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 protect your vehicle from the strain that comes with hauling massive loads.
Levels Your Load
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 inaccurate 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.
The LoadLifter 5000 kit will help 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 send to your air springs to maintain normal ride height - even when you are hauling a heavy load. Simply adjust the air pressure in your air bags according to the size of your load.
Adjustable and Durable Air Springs
LoadLifter's air bags are adjustable from 5 to 100 psi for precise support, and they can be inflated equally for front-to-back leveling or independently of one another for 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.
Easy Installation
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 manual inflation valves (1 for each spring). These are typically mounted on the bumper but can be installed anywhere on your vehicle in an easily accessible area. If you want to make the springs even easier to use, you can get a compressor and gauge system (sold separately).
Lifetime Warranty
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.

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
by: Gary 04/24/2024
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 .

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.

The product was exactly as advertised. The installation instructions and video were easy to follow.

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.

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.

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.
by: James 04/25/2024
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: 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!

My technical sheet specifies the only exclusion being 4WD vehicles with a 24,000 or 26,000 GVWR. From my research, your Fleetwood Bounder has a GVWR of 22,000 lbs so if you can confirm that, this kit is fully compatible and a great choice to upgrade your OEM suspension. If you don't already have a compressor, I highly recommend the Firestone Air Command Compressor...

view full answer... - Suspension Enhancement to Improve Ride Quality of 2017 Thor Windsport 29MYou might begin by reviewing the acceptable range of inflation for the tires on your coach as well as examining the existing suspension to ensure it's in good shape. If that all checks out, I'd recommend going with an air ride suspension from Air Lift. An air ride system like # AL57344 for the rear axle and # AL88240 for the front axle would allow you to adjust the firmness of the ride until its perfect for your needs. An onboard dual-path compressor system like # AL25856 would allow you...

Then for the front we have the # AL57240 and you'd be set! To make inflating and maintaining air pressure in the bags I would also highly recommend a dual path compressor kit which will allow you to keep the front and rear bags inflated to separate pressures. For that you'd want the heavy duty kit part # AL25856 and you'd be set.

This will allow you to use the Front # AL88240 and Rear # AL57344 Air Lift air bag helper springs. For an in cab controller I recommend the Load Controller I Compressor System # AL25651. This has dual path capabilities which will allow you to use different compressors for the front and rear air springs.

view full answer... - Air Helper Springs vs SumoSprings for 2017 Jayco Alante Class A MotorhomeAir helper springs have their advantages and disadvantages. You can adjust the pressure in the system according to the load, but the weight of a motorhome won't vary much so you wouldn't really benefit from that adjustability. In my opinion you'd be better off using a system like the SumoSprings part # SSF-170-40-2. The system will provide up to 2600 lbs which is plenty to cover the tongue weight of the trailer you're pulling. The benefit of this system is that they're maintenance free,...

If your motorhome has a 24,000 lb or 26,000 lb GVWR then the suspension upgrade you need is the SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs # SSR-183-54-1. Please note, the SumoSprings...

Air springs are designed to keep a level ride height and prevent sag but they do not lift the vehicle's ride height a significant amount.

I can also confirm that the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs item # AL88240 you referenced also fit the 31V model.

I also recommend installing the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System # AL25980 because it allows you to monitor and adjust the air bags from the comfort of your Jayco 31V and with the hand-held remote you don't have to run air lines to your cabin like you would with an analog gauge.

- Rear Helper Spring Recommendation for 2018 Fleetwood Class A Motorhome on 24K GVWR Ford F-53 ChassisUnfortunately, neither Firestone nor AirLift offer an air helper spring fit for the 24K GVWR Ford F-53 chassis. We do offer a helper spring option that will work for you, however. I'd recommend the SumoSprings Maxim helper springs, part # SSR-187-54-1 which is compatible with a 2018 Fleetwood motorhome on a 24K GVWR Ford F-53 chassis. A progressive load control spring like the SumoSpring has some advantages over an air helper spring system. There are no air bags or lines to deteriorate...

Air Lift also makes high quality air bag kits so this would be a really great option.

That said, they both mount outside of the frame in the same spot so you would not be able to use both.

I recommend using the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System # AL74000 as it has a smart manifold and dual path feed which will allow you to connect the front and rear separately. The smart manifold will monitor the air pressure for you while you drive and automatically make adjustments should it change by more than 3psi.
