Air Lift LoadLifter Rear Air Helper Springs Installation - 2011 Chevrolet Silverado- Video

Today in our 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD, we'll be having a look at and installing the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL air helper springs for the rear axle, part number AL57538. Here's what our airbags look like installed. These are simple bolt-in installation, with no modification required to our vehicle at all. These will help maintain our ride height, keeping our vehicle's suspension working as it was originally designed, making for a smoother ride, also helping with braking, stability, and turning. Just keep in mind, these aren't going to offer us additional towing capacity or additional weight-bearing capacity. They're just going to help maintain our ride height and ride quality when we have a heavy load or a heavy pin-weight trailer on our vehicle. This doubled convoluted design airbag system will support anywhere between 5 and 100 PSI of air pressure. more
