Expert Reply:
Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers # AL88240 require that the axles be supported at all times, otherwise the weight could rip the bellows from the brackets. If you used leveling jacks to lift the frame of the motorhome you would need to place a support under the wheels as well, like leveling blocks # UF48-979051. Air Lift has stated that they offer cradles that will attach the lower bracket to help support the springs, so you could also reach out to them for more support solutions.
