AirLift Air Bags To Replace Hellwig Air Bags That Are Obsolete
Question:
I currently have hellwig 5000 load lifter bags on my 2002 Chevy Tahoe and I’ve had them on there many years and they need to be replaced. So I’m wanting to know if these air lift ultimate air bags with the inner joist bumper will be a easy no problem replacement for the Hellwig’s and are they same diameter and height ? I really want to have the inner bump stop feature Incase of full air loss

Expert Reply:
The Replacement Air Spring for Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate System # AL84290 has a 6" design height so it wants to see 6" between the air bag pads where it will mount. You will likely need the Air Lift Upgrade Kit # AL52301 to get the correct roll plates and stainless steel air lines.
I reached out to Hellwig for information on their air bags as they are obsolete and there are no replacement parts or information still available for them. They were not able to provide me with any information to confirm the dimensions of the air bags they use.
Currently the only Air Lift Air Bag Kit # AL60769 that is confirmed to fit your 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe is designed to fit inside the rear coil springs. This is the only item from Air Lift that I can confirm will fit your Tahoe.
