Airbags + B&W gooseneck possible?

[corn18]

I have Airlift 5000 airbags on my 2015 2500HD.  I want to install a B&W gooseneck hitch with the turnover ball.  Anyone have this combo?

Do your air bag brackets clamp over the frame or bolt to the side of the frame rail?  If not you should be ok.  Ive installed a b&w hitch in a 2013 and it just bolted to the sides of the frame.

The airbags use U bolts over the frame.   From what I can tell, the front U bolts will be blocked by the frame plate for the B&W.  The rear is ok.  I will have to use the bolt they provided for the front of the airbag top holder.

Installed the gooseneck today.  I had to remove the aft u bolt and use the self tapping screw to fit the mounting plate.  The front u bolt would have fit over the mounting plate but I went ahead and replaced it with a self tapping bolt as well.  I can say that these frames are thick and hard to drill a 5/16" hole into.
