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.

So far I haven't not had any issues with the air bags. I would recommend on the air compressor kits with the self leveling feature though.

Arrived quickly. Instructions were good. After supporting frame and suspension I removed the tires for easier installation. It really worked to smooth out the ride and level the truck with the trailer hitched up.

I had placed an order, then realized it was not going to work on my truck. Call and got a very nice lady to cancel the original order and placed a new one with the right part. It arrived in 2 days! Have not yet installed but looks to be what I need.

Great customer service
by: Stephen05/26/2022
I first purchased the Air Lift LoadLifter in an attempt to help reduce trailer sway and handling of my truck when towing my travel trailer. The far exceeded my expectations. Having the ability to get both my truck and my trailer completely level has made an enormous difference in towing. These air bags are not designed to reduce trailer sway, but being able to tow with everything level and having anti-sway mechanism is the perfect pair. I only wished I had found them earlier and there would be been several less "white knuckle" driving experiences.
by: Mike11/22/2021
Product worked very well once I was able to designate compressor and tank mounting locations. The mount bracket I used from Air Lift did not work for my tank positioning.I had to makeshift and install it in the bed. Actually worked out for the best because the finished install is secure in the bed with a power retractable bed cover. A year later with no issues and the unit still looks as new and not grimy like it would be if under the truck. I've had friends ask me to do installs now.
by: Kyle 05/23/2021
Purchased the air bags just to provide a little help with ride while towing our travel trailer. Our travel trailer is 6900 GVW with a tongue weight around 650. Just by adding about 20-25 psi the bags did the trick and our 1/2 ton p/u rides much better when traveling over backroads. Did the installation myself and it was easy.

I purchase a set of airbag helper spring along with a set of longview mirrors to assist with towing. Both parts arrived on time with no problems. I'm looking forward to take a trip to test these new accessories. Everything installed as advertised and performs better than expected.
by: Peter06/18/2021
was pretty simple to install watched a tube video along with the instruction booklet. 1 thing when you go to put the u bolts on and tighten up to the frame make sure that the bracket is sitting on the outside of the two tabs or else you will have issues down the road with the bracket loosening up. bracket must be sitting flush on frame

Good product went on and fit as shown in video. The video was a nice feature just wish it would have had split loom for over the airline and a 1/4 tee for single shrader value use

The air lift helps me level my truck very well when I loaded it down. They help with the night driving so I don’t get flashed with high beams all the time. Thanks so much

- Differences Between Air Lift Air Bags For a 4WD 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500First one reason there are so many kits for your 2021 Chevrolet Silverado is due to the Trail Boss coming with a suspension lift right from the factory. So half the available kits can only be used on the Trail Boss trim level. There are going to be 2 kits that are available. First is the kit I always recommend using the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate. These air bags have internal jounce bumpers which help reduce bounce that you may get from the additional load. The bumpers also help...
view full answer... - Difference Between Air Lift Air Bag Kits for a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTD 4WDThe first big difference between all of the Air Lift LoadLifter air springs kits for your 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 LTD 4WD has to do with whether or not you have the Trail Boss model or trucks with the Adaptive Ride Control. Since you didn't mention either of these we can disregard those notes and that leaves us with 3 kits: Kit # AL57288 is the base model unit that comes with standard air bags and lines. Kit # AL88288 is the next step up as it uses standard air bags and lines, but the...

If there is a 5" lift on the truck then use the Lift Spacers for Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2373 which work with both Air Lift and Firestone air bags.

The 1 inch rear lift will not impact the installation or function of this system and no spacers will be needed. You may want to consider adding an air compressor for adjustment at your fingertips at anytime.

The LoadLifter 5000 is designed to fit both 4-wheel drive and 2-wheel drive models. As far as suspension enhancement, the springs will provide 5,000 pounds of load-leveling support on your rear axel to handle the extra weight from your 5th-wheel trailer.

For your rear axle, the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57288 is a great option that will work for both 2-wheel drive and 4-wheel drive options. In addition, the LoadLifter 5000 will allow you to inflate the air bags independently in order to get the levelling you want. The system provides a maximum support capacity of 5,000 pounds.

This air bag system provides high-quality, full-time load support by leveling your truck to improve braking and ride comfort and reduce the strain on your factory suspension. Not only do these airbags improve handling but they will also help prevent your brakes from eroding faster and uneven wear on your tires due to heavy loads.

view full answer... - Recommended Air Spring Kit For A 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali 4x4 I do personally prefer Firestone air springs over Air Lift, but for your specific vehicle the Firestone kit available will limit your compatibility with in-bed hitches. I recommend going with the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57288 so that you'll still be able to install and/or use an in-bed hitch. These springs have a 5,000lb capacity to help offset suspension sag and keep your ride height level. If you plan on hauling different loads regularly and need to adjust your...

This kit offers a one-time simple bolt-on install. It can be easily adjusted for any given load to get the best mix of support and comfort.

The reason this is the best option is because with air bags, you can adjust the pressure for any given load so you always get the best mix of support and comfort. If you add an on-board compressor system like the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System for Air Helper Springs part # AL58WQ you can control...
view full answer... - Air Bag Suspension Enhancement for 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 DenaliI have a solution for you but since the Denali models of the 2020 GMC Sierra have the adaptive cruise control the Air Lift kit part # AL57288 will not work. Instead we have the Firestone kit part # F2609 that does fit this configuration and would work great.

The only solution we can offer you would be to buy a whole new kit with air bags, mounting plates and all. It may be possible to source hardware directly from Air Lift. There are quite a few pieces needed for this kit, as you can see from the list below. Otherwise getting a whole new kit will be the only option.

- Recommended Suspension System for 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 with Weight DistributionThe best option to get the perfect mix of support and ride quality when towing or hauling is with air bags since you can adjust the pressure for each load. The air bags I recommend for a 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 is the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57288. The SuoSprings would not do much to provide additional help alongside a weight distribution system and RAS.

I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2609 which my contact at Firestone was able to confirm will fit your 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali and will not interfere with the adaptive ride control. The # AL57288 you were looking at is not compatible with the adaptive ride control.

The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57204 which is for a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 won't fit.
view full answer... - Recommended Air Spring System for 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500I personally prefer the Air Lift # AL57288 over the Firestone # F2609, because of the design of the air bags themselves. The Air Lift bags are constructed using roll plates where the spring meets the mounting bracket. This actually increases the capacity as well as helping to prevent the springs from being damaged. You can use air springs along with a trailer that has weight distribution. Set the air springs as you'd typically have them, and then install and set up the weight distribution...

One being the Firestone bags are best made options out there, and unlike Air Lift Firestone makes a 3 inch spacer with the # F2367 which would be the actual size you need.

The Air Lift # AL57388 is only for the Trail Boss trims since it comes with a factory lift installed.
