5,000-lb Capacity. Designed to upgrade your rear suspension, LoadLifter 5000 air springs provide high-quality, full-time load support. They level your Chevrolet Silverado, improving braking and ride comfort and reducing the strain on your factory suspension.
Features:
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 from the strain that comes with hauling massive loads.
Carrying heavy cargo in your truck bed or trailer puts tremendous stress on your . 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 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.
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 at normal ride height. You can find the normal ride height of your 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 and return them for a full product refund. Now that's confidence.

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.Couldn’t be happier! The product shipped on time for a great price. I chose this product because of etrailer’s YouTube video showing a detailed instal on my exact truck. From opening the box to being complete was only 2 hours. Works as advertised and does the trick!
Finished the install last weekend fairly smoothly. I jacked up one side of
the truck at a time since I only had one jack. Had to put the jack on
cinder blocks to get it high enough to engage the leaf spring front mount.
One comment/suggestion for the installation guide. The only thing I
struggled with was the parking brake cable. It was exactly in the way of
engaging the bottom bracket to the axle. No matter how I moved the bracket
it would not clear the cable. Then the light came on, release the brake
dummy! Once the brake was released there was plenty of room to engage the
assembly onto the axle. Of course, I did put some chalks on the front tires
to keep the truck from rolling while I was underneath...
No leaks, and it seems to ride much smoother than before.
Thanks for a great product,

I still like the product but it seems to have a slow leak somewhere and will not hold air pressure for a week at the original setting. Guess I need to do a bubble leak test, just have not gotten to it. Other than that the product is great.
Looks like good product—install went well. Instructions could have been better for my application (2500 hd). One hex nut missing in parts bag. Filed warranty claim with Air Lift and discussed potential revisions to install guide.

Maybe an installation video for your vehicle would be a bit easier to follow:
easy install,one of the elbow fittings leaked,i called airlift ,they rushed me 2 immediately.we were able to install new elbow with out removing air bags.no more saggy bed when pulling fifth wheel to florida keysi run them at 35-40 psi to level truck when towing.
Great product. Was easy to install. It has
Worked great. The camper came with fast gun tie down system. I would recommend using these also
The kit was nice and complete. Installation took about three hours. The instructions could have used more pictures. The upper bracket needed more pictures. The kit was neat and install was easy with very little tools. I would recommend this to my friends.
Loved it! Easy install and other than having to fill it manually, because compressor went out, soon after installation, it was a great choice!

Its been working flawlessly.
Fit perfect, delivery on time
Good product and install was easy because of the installment video found on the website.
Great fit, took about 2 hours to install
I have bought this product before and was extremely happy with it, that's why I bought it again for a truck that I just purchased. Thank you.
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
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 .

Still works great! I am happy with it. I tow a heavy trailer a few times a year and this works very well. I keep a small bicycle tire pump in the truck and it all works great.
