Challenger MT655E, Massey Ferguson 7495, Challenger MT535B, Krone 4x4 XC baler, (2) Kubota ZD331’s, 2020 Ram 5500 Cummins 4x4, IH 7500 4x4 dump truck, Kaufman 35’ tandem 19 ton trailer, Deere CX-15, Pottinger Hay mowers
So my '08 F-250 has Firestone airbags in fine working condition (no gooseneck hitch, just bumper hitch)
My 08 F-350 has a B&W turnover gooseneck hitch, but no air bags.
I'm selling the F-250 and I'd like to transfer airbag kit to the 350. However on visual inspection, it looks like the mounts interfere with each other.
Anyone have a work-around?

Buy new air bags to fit the 350.
Trying a work around will likely not be worth the hassle.

Why? The kit fits both trucks. Only difference is BW hitch is in the way. I don’t make politician money. :laughing:

Got a link? Is this just the mounts so I can reuse compressor, cab switch and some of the lines???? Save a few bucks?

I have a 2012 F-250 with the B&W turnover ball hitch AND the Firestone air bags installed. I had them both installed by my hitch dealer (package deal). To my (defective) memory, they didn't have to do anything special to make it work. I'm sure you already know you give up the factory jounce bumper stops when you put on the Firestone bags (with or without the hitch install).

If you can give me an idea on what portion you think will interfere on your install, I can try to get under mine today and take a few pictures of those areas for you.
