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.

Excellent. Air Bag kit came in 2 days. Installed today on a 2022 Ford F150 Platinum 4X4 with rear axle mounted headlight leveling arm. Installed in a couple hours. Looks great and works excellent!
by: Timothy11/11/2023
It seems like the design was not re-engineered for the current (2023) model ford f150. The directions for brackets for brake lines and wire harness are not the same as in the instructions. Also the I bolt on the drivers side does not clear the brake line. I had to disconnect the brake line all along the groans to make it fit. Now the brake lines are not mounted the way they’re supposed to be. I hope I don’t have a problem with that.
by: George 08/23/2023
These are really Great! Took our mechanic 2 hours to install, we didn't do it ourselves, wanted to make sure they were installed correctly. Did not change the ride of our new truck one bit. Easy to fill with air, and made our trailer nice and level with the truck, no sagging. It was a perfect fit! The price was great too!!

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.

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

I was really happy with etrailer and would highly recommend them and have to many people this past year. My motor home needed these air bags and I called the manufacturer and gave them my vin number which has always been what was needed for anything I have had the purchase with any of my vehicles. But the person that I delt with said he needed the frame number I said where do I find that and he said I would have to call the manufacturer of the motor home.So I called Newmar and they said to call ford I called ford and never got a call back . I called etrailer and gave them the vin number and two days later I had the parts and installed them the next day . Thank you for having people that know what they are talking about and making my experience a good one .
by: Randy02/09/2023
I installed these air lift bags in a day. It was a lot longer than I thought, but it was in the middle of winter in an unheated shop and only basic hand tools. No hoist, so there were a lot of up and down trips with a creeper. Very good installation manual which made the process easy. Very happy with the purchase.

- Recommended Rear Helper Spring Option to Eliminate Suspension Sag of 2022 Ford F-150I'd be happy to assist with that. Back when most folks didn't use pickup trucks as daily drivers, trucks had stiffer rear suspensions. As trucks began selling better, more folks used them as a passenger vehicle, rather than the workhorse they were originally intended as. People then found that trucks ride like buckboards, and consumers complained. The vehicle manufacturers have replied to consumer complaints of poor ride quality by making the rear suspensions of their half ton trucks...
view full answer... - Can I Install the Air Compressor Later on a 2022 Ford F-150?Yes, you can! The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs item # AL47PD you were looking at come with manual inflation valves so you can adjust them with any air compressor. These air bags are confirmed to fit your 2022 Ford F-150. I have linked an installation video below so you can see how to get these air bags set up. I have also linked one for the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System item # AL25980EZ you were looking at.
view full answer... - Recommendation For Reducing Sag & Sway While Towing a V-Nose Enclosed Trailer Behind 2022 Ford F-150I have a recommendation for you as the unique design and short length of your trailer tongue on your 2011 Stealth Prowler 23 enclosed trailer does not allow for a traditional weight distribution and sway hitch. You may be able to use the B&W Continuum Weight Distribution System # BW78FR but as it is rated for trailers with a tongue weight of 600-1,600lbs with a trailer weight up to 16,000lbs it may be overkill for your truck and trailer. I recommend installing the Tuson Asymmetric Sway...

- Helper Springs Options and Recommendations for 2021 Ford F150 4x4Although the SumoSprings # SSR-117-47 aren't a fit for your 2021 Ford F150, there are options available for your truck. If you prefer a jounce bumper replacement style helper spring, the Timbren # TFR1504E Aeon spring system would work well for you. The nice thing about a jounce replacement is that there's a 1 to 1-1/2 inch preload on the springs, so unless you're towing or carrying cargo in the truck bed, the helper springs won't come into play until the rear suspension is compressed...
view full answer... - Do Air Lift LoadLifter Kits Allow For Articulation When Driving off Road?Air bag kits like the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 # AL47PD do allow for articulation when off road driving. If you have the air bags set to the minimum of 5 psi, the suspension will still be able to travel most of the way on your 2021 F-150 Tremor. Technically it will limit travel slightly, but not so much as to hamper your trucks ability to drive off road.

This airbag system has a 5,000 pound capacity and is designed to upgrade your rear suspension. This system is better then the # AL47PD because they have internal bumpers that will help make the ride smoother. This system lets you manually adjust air pressure to get the even load distribution and support that you need. Using these springs...
view full answer... - How to Choose Correct Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Bag Kit for a 2021 Ford F-150 4WDThanks for reaching out, Steve! Both Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 kits, parts # AL47PD and # AL82WQ, fit a 2021 Ford F-150 4WD. The only difference is whether your truck has the CCD (Continuously Controlled Dampening)/Onboard Scales, or the PowerBoost Hybrid engine: - Kit # AL47PD is NOT compatible with the parts mentioned above - Kit # AL82WQ IS compatible with the PowerBoost Hybrid engine but not the CCD or Onboard Scales Attached is an installation video for you to check out!

All of our suspension components including the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL47PD for your 2021 F-150 are designed to fit the truck at its stock ride height. While there are some spacers which allow you to use certain products on a lifted trucks there is no way to bolt on anything we carry for your lowered truck. A Weight Distribution Hitch # EQ37100ET can be used to help distribute the rear tongue weight more evenly across your F-150. While this will likely not eliminate...

- Which Air Bags For 2024 Ford F-150 4WD With EcoBoost EngineHi Cole, There are a couple options for air bags for your 2024 Ford F-150 4WD with the EcoBoost engine, it just depends on if your truck is equipped with Continuously Controlled Damping (CCD) or the optional Onboard Scales. I didn't see an option for an F-150 Sport model so I can't tell you if your model has the option for Damping. So here is what you'd use, depending on your set up: - WITHOUT Scales or CCD: Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL47PD - WITH Scales or CCD: Firestone...

I then took a look at the Air Lift # AL47PD, but the issue there is they use U-bolts that go over the frame to mount, and the Curt brackets have the pronounced hump right where they would go. So instead, of air bags, I highly recommend the...

- Will The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Helper Springs Change the Factory Ride Height on 2023 Ford F-150? While the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL47PD were not designed to change the factory ride height on your 2023 Ford F-150 Lariat, I would not be surprised if you did see a little height gained. Typically the height gained is from the sag your factory springs have developed over the years of use. It is not a problem with the factory leaf springs it is just how all springs are as they age they will sag. Personally I prefer the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper...

You can manually inflate the air bags as needed or install the Air Lift Load Controller Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Dual Path, # AL25856.

It is the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs item # AL54JQ. These have a 5,000 lbs weight capacity which will be more than sufficient to handle the extra tongue weight your trailer is adding to the rear end. I really like this model of helper springs because it has an internal jounce bumper. The jounces work as a fail-safe if air springs lose pressure. The air bags reduce...

If you have CCD suspension then there is not going to be a compatible kit for your F-150. If you don't have a PowerBoost hybrid engine then Air Lift # AL47PD you were looking at would be a fit.
