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.

Quick shipping and great customer service. Install went very well and has helped reduce the rear sag on our 01 F350 dually. We have a +3200lb Palomino truck camper in the bed. My next project will be replacing stock sway bars with heavier duty sway bars.
by: Dan02/23/2022
After one year they are still working great. Had my 3,000lb plus slide in camper on the pickup for over six months of that time. So far they have been great.

1999 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty
Overall I am quite pleased. The install took me about 3 1/2 hours. Now that I know how to do it, I could probably get it done in 2 1/2. The kit comes with an instruction booklet, but the directions aren't the easiest to follow. etrailer has an install video that makes the process much simpler. I installed this kit in conjunction with a B&W gooseneck hitch and they work flawlessly together. I plan to use this truck to tow my 24' gooseneck trailer. It's primary use is on the farm and I haul some heavy loads. I also have installed the Airlift compressor. All together, it makes a nice setup.

The air bag kit is good for the adjustability in ride. Depending on your load. Only issue was my non standard exhaust by the passenger side bag. I like the fit inside the frame vs the old style I had which sat outside of the frame. Great stability with my fifth wheel being towed. Easy install.
by: Scott04/29/2020
The airlift system, kit 57390, was exactly what I wanted. I have a gooseneck hitch in my 2000 F350 and it works perfectly. Easy to install it and am very satisfied with it.

Air Lift air springs are good and dependable, use them for the last 25 years on three pick-ups always worked great. My complaint would be against the lousy packaging which came with two or three holes and all messed up, luckily all that was missing was one washer.
by: Russell03/19/2024
Installation of the Loadlifter 5000 kit went smoothly, no issues at all. One of the best advantages of having this system on my F-150 is the stabilization it provides when towing our camper. I tow a 6,000 lb camper with an 800 lb hitch weight. I use a weight distribution hitch so the truck and camper ride level, as they should. The difference with the Loadlifter system is that it controls the bounce, providing a much more stable and controlled ride. I highly recommend this air spring kit in conjunction with a weight distribution hitch. When you don't need to added support of the air springs, ie no load, just drop the air pressure down to 5 lbs and you don't know they are there.
by: Brian04/04/2022
just getting done putting my 5000 Justable air springs put them on about three hours I didn’t have any left I did them on the ground so that’s not too bad I’m gonna be sending some pictures along with us so thanks very much and I hope they work
by: Justin05/28/2024
After owning this kit foe a year, I love it. The install went smooth and easy. The app and the remote link up in seconds and it has helped with towing our 5th wheel. It gets the rear-end up so that it is at normal height.
That way I am not blinding people with my lights at night. The truck does ride more smooth with the airbags pumped up while towing. The only negatives are that even with the minimum 5 PSI in the bags, the truck has a more rigid ride when nor towing. The bags also raise the rear end up quite a bit, even when deflated.
by: Mike 05/20/2024
Installation was easy (I didn’t install a compressor). Might be obvious to most, but remove the rear tires and it’ll be much easier.
Just a couple of pulses from my compressor (I use a portable that stays inside my van for emergency) and the van lifts right up. I was able to perfectly level my van and my trailer. I only used a lower pressure and that tells me there is a lot of lift left.
The ride empty is noticeable, but not harsh. More just on a little firmer side using about 5 psi as recommended minimum. The ride loaded is great, as there is less wander in the front. Note that my van and trailer were close to level and I got the airbags just to finish off the ride (I wasn’t having major problems).
Sara was the best too. She understood my questions and gave very informed answers. Very much appreciated.

- Correct Air Bags, Compressor and Lift Spacer for 2001 Ford F-250The correct Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs for a 2001 Ford F-250 is part # AL57390. If you have a lift then you will indeed need spacers like the Air Lift Universal Air Spring Spacers part # AL52460 which match the actual lift in the rear of the truck. For a compressor system, the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System part # AL58WQ is what I recommend. This is a complete setup that has everything you need to go. The AL57215 requires drilling and the AL57390 is drill free...

What you need is either the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57393 is your '04 F-250 is 2WD or # AL57390 if your F-250 is 4WD. These springs come with hardware and that will allow you to use them with a gooseneck hitch, though it will require you to drill a hole in the brackets if your...

- B and W Gooseneck Hitch and Air Lift Suspension Kit Recommendation for 2001 Ford F-250The 1105R is no longer made but I do have a solution for you. For a B and W hitch you would want the part # BWGNRK1108 which is confirmed as a fit for your 2001 Ford F-250 and then for an Air Lift Kit confirmed to fit this hitch you would want the part # AL57393.
view full answer... - Air Bag Suspension Kit for 2003 Ford F350 Compatible with B&W Gooseneck Hitch Although we do have an air suspension solution that's compatible with your 2003 Ford F350, Air Lift can't guarantee the fit of their # AL57390 with your B&W Gooseneck. However, Firestone offers the # F2550 which is a confirmed fit. The air bag mounts use an existing hole in the hitch mounting bracket that allows it to attach. According to Firestone, occasionally the hole in the hitch bracket and the air bag mount won't match up, but in that instance extra hardware is included to ensure...
view full answer... - Air Suspension Kit Recommendation for a 2002 Ford F-250 with B and W Turnover Ball Gooseneck HitchPersonally I like the Firestone kits like the part # F2550 that has been confirmed to fit your 2002 Ford F-250 with a fifth wheel hitch installed in it. The bump stops of the Air Lift kits are redundant in that they don't really do anything beyond what a standard air bag already does. For a compressor kit to make inflating and maintaining pressure in the bags easy I would recommend the part # F2158.
view full answer... - Air Helper Spring Kit for 2000 Ford F250 Compatible with PullRite Super Glide 5th Wheel HitchFirestone tells us that they have air helper springs for a 2000 Ford F250 that's compatible with most in-bed hitch systems, part # F2550. The mounting brackets attach to the inside of the truck frame member directly above the axle, so it shouldn't interfere with a 5th wheel hitch bracket that mounts to the outside of the frame member. I've linked to an install video as well as the installation instructions that show exactly how the air helper springs kit fits to the vehicle.
view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Hitch Compatible Air Helper Spring System for 2001 Ford F 2-350 In some instances, the install brackets that connect the fifth wheel bed rails to the truck frame will occupy the same space needed to install the air suspension. Folks with slide-in campers and people that routinely haul lots of weight in their truck beds might need the suspension enhancement even though they don't tow a gooseneck or fifth wheel. This being said, there are options for air springs that are compatible with a fifth wheel hitch. If your truck has a GVWR over 8500 lbs, the...

Out of the available options the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers # AL88390 seems to be the only clear cut fit since it has the least amount of restrictions. It's not going to be compatible with a B&W or Reese fifth wheel hitch so I recommend checking out the instructions for the...

You can use Timbren springs, # TFR250SDE. These springs are not air bags but they do work independently from each other and are ideal for carrying the same or similar loads in the truck like when towing a 5th wheel or gooseneck trailer. I have linked a video showing an installation, the instructions,...

The only advantage the # AL88390 has is it has an internal jounce bumper for additional support. The Reese Fifth Wheel install kit part # RP50082 that you referenced installs on the outboard side of the vehicle frame.

Instead you can use kit # AL57215 that mounts on your leaf springs. The written install instructions are linked for reference.

They are still working and seem in good shape. I’ve pulled horses, flat bed trailers and all of them loaded with animals or multiply machinery etc. They are great to have and have worked great since day one.
