Default Airbags with B&W

Anyone here run airbags and also have a b&w hitch? If so which airbag brand works around the hitch frame? I'm thinking about bags now but don't know which ones are good or will work around the hitch.

I have the fire stone bags on mine with lifted blocks and everything. I pull a 5th wheel converted to goose neck with my B&W hitch. Great set up for the most part except I have a mega cab. Just finished repairing a mangled cab corner. it is sitting in primer as we speak.

My dads 06 F350 has a firestone airbag kit and the b&w turnover ball kit. its a great combination and really helps especially with all the hay we move. its a very good set up and i would only recommment b&w for gooseneck hitches and firestone for bag kits. Just my .02

On my old 05 i had the b&W and airlift 5,000# bags , and my dad runs this setup on both his 05 and his 06 and love em. Just my .02. I really liked em when we were are pulling the telehandler and a buddy also runs this setup for hay on his 48' gooseneck. They are a little bit cheaper than the firestones and i think the bags themselves have a lifetime warrenty on them

I have firestones with lift blocks and they work well with the B&W system. I had the same question 4 yrs ago when I was in the market, so I called B&W and they said that most of the bags would not affect the hitch mount but if it did I could modify as needed and still be under warranty. Dont know if thats still the case but they are really easy to talk to and have great support if you choose to call them yourself.

I ran firestone bags with my B&W on my Kingranch and mr brother runs the same setup on his 01 f350. It is a great combo.
