Does the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 AL57131 Attach to the Axle or Spring Pack
Question:
I have a Thor Entegra Odyssey on the 2019 Ford E450 chassis. It came with Hellwig helper springs on top of the rear leaf springs. The instructions for the AL57131 show a spring pack attach on the cover page, but an axle attach diagram on page 3. Can I install AL57131 to the axle? If yes, can the helper springs stay?

Expert Reply:
The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57131 will install on the axle. The picture you see in the instructions is just a general picture and states "Cover illustration may not depict actual kit." The diagram you see on page 3 of the instructions is what the installation will actually be like with the bracket attached to your axle. Since your Hellwig helper springs attach to the top of your leaf springs you will have no problem using these two together.
You may also want to consider adding an air compressor like the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Remote - Bluetooth - EZ Mount # AL25980EZ. This will allow you to monitor and control the pressure in your air bags anywhere and anytime from the cab of your vehicle. This is a single path system so both air bags will stay the same pressure.
I have attached some installation and review videos for your reference.
