5,000-lb Capacity. Designed to upgrade your rear suspension, LoadLifter 5000 air springs provide high-quality, full-time load support. They level your vehicle, improving braking and ride comfort and reducing the strain on your factory suspension.
Features:
Specs:
Air Lift's LoadLifter 5000 was designed with an exact purpose: to provide full-time, first-class support to your 3/4- or 1-ton pickup, motor home, or commercial truck. With this kit, you get a safer ride and simultaneously protect your vehicle from the strain that comes with hauling massive loads.
Carrying heavy cargo in your truck bed or trailer puts tremendous stress on your vehicle. Your brakes erode faster, your tires wear unevenly, and handling suffers severely. When towing, you might also experience excessive sway, bottoming out, and even improper and unsafe headlight aim. Fortunately, there is a solution to these problems. By pairing your existing suspension with the LoadLifter 5000, you can seriously beef up your suspension, ensure equal load distribution, and give your vehicle the support it desperately needs. Air Lift's LoadLifter 5000 provides up to 5,000 pounds of load-leveling capacity and distributes the weight of your payload to all four wheels. As a result, the stress on your OEM suspension is significantly reduced.
LoadLifter's air bags are adjustable from 5 to 100 psi for precise support, and they can be inflated independently of one another for front-to-rear and side-to-side leveling. They are made of high-quality, two-ply, fabric-reinforced rubber. Most air bags lose air at the ends, where the bag is enclosed with a steel cap, because the steel can rust and corrode over time, creating small holes. The endcaps on Air Lift air bags are fashioned from corrosion-proof Zytel nylon, a material that is both stronger and lighter than steel, ensuring that the air bags won't lose air. Also, LoadLifter 5000 comes with Air Lift's exclusive roll plates, which both protect your air springs and beef up the load capacity of the springs.
This system installs with the included brackets and hardware. Just mount the springs, inflate them, and ride. To inflate the LoadLifter springs, you just have to pump air in through the inflation valves. A line kit is included with the springs so that you can install the valves (one for each spring) in an easily accessible area - typically they are installed on the bumper. If you want to make the springs even easier to use, you can get a compressor and gauge system (sold separately).
Air Lift kits are designed to keep your vehicle at normal ride height. You can find the normal ride height of your vehicle by unloading it and measuring the distance between the bottom edge of your wheel well and the center of the hub. After you find and record this distance, you can regulate the amount of air that you put into your air springs to maintain normal ride height - even when you are hauling a heavy load. You will need to adjust the air pressure in your air bags according to the size of your load.
Along with a lifetime warranty that has no mileage restrictions, Air Lift offers a 60-day satisfaction guarantee. Just install and use LoadLifter 5000 springs for 60 days, and if you are not satisfied at the end of this time, you can remove them from your vehicle and return them for a full product refund. Now that's confidence.

I installed these on a 2004 Ram 2500. I have towed an 11k fifth wheel approximately 10,000 miles with them and couldn’t be happier. The hardest part was figuring out where to put the airlines. I decided to run them through the existing frame holes and drill out the top license plate screws to give them a stealthy look with easy access to fill. Install didn’t take more than 2 hours with air tools.
We bought this to stabilize our 3/4 ton pickup we use when pulling our large 5th wheel camper. Does a great job! Glad we bought it!
First, looking at the website was pretty easy to navigate. Ordered product and confirmed delivery email sent that evening. Received two days later. Box a little damaged, but that was on FEDEX. However everything inside in tact and instructions were simple to follow.
The product, I wish I would have gotten these years ago. Makes the unloaded ride much better and not so “horse bucking” that I was used to. I usually loaded the back with 150 lbs of sand. No longer, rides smooth. Haven’t had a loaded test yet but looking forward to it.
Excellent material and the installation instructions were very clear and to the point with the best pictures that coincided with the written material. Only took me 2.5 hours from the start of assembling the air bags with the hardware on the workbench to putting away my tools! This is on my '04 dodge 3500 dually that will be handling my new Host Mammoth Slide in Camper that will set at apprx. 5000 lbs.! Beautiful to maintain level truck and to know that the springs are not collapsed and wearing them down prematurely as well as providing a safe handling truck when on the road.
Was a straight forward installation. Everything went smooth
They work well after fixing leak in line. 4 stars because I don't like the way they sit on the axle housing. I believe it would be much better if you rounded the points where they sit.i will be taking them off to do this myself for piece of mind.
Happy with product and easy to install.
Overall experience with etrailer was very good. Air Lift was installed on a 2004 Dodge 2500 which is used to pull a 36 ft 5th wheel, stock trailer and lots of ton loads of cattle products. The Air Lift system has leveled out the ride, stabilized the ride and overall performance is excellent. The only issue I have is a minor air leak which requires regular checking and adding air. Have not been able to locate this leak and for the time being will just keep checking and adding air as needed. Yes, I would recommend Air Lift!!

