How to Fix a Leak on a Elbow Valve on an Air Lift Air Bag
Question:
The threads on the connector to the airbag on the driver side is leaking after soapy water application. #88338. What do you recommend as a fix? What tool is best for removal of the connector since an open wrench doesn’t move in the tight space?

To remove the valve on the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs item # AL88338 you will need to remove the air spring from your truck. You can't turn that valve inside the bracket. Once off I recommend using the Replacement 1/4" Elbow for Air Lift Ride Control Air Helper Springs - Qty 1 item # AL21837 in case you have a bad fitting that way you do not have to repeat this process again. I wish there was an easier way but those brackets are built so closely to protect that fitting. I have linked an installation video below to help you out.
The replacement bag for that system is the Replacement Air Spring for Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate System - Rear Axle - Qty 1 item # AL84297.
