted bag on a 3rd gen with a B&W hitch.

 

i have no idea. but im watching this cause im thinking about getting a GN too

brett

 

I put the airlift on mine, no problems. They sit under the frame and mount where the bumpstop is. btw I also have a b&w

 

My '05 has the 5K# airbags, B&W turnover hitch, sway bar, PML diff cover and traction bars... everything fits fine with the spare in place!

 

Firestone air bag system is a easy install.

 

Awesome, thanks so much guys!

BTW, Im not going with the on board air just yet so my question is, what kind of air fill valve does it have? Is is like a valve stem on a tire?? or what?

Thanks again!

 

Standard Schraeder valve (like on a tire).

 

\where did you get the sway-bar

 

I got the sway-bar at the Suspension Connection, I got the one for the 3500 even thou I have a 2500, very easy to install, makes a big difference towing my 5er.
