5,000-lb Capacity. Designed to upgrade your rear 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.

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.

They level your vehicle, improving braking and ride comfort and reducing the strain on your factory suspension.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.
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 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.

The air suspension system makes all the difference in the world. With the trailer on and no air in the bags there is a definite squat in the truck. I put about 70 psi in the bags and everything is level again with a great ride. Helps to stop all the bouncing after big bumps.

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!
Very happy with the load lifter! My truck/camper combination is now level and rides better. No more bottoming out on the big dips on the interstate highway. My son and I installed it ourselves and it was fairly easy.
Pulling a fifth wheel RV trailer, and a gooseneck trailer on the farm, the airlift bags, along with the onboard compressor has made pulling either trailer safer due to the leveling ability this kit allows.
Customer service from etrailer was great with making sure I received the exact kit for my truck.
Five stars for sure!
The Air Lift Works Great! No Problem~
My Truck rides Perfect with Them~
I have a 2020 F250 and when I hook up to my 14000 pound 5th wheel the pickup would sag a little. It pulled okay as-is but it really needed to be level for better stability, braking, and headlights. I purchased the Air Lift Loadlifter 5000 from etrailer and after they had installed it, what a difference it made. With just the install, it elevated the bed one additional inch with only 5 pounds of air in the bags. Once I hooked up, I put 25 pounds of air in the bags which was plenty to raise the bed to just beyond level. I am very satisfied with this addition and if you are experiencing sag, I highly recommend this product. For the minimal cost of the product, it was well worth the investment in safety, ride comfort , and stability.
This is the second set of Loadlifter air bags I have purchased. They are fairly simple to install and the build quality is excellent. Of course etrailer.com is my go to supplier for all things rv and truck aftermarket.
What a great addition to our 22 Ford F250 SD. Made a huge difference pulling our 5th Wheel Trailer. We don't have an issue as far as weight. Just by putting 20 psi in the Airbags we were able to raise the truck about an inch during towing. Really smoothed it out. Easy to install and maintain.
The helper springs were easy to install. After one year they still work flawlessly. Has been a great upgrade for towing. Quality product, all fittings are tight without leaking, and pretty much maintenance free. Very glad I chose this product.
got the air lift and was a easy install, all i wanted to do was lift the rear of my f350 a couple inches to make pickup set level, i have a pretty heavy 5th wheel and worked great for that happy with it
Good product, quick service. Took a couple hrs to install and very happy with the results
Shipping of product time wise was awesome, The box with airbags was damaged and airbag was scuffed up, The box with fuel compressor leveler system was great. Photos and email sent to etrailer. Profit not installed yet. Will update with photos after installation is completed .

Customer Service will review the photos and reach out to you.
prompt shipping-- good quality product--- installation instructions very detailed--no special tools needed, a floor jack is extremely helpful
The shipment arrived intact, however, there were some cracking scores on the box. The basis weight of the corrugated container could be increased for better durability in transit. A liner sleeve would be the most cost effective alternative.
Bag had a hole in it and I didn’t find it until I had already installed them because in was in a bolt hole. Now I’m waiting to get another bag from airlift because y’all can’t warranty there product. My next purchase was going to be the compressor kit to go with the bags but not now. The whole warranty thing is very frustrating. My opinion don’t sale anything you can’t warranty yourself.

While we do handle the warranties for the majority of the products that we carry there are a handful of manufactures like Airlift that prefer to handle warranty related issues themselves.
Supplies a smooth comfortable ride with and without towing.
So far so good, works as intended.
Works great. Piece of cake to install by yourself. Read the instructions a couple times and watch the [online] video a couple times. Only problem is the screw going into the unit worked its way loose and had to be retightened.
installed today, all good!! Box had hole in it but nothing missing, not sure if shipped that way or UPS damaged it. Good product!!! etrailer did a great job, thanks
Amazing product! Easy install! But don’t be like me, just drop the spare tire and make your life 1000x’s easier. Also, fit perfect on 2022 F250 6 3/4 ft bed. No leaks and plenty of hose to route the shearer valves where I wanted. If you’ve got the extra coin, I’d buy the air compressor and in-cab switch for this unit. I didn’t at the time and still don’t, but when I do I’ll buy it so I can add/remove air as needed in the cab to adjust the ride for various loads.
Ordered the kid on Friday for my shop, and it showed up the following Monday. Not gonna whine about that.
The Airbags work great. Installed airbags over a week ago. installation took a little over 3 hours. I installed the airbags on my Ford F 350. The only work around was on the drivers side. I had to angle u-bracket past left shock bolt. Besides the shock great product. I ride 10 psi on drivers side and 5 psi on passenger side while not under load. My 2022 F 350 rides a little lower on drivers when not under load. I think this is due to a 48 gallon diesel tank. I tow a 40 foot fifth wheel on a regular bases. When under load travel with 50 psi on drivers side and 40 psi on passenger side. The airbags put my vehicle back to preload level.
Kit had everything needed and is working great one year later.
