Specs:
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. 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.
The system installs easily, with many kits requiring no drilling at all. Just install, inflate and ride. And using the system is easy too. 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. 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.

Hello, Steven here with etrailer.com. Today we're looking at these Air Lift LiftLoader 5000 Air Helper Springs for your front axle. Now with anything that is vehicle specific, we wanna make sure you use our etrailer.com fit guide and just type in your year, make, and model. And in this case, it's gonna tell you that these fit the 2000 to 2005 Ford Excursions, the '99 to 2004 F-250-350 Super Duties, and the '99 to '04 Ford F-350, 450, 550 cabin chassis, the F-450 and F-550. Now these Air Springs will help keep your vehicle level when you're carrying a heavy load. They're gonna improve steering and braking performance.
And with this kit you can manually adjust the air pressure to get your even load distribution and the support that you need. You can level front to rear of your vehicle with Air Springs. Now keep in mind that you will need a compressor system with such things like in cab gauge. That compressor system is gonna be sold separately. And these are made in the USA.
They have a 60 day satisfaction guarantee and a lifetime warranty. That's right, lifetime. Now as far as the dimensions and everything, this diameter of these air springs themselves are gonna be 7 inches and the air height is gonna be 7-7/64 of an inch. And whenever it's compressed, the max height is compressed it's gonna be 1-57/64 of an inch. Now it does come with all the brackets you see here, nuts, bolts, everything, the little valve to inflate the bag, and it's gonna come with the bottom bracket and the matching hardware as well.
Now you will get the airline extension hose that you need with the straightener valves and everything to inflate these. And again, you're gonna get all the brackets and hardware you see before me and it's gonna come with everyone's favorite, that's right, the instructions. Make sure you read them. You do wanna make an easy install. Do it right the first time, don't cut any corners.
The instructions are very, very helpful, very simple to read and follow. Now with any airbag, you do want to keep them inflated at a minimum of 5 PSI to hold air in there and a maximum of 100 PSI with this particular kit. Now these are constructed of a two ply fabric reinforced fiber rubber. So they're gonna last very, very long and they're very, very durable. They, again, can inflate or deflate independently of each other to make the level that you need. Now the end caps on the bags themselves are made of a very high strength Zytel nylon, which is lighter and stronger than other things out there. It's more corrosion resistant than steel. So that's this part up here and down here. Now I hope that this has been helpful for you. This is Steven with etrailer.com and once again, that's a look at our Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs for your front axle. Have a great day.

5,000-lb Capacity. Designed to upgrade your front suspension, LoadLifter 5000 air springs provide high-quality, full-time load support. They level your vehicle, improving braking and ride comfort and reducing the strain on your factory suspension.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 .
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.
It works. I use it to counter the weight of a #650 snowplow on my 2001 F-350. There is an ongoing issue with LH part marks on RH parts and when they are pulled from stock for shipping you get two of the same fittings with different part numbers. Just make sure you remind them at the time of ordering to physically check the part. This has been an ongoing issue. Myself and others did get the correct part shipped. They were good at honoring that. Regardless it is a good kit.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
The product was exactly as advertised. The installation instructions and video were easy to follow.
Sorry for the late response,I did a full Rv trip with air bags installed the worked as expected excellent. No chunking of the bed very smooth ride . Took about 1.5 hours to complete installation worth the time.
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.
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.
Does not fit well on ford ranger. Not compatible with daystar cradles. Would get Firestone’s if had to do this again
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.
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!!
The air bags fit nicely and work as expected. The only reason for not giving 5 stars is the directions… written and the video. You definitely need to have some logic and mechanical skills but it all works. Trying this without a lift (rack) is not a good idea.
Madison, my customer service rep was exceptional and got the product to me early. I would definitely use this company again.
I am not happy with trailer. The box arrived and was all taped up and abused. When I opened the box there was an important part missed. I called and talked to Joanne and she asked me to send pics of the box and I did and have not heard from anyone about the missing part.i hope you will be able to help me get this part issue solved.
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.
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!
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.
