Can you use airbags with a turn over ball?

Hey folks,

I searched, searched and searched. I just couldn't find an answer to my question although I'm sure its been asked here before.

I'm about 2ish years away from getting my goose neck trailer, and with in a year of getting the hitch and the spray in liner. My question is, I'm planning on a 35' goose with an overdeck on the goose. My intention is to put a pop-up trailer ON the over deck, and I may need to use airbags to help raise the rearend or atleast help support the weight.

After looking at a friends ford I noticed that his turn over ball lever is directly in line with the axle tubes, and I'm sure thats just where the air bags would go on the suspension. Is there a way to re-route the lever for the turn over ball, or some other way around this? I don't want to have to crawl under the truck to get to the lever! There is a chance that I may not NEED the airbags, but I'm trying to plan this all out, and would like to have the airbags if needed. I figure the 35'er with x2 4wd trucks, pop-up trailer (w/out axle) and water, fuel, batts, and gear would be a nice weight on the front of the trailer/rear end of the truck.

Once again, I'm sure this question has been asked, I just would like to have my route all planned out to avoid any wasted money or time.

Thanks in advance,

Corey
