Note: When servicing your truck with Air Lift air springs installed, if the truck is lifted by the frame, the air must be let out of the springs. And if the rear of the truck is lifted during service, then it must be supported by jack stands to avoid damage to the air springs.
Air Lift's LoadLifter 5000 was designed with an exact purpose: to provide full-time, first-class support to your 1/2-ton, 3/4-ton, or 1-ton pickup. 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 lbs of load-leveling capacity and distributes the weight of your payload to all 4 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, 2-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.

Video Transcript for Review of Air Lift Vehicle Suspension - Rear Axle Suspension Enhancement - AL73DQ
Hello neighbors, Steven here with etrailer.com. Today, we're looking at the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs and it's a kit for the rear axle. Now folks, this is a custom fit application, so what you wanna do is you want to go to our homepage here at etrailer.com, enter things like your year, make and model, cab size, bed length, 4 wheel drive, et cetera, whatever it asks you, to be ensured you're getting the right parts the first time. Now, as of this current video, this fits a '23 through 2024 Ford F350 Super Duty 4 Wheel Drive. Keep in mind, years could change, videos could be outdated, and it could fit newer years, so always, always check our fit guide. Now folks, this will provide you with, your vehicle rather, up to 5,000 pounds of load leveling support.
It is going to reduce the strain on your rear suspension and help improve both the safety and the ride quality. It has been designed for heavy duty applications, such as 1/2 ton, 3/4 ton, and 1 ton pickup trucks and it will keep your vehicle level when you're hauling a heavy load. So a lot of times, you're loaded up and if it's heavy in the rear, it's gonna push your headlights up and the front of your truck up. This will also help put that headlight aim back to a normal safe position. It can help improve your steering and braking performance and it'll help keep your tires from wearing unevenly.
So if you have less pressure on one side versus the other and that kind of stuff, you're gonna help it wear evenly when you get that back to normal. Now you can manually adjust the air pressure to get the even load distribution and support you need. You can level your vehicle front to rear with these and you can inflate each spring independently for side to side leveling. So maybe you got like a salt spreader in the back of the truck, a camper in the bed of your truck, something like that, where it's just heavier on one side. You can inflate these independently and put one side up versus the other, et cetera, to level it out.
Now this does diminish sway and absorb road shock for a smooth ride. It does come with air lifts, exclusive upper and lower roll plates. Now those will help protect the spring from damage and extend the life of the air springing suspension. The bags are constructed of a two-ply fabric reinforced rubber, while the plastic end caps that are hidden under these silver pieces here, those are made of a high strength Zytel nylon, which is a lot lighter, stronger, and more corrosion resistant than the steel ones out there on the market. All your mounting brackets are heavy duty high density steel that's been black powder coated for superior rust prevention and that kind of stuff.
You have manual air inflation valves and you get an airline with the Schrader valves already installed. You get a heat plate, or heat guard rather, for the one side where the muffler is. All the mounting hardware, the U-bolts, the brackets, keep in mind I've got all this mocked up here just for viewing purposes only. Obviously, the U-bolts and that other bracket there on the table here would go around the axle, on the frame part there, to mount these in place. So again, everything here is just loosely fit together for demonstration purposes. Okay, I see the bag compress and hear that air. You're gonna have between 5 PSI minimum all up to 100 PSI max in these bags. Follow the instructions, use the recommended starting PSI included in the instructions. You get a nice lifetime warranty on the bags, the hardware, everything here. I want to say that these are made in the USA, so it's a nice addition as well, everything made here in the US. If you want a compressor with an end cap gauge, that kind of stuff, that is sold separately, you can purchase that separately here at etrailer and then you could monitor and automatically adjust the air pressure on the fly from inside the cab without getting out to manually do it. Well folks, that's gonna wrap it up for our look at this Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Helper Spring Kit for your rear axle. I'm Steven, thank you so much for your time. Thanks for watching and stay safe.

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.

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

After owning this kit foe a year, I love it. The install went smooth and easy. The app and the remote link up in seconds and it has helped with towing our 5th wheel. It gets the rear-end up so that it is at normal height.
That way I am not blinding people with my lights at night. The truck does ride more smooth with the airbags pumped up while towing. The only negatives are that even with the minimum 5 PSI in the bags, the truck has a more rigid ride when nor towing. The bags also raise the rear end up quite a bit, even when deflated.
by: Mike 05/20/2024
Installation was easy (I didn’t install a compressor). Might be obvious to most, but remove the rear tires and it’ll be much easier.
Just a couple of pulses from my compressor (I use a portable that stays inside my van for emergency) and the van lifts right up. I was able to perfectly level my van and my trailer. I only used a lower pressure and that tells me there is a lot of lift left.
The ride empty is noticeable, but not harsh. More just on a little firmer side using about 5 psi as recommended minimum. The ride loaded is great, as there is less wander in the front. Note that my van and trailer were close to level and I got the airbags just to finish off the ride (I wasn’t having major problems).
Sara was the best too. She understood my questions and gave very informed answers. Very much appreciated.

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: 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 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.

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: Mike R03/05/2024
The product was exactly as advertised. The installation instructions and video were easy to follow.
by: Daniel 03/12/2023
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: Doug05/24/2024
Does not fit well on ford ranger. Not compatible with daystar cradles. Would get Firestone’s if had to do this again
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.
by: Jim M06/06/2024
I am impressed with the engineering of this product and the clear installation instructions. It took me 4 hours to install taking my time and never doing it before. At 5 psi the truck is at factory ride height. This will be a game changer for pulling bigger trailers.
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: Roger 05/18/2024
We bought this to stabilize our 3/4 ton pickup we use when pulling our large 5th wheel camper. Does a great job! Glad we bought it!
by: Mark 05/19/2024
The bags arrived ahead of scheduled delivery and all the parts were there. I watched the etrailer YouTube video and installation went smoothly, also the installation instructions had a few tips that made installation easier. This is my second purchase from etrailer and both purchases went smoothly
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: 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: 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: Victoria 05/17/2024
Works great!
Love the compressor and the fab pressure regulator
by: Jon07/08/2023
The air bags fit perfectly and the directions were easy to follow. I am genuinely impressed with the customer service. I called with a concern for the shipping, and had great assistance from the representatives I spoke with. Well done, and thank you.
by: Wade05/15/2024
Works great! After about 6mo I did have to tighten a fitting on one side that was leaking but it’s been great!
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!
by: Matt05/13/2024
Excellent material and the installation instructions were very clear and to the point with the best pictures that coincided with the written material. Only took me 2.5 hours from the start of assembling the air bags with the hardware on the workbench to putting away my tools! This is on my '04 dodge 3500 dually that will be handling my new Host Mammoth Slide in Camper that will set at apprx. 5000 lbs.! Beautiful to maintain level truck and to know that the springs are not collapsed and wearing them down prematurely as well as providing a safe handling truck when on the road.
