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.

Went on easily. Have installed many sets from air lift in the past and these did not disapoint me.

I’ve had the airbags for a year. They work great. I installed them on a 2003 crew cab long bed F250 diesel I drive everyday in my contracting business. I am constantly loaded with tools and trailers and equipment. They have not leaked air and improved the ride of my truck. Easy to install and no issues. Great product.

Easy ordering, easy to find what I needed. Web page was easy to navigate I hate emails Google search anything of that nature. I like to go to the store and buy in person. A hands on type of guy. This process made me feel comfortable and at ease knowing I bought the right product. I highly recommend and thank you for making it simple to find what I needed not to mention got here ahead of time

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.
by: Tony 04/25/2024
It was exactly as described and advertised. Works perfectly on my 2019 Ford F150. It took me longer than expected to install because of the fridge was just filled by my perfect wife who knew I was going to be installing the kit. The kit helps me with towing my travel trailer. My truck looks great jacked up rolling around town but I took it back down to the recommended 5lbs.
by: MB11/09/2022
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.

I have a 2019 Nissan Titan XD with the 5.6 GAS motor. Wanted to do an Airlift suspension to provide a little support and get my headlights perfectly back to level when towing my travel trailer. No one makes an airbag kit for the gas XD, but after discussing it some with John H at etrailer, I decided to go with the kit for the diesel truck and see how things went.
The kit for the diesel truck fit perfectly, except that there is an emissions component hung from a bracket on the driver's sign frame that prevents a direct install of the driver's side bag. My shop was able to install the kit with no trouble - they just had to bend the bracket with the small emissions component attached upwards for clearance. Everything else went in as designed. Great fit - can't wait to see it work under load.

The hitch and box arrived in exceiient conditon. I have yet to take the rig for a good test drive. I took it for a short drive but need more time with ot to fully appreciate its capabilities. The installation was a breeze. Fitment was perfect.
by: Chad10/25/2022
Installed thes a year ago. I use them to pull my 35 foot fifth wheel camper. They are fantastic I recently added the wireless remote air compressor kit. I really love that!
by: Mike R03/05/2024
The product was exactly as advertised. The installation instructions and video were easy to follow.

I FIT THESE ON A NISSAN NV 3500. IT TOOK SOME WELDING ( THERE IS NOT A MODEL FOR THESE BUT MY MECHANIC KNEW HE COULD MAKE IT FIT). THEY ARE GREAT!! YOU CANT OVER LOAD THE TRUCK I KEEP IT AT 70 PSI. I ALSO FITTED AN ELECTRIC COMPRESSOR AND AN ADJUSTABLE 1/4 INCH REGULATOR AND DONT NEED ANY ADJUSTMENT.
by: Warren02/26/2023
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.
by: KATHLEEN B.08/06/2017
We just installed this last night on our truck. The instructions are easy to fallow. We will get our new 5th wheel next weekend so we will see then if they hold up. We love etrailer.com excellent customer service and fast shipping. Chris W thank you so much for taking care of our order so quick!!! We are working so hard on getting everything installed before we get our new 5th wheel!!! Your Amazing!!
by: B. Wilson01/06/2024
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!

If this is what you have installed on your truck, this system will work perfectly. The air springs feature a 5,000 pound load-leveling capacity and they will do a really nice job of enhancing the rear suspension of your F-350 to better handle the weight of your trailer and cargo.

I've attached a video of this installation to assist. This kit will come with the manual inflation valves for adding or removing air pressure. You also may want to consider adding the Air Lift Load Controller II Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Single Path # AL25592. This will give you the ability to...
view full answer... - Are Replacement Bracket Parts Available For Air Springs On A 2001 Ford F-350 To be completely honest it's unbelievably more expensive to part together everything you need versus just purchasing new air spring kit, which would have everything needed for installation. The 5318 part number you provided didn't come back to an Air Lift part number but did come back as a Firestone bellow part number 1T17BB2. Both Air Lift and Firestone have also made it much harder to get replacement brackets because they want you to purchase all new kits and have their warranty. I...

Please take note of the Installation Notes and Tech Tips shown for each kit as these indicate any fit limitations.

view full answer... - Will Air Lift AL57291 Fit 2001 Ford F-250 With Gooseneck HitchThe # AL57291 is designed to fit if you have the B&W 1199R or 1105. If your gooseneck hitch is one of these discontinued B&W models then the air bags will work with your 2001 Ford F-250. If it is not one of these B&W models you will be unable to use this kit with your truck. If you let me know what gooseneck hitch you have and if it is 2WD or 4WD I can see if a different kit is available that would fit.

A good portion of the reason there are so many fits is that there's some overlap from other vehicle fits they had to make for other vehicles that also happen to fit your truck as well as some of the kits have the internal jounce bumper for more support. So we have the part # AL57215 which has the jounce bumper and does not fit with in-bed hitches. This would be great application for heavy...

So you could use a B and W Companion fixed hitch like the part # BWRVK3500 with the rail kit part # BWGNRK1108 which is custom fit for your truck. This will give you what most consider to be the nicest and quietest fifth wheel hitch out there that uses a rail kit that...

Currently B and W is using the 1108 hitch, part # BWGNRK1108 so if this is the hitch you have it has not been tested.

However, there is the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2400 which are similar to the AirLift bags and will give you an air bag system that's compatible with your Turnoverball's brackets.

These and other Air Lift air bags will not work with the # BWGNRK1108. What you can use instead is the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2400. Even if the Air Lift did fit, I would recommend the Firestone since they have a superior design and will be more reliable.

Firestone tells us that their # F2550 is compatible with name-brand gooseneck and 5th wheel hitches, including your B&W # BWGNRK1108 Turnover Ball hitch.

Great product was Incorrect for my B&W hitch but being a welder fabricator I slightly modified the mounts to work properly .the f350 takes the set that mounts to the inside of the spring to work properly these fit atop the spring..
