Suspension Enhancement For A 2013 Ford F-250
Question:
Hi, I am deciding between the Airlift Loadlifter 5000 and the Airlift 7500XL for my 2013 F250 Super Duty. I pull at 36 gooseneck mostly with two jeeps, roughly 10-12000lbs. Which loadlifter would you recommend? thank you

Expert Reply:
The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle Item # AL57396 would be enough for your 2013 F-250 pulling a 12000lb trailer. These bags have 100 psi max pressure rating and honestly with all of the installs I have done here with air bags. I very rarely have needed to put in more than 45 psi with the weigh of the trailer on the truck.
I will say though, with installing these, I have had customers come back to get an air compressor installed shortly after they had their bags installed. It makes it much easier to add and release air pressure when needed. If you are back and forth on an air compressor, I recommend it.
I would go with the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Remote - Bluetooth - EZ Mount Item # AL74000EZ. This system has a wireless controller that you can set a max pressure and minimum pressure and just push a button to inflate and deflate to that setting. No need to locate and use a hose and pressure gauge each time. You can also connect the system to your cell phone and use your phone as the controller.
I have included links to videos for installing both.
