I have a question, and I'm sure at least 1 person in here has probablly run into the same problem I have.


I have a 2003 2500hd duramax, ext. cab short-bed. I just installed a "Turn-Over" Ball Gooseneck Hitch. I just bought a 40' Exiss Trailer, and I'm looking to install Suspension Air Bags in the rear of the truck.
The dilema I have is that I cannot have both. Even when I installed the hitch, I moved it back about 9" from where they reccomend, for the main reason, the front of the trailer would hit the cab. Looking in the wheel well, i have about 2" to play with before I hit the gooseneck hitch. Do I install the airbags foward from center?


Thanks for your help.

I solved my problem, they now have a diff. setup when you have a gooseneck hitch.


The PN: from Air Lift is: 57275 for the air bag kit.