The Air Lift system is still performing as expected. The minor air leak was resolved. Under load the system provides a stable ride. When not under a load the ride is a little rougher...I just have to remember it is a 34 ton truck. Yes, I would still recommend the Air Lift system.
I read the instructions and it only took me 2 hours to install.The instructions were spot on , and the air bags went in extremely easy . Thank you
Once again, I received parts that were already delivered to a prior customer. The box looked like it had been through a war and was mangled and taped with God only knows how many rolls of tape. I will be returning this and hope to get a factory fresh, previously unopened box with all parts in protective wrap.
Lauren was so sweet and helpful. Just want to say thank you for all the help. We will always use you in the future. Thank you, Todd.
Exactly what I needed and fit perfect.
Improved stability and eliminated squat on both my trucks. Definitely recommend

Works great
Everything came in excellent condition and installed with ease. Thank you for a great product and quick delivery.
Being a woman, it was a little nerve-racking for me, because I was not exactly sure what I needed. Speaking to another woman that helped me, she did not talk down to me. She helped me a lot. I would never do this online because I’m not exactly sure what I need, but calling and talking to her, she help me get the right parts. I need it it was a very happy outcome.
Received via UPS very fast. Box was a little ragged and the UPS driver waited as I opened it to make sure it was ok. One of the plastic bags holding nuts and bolts had come open allowing them to rattle around inside the box but only was missing a single flat washer. Easy install, I took a lot of breaks and I’m a little slow getting up and down so it took 4 hours. Held pressure overnight. I’m going to haul our 40 ft 5th wheel in a couple of days looking forward to using the air bags

I love the air bags for hauling our 5th wheel RV. Our truck used to squat some but now I run with about 80 lbs and brings truck back to standard height just have to remember to let some air out when unhooked from trailer or ride is a little stiff
Work great, easy install. Money well sp ent!
To speak to a live, professional, knowledgeable person within seconds of calling your company is very rare these days! You are the best company we have dealt with in decades! Please keep up the GREAT WORK!
This was really easy to install and has been a great product so far
Great product and relatively easy to install on your garage floor. Installation videos by etrailer are great if you get stuck. Good product and I'd recommend you get the companion remote air compressor system if you have a camper or carry heavy loads frequently.
These are very easy to install and work very well for lifting my heavy 5th Wheel on to my RAM 2500. I highly recommend these for anyone who question lifting capabilities of their current truck.
I've only had the kit for a few days at this point, but it went together easily and the instructions are some of the better I've used for truck accessories. Full size, full color graphics really help. Following instructions exactly. it went together without any leaks and is performing great.
I have it on a 2018 Ram 3500 and with the bags at 5 PSI I can't really notice any difference in ride quality. I have yet to use it for its intended purpose (truck camper) since I don't have it yet but I'm sure it will improve stability. I can tell a difference is how much the truck leans going around a corner if I just even bump it up to 10psi empty. Only tough part of the install is tightening the bags to the bottom bracket after you have them on and aligned. You'll want to have a 14mm ratcheting wrench to make it not so frustrating.
Easy Install.
Shipping was great FREE!
Just don't fall for the REBATE unless you want a compressor to as it takes both AirLift and Compressor to qualify.
AGAIN READ THE REBATE ad
I have been using this for the past year and have been very pleased. It works as described and I have been very happy with it.
I hauled campers for a living, and adjust the air lift often. I would recommend them for anyone
The Airlift bags are awesome, also always great service from etrailer!

You mentioned that you were experiencing minor air leaks. The easiest to see where the leak is coming from is to use a spray bottle with soap water to spray each fitting to see which is leaking. Once you have found it remove the air line and re cut it. Make sure to get a very straight even cut. An angled or crooked cut will cause leaking every time. Then place it back in and retest.
