Expert Answers about Lift Supports


  • What Replacement Glass Hatch Rear Support Fits My 2011 Honda Pilot?
  • I have the right replacement part you need. I went ahead and did research on your 2011 Honda Pilot's lift supports. From my available research, there are three different types of replacement supports: the back glass support, the hatch lift support, and the front hood support. Unfortunately, the Hood Lift Support - Custom Fit # ATL34TR is the replacement in the hood area of some models of Honda Pilots. This is a completely different part than you need. For the glass portion of your rear...

  • What is the Difference Between Lift and Support Capacity on a Trailer Jack
  • The support capacity is how much a jack can hold whereas the lift capacity is how much a jack can lift. The Bulldog Square Jack w/ Footplate part # BD190754 has a 8,000 lb support and 5,000 lb lift capacity. If you will be using the jacks to lift and lower a trailer onto a hitch ball or kingpin then they will need to be chosen according to their lift capacity but if you are just using them to stabilizer or support a trailer then they can be chosen according to their support capacity. Generally...

  • Is There A Maximum Distance That Motorhome Wheels Can Hang With Air Lift Air Springs Installed
  • Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers # AL88240 require that the axles be supported at all times, otherwise the weight could rip the bellows from the brackets. If you used leveling jacks to lift the frame of the motorhome you would need to place a support under the wheels as well, like leveling blocks # UF48-979051. Air Lift has stated that they offer cradles that will attach the lower bracket to help support the springs, so you could also reach...

  • Can Vehicle With Air Helper Springs Be Serviced on a Lift
  • Air Lift and Firestone use different methods of attaching the air springs to the metal plates. Firestone uses a crimp roll design that's very strong, strong enough to handle the weight of the axle. If the vehicle will be lifted by the frame, you'll want to deflate Firestone air springs like # F2525 so they can extend to their maximum length without being damaged. It's not necessary to support the axle. Air Lift helper springs like the # AL88200 you'd looked at use a band clamp design that's...

  • Can I Lift Vehicle Without Supporting Firestone Air Springs?
  • When air bags are installed, you usually need to support the rear axle when the vehicle is hoisted. Now, Firestone is actually really proud of their air springs design since they use technology from their heavy truck Airide springs and these can withstand thousands of pounds of pulling force without damage. As for the hardware, that's made to support the air springs. As long as they were installed correctly, they will be able to hold while the vehicle is lifted. Also, when you vehicle...

  • Will Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs Fit 2008 Dodge Ram 3500 with Lift Kit
  • The Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs # AL57595 will fit about a 1" block lift on their own. If you have a lift higher than that for your 2008 Dodge Ram 3500 then you need to add some spacers to accommodate your lift. Spacers are offered in a 2" # AL52420 and 4" # AL52440 option depending on how much of a lift you have. These can support up to 7,500 lbs so if you are towing a 14,000 lb trailer you will have support for the first 7,500 lbs. Please note that suspension enhancement...

  • Can Gate King Adjustable Tailgate Support Bars GK74FR Lock The Tailgate In Flat Position?
  • The Adjustable Tailgate Support Bars # GK74FR does not lock the tailgate down in the flat position. When the latching pins are engaged and the tailgate is lifted, the support bars will lock into the first position and so on. This will keep the tailgate from dropping all the way down and it will stay in that locked position until lifted up. This will not stop the tailgate from lifting up as you can simply lift the tailgate to lock it into the next catch position. I attached a helpful demonstration...

  • Can Truck be Raised Without Supporting Axle With Air Lift Air Bags Installed
  • Hi Mark; the Air Lift # AL57589 cannot handle the force from the truck being raised without supporting the axle. None of the Air Lift air bags are constructed well enough to not rip. If you haven't already installed air bags and you're looking for some for a 2014-2024 Ram 2500 I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2598. The Firestone air bags are able to handle this due to their superior construction.

  • The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2245 for your 2003 Toyota Tundra are safe to use with a vehicle lift. You will not need to support the axle or disconnect the air springs to use on a lift. Firestone uses a wire girdle and roll crimps their air springs to the mounting plates which are capable of supporting the weight of the axle hanging when put on a vehicle lift.

  • Can Trailer Stabilizer Scissor Jacks be Used to Lift a Trailer
  • Scissor jacks for trailers such as # TJSCHD-24 are used for support but not lifting applications. For lifting I recommend using a bottle jack such as # ALL620471 and then using a stabilizer jack to support the trailer at the proper height. Bottle jacks are great since they don't take up a lot of space and still have plenty of capacity.

  • Can Air Lift Air Bags on 2020 Ram 2500 be Used When on Vehicle Hoise
  • Your 2020 Ram 2500 can have the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers # AL88289 installed and the vehicle can be on a hoist without the rear axle braced if it is a short term amount of work like a tire rotation, as you mentioned. Otherwise, what is meant by brace is the axle should be supported with jack stands. There are certainly jack stands tall enough that may garages have, and they need to be used if lengthy work is being done and you have...
