Ride Rite with B/W?

Already have the B/W GN hitch installed. Was looking at crobtex's airbag install and it looks like I would have to drill through the B/W bracket to install the Ride Rite airbags. Is that corrrect?

Hate to bump my own thread, but nobody is running a B/W hitch with airbags on a 2nd gen?

Thanks,

Bumping again. Was looking at Firestone's website today to see if they mentioned a model of airbag that won't interfere with the B&W frame, but I couldn't find anything. I emailed their tech support and am waiting to see what they say.
No one here is running a B&W with airbags?

I was looking at this earlier this year and found out that the earlier Air Bags, I don't know which ones, but around 96 or 98s mount on the frame to an axle bracket and not bracket to spring. All you have to move is the brake line to make them work.

good luck
