Air Lift's LoadLifter 5000 was designed with an exact purpose: to provide full-time, first-class support to your 3/4- or 1-ton pickup, motor home, or commercial truck. With this kit, you get a safer ride and simultaneously protect your vehicle from the strain that comes with hauling massive loads.


Carrying heavy cargo in your truck bed or trailer puts tremendous stress on your vehicle. Your brakes erode faster, your tires wear unevenly, and handling suffers severely. When towing, you might also experience excessive sway, bottoming out, and even improper and unsafe headlight aim. Fortunately, there is a solution to these problems. By pairing your existing suspension with the LoadLifter 5000, you can seriously beef up your suspension, ensure equal load distribution, and give your vehicle the support it desperately needs. Air Lift's LoadLifter 5000 provides up to 5,000 pounds of load-leveling capacity and distributes the weight of your payload to all four wheels. As a result, the stress on your OEM suspension is significantly reduced.


LoadLifter's air bags are adjustable from 5 to 100 psi for precise support, and they can be inflated independently of one another for front-to-rear and side-to-side leveling. They are made of high-quality, two-ply, fabric-reinforced rubber. Most air bags lose air at the ends, where the bag is enclosed with a steel cap, because the steel can rust and corrode over time, creating small holes. The endcaps on Air Lift air bags are fashioned from corrosion-proof Zytel nylon, a material that is both stronger and lighter than steel, ensuring that the air bags won't lose air. Also, LoadLifter 5000 comes with Air Lift's exclusive roll plates, which both protect your air springs and beef up the load capacity of the springs.


This system installs with the included brackets and hardware. Just mount the springs, inflate them, and ride. To inflate the LoadLifter springs, you just have to pump air in through the inflation valves. A line kit is included with the springs so that you can install the valves (one for each spring) in an easily accessible area - typically they are installed on the bumper. If you want to make the springs even easier to use, you can get a compressor and gauge system (sold separately).


Air Lift kits are designed to keep your vehicle at normal ride height. You can find the normal ride height of your vehicle by unloading it and measuring the distance between the bottom edge of your wheel well and the center of the hub. After you find and record this distance, you can regulate the amount of air that you put into your air springs to maintain normal ride height - even when you are hauling a heavy load. You will need to adjust the air pressure in your air bags according to the size of your load.


Along with a lifetime warranty that has no mileage restrictions, Air Lift offers a 60-day satisfaction guarantee. Just install and use LoadLifter 5000 springs for 60 days, and if you are not satisfied at the end of this time, you can remove them from your vehicle and return them for a full product refund. Now that's confidence.

  • Can Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 kit Fit 2005 Toyota Tacoma with 2 inch Lift
    Since you have a 2 inch lift in the rear of your 2005 Toyota Tacoma you would also need the spacer kit part # AL52420 with the Air Lift Load Lifter 5000 kit part # AL49DQ that fits your truck.

  • Best Compressor For Air Lift Air Bags on 2023 Toyota Tacoma
    We can get your 2023 Toyota Tacoma set up with a compressor to go with the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL49DQ. The best compressor is indeed wireless like you wanted (that was a smart choice as it makes it so much easier to use), and is also from Air Lift: - Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System for Air Helper Springs # AL74000EZ The # AL74000EZ actually has two forms of wireless options - it comes with a remote but is also Bluetooth if you want to use an app on your...

  • Availability of Air Lift Air Bag Kit that Fits 2012 Toyota Tacoma
    Air Lift has air bag suspension enhancement kits that fit your 2012 Toyota Tacoma 4WD like the part # AL49DQ but they do not offer a version that has the internal jounce spring. Some report that the jounce spring versions make the ride quality harsher so it would not be my favorite option to recommend.

  • Recommended Air Bag Kit for a 2013 Toyota Tacoma w/ a 3 Inch Lift
    Yes, it will but you may need a spacer. The reason I say may is most 3" lifts are not 3" in the rear. If your 2013 Toyota Tacoma has less than a 2" lift in the back then all you will need is the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs item # AL49DQ. If it is 2" or more, in the rear end, you will want the Air Lift Universal Air Spring Spacers item # AL52420. I recommend adding the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System item # AL25980 to your truck. This single path onboard compressor...

  • Do I Need Suspension Enhancement For My 2020 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road?
    Thanks for reaching out, Kyle. According to the online owner's manual, the 2020 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road has a max towing capacity of 6,500 lbs. So based on this, yes, I think you can definitely tow a 2017 Passport Ultra Lite with a 4,400 lb dry weight. I do suggest that you consider a suspension upgrade though. Once the trailer is loaded you will likely be pushing it closer to its limit for towing. A suspension upgrade will help to keep the ride level and stable. An air bag kit like...

  • 2023 Toyota Tacoma 4WD Air Bag and Compressor Kit Recommendations
    I highly recommend going with the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL49DQ over their Ride Control system for your 2023 Toyota Tacoma 4WD because they not only offer more support, but they also have a better construction so they'll last longer. For a compressor kit it's really hard to beat the Air Lift WirelessONE # AL25980 since it comes with a remote so you can monitor and adjust your air bag level without having to install a gauge somewhere on your dash. We've installed...

  • Will Air Lift Air Bags For 2021 Toyota Tacoma Withstand Off-Roading
    Hey Alex, those are both really good questions. Let's start with the off-roading at full drop for the Air Lift bags on your 2021 Toyota Tacoma, which are the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL49DQ. When you are off-roading the # AL49DQ will not tear, no. In fact, you can even put your Tacoma on a lift or hoist, for example, and the air bags won't be damaged as they are designed to withstand that type of movement. As for the weight distribution hitch, what you want to do...

  • Union Tee Size for Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs
    Hey Stephen, What you're looking for is the Air Lift Union Tee for 1/4" Air Lines # AL21838. This will give you the ability to tie in the air lines from both air bags on the LoadLifter 5000 # AL49DQ into one fill port so they are both even. I'm not sure what airline the LoadLifter prefers, but according to Forbes, Alaskan Airlines is the best ranked in the US for 2024. Hope this helps!

  • Recommended Air Bags for a 2023 Toyota Tacoma w/ a 2" Lift
    Yes, it will but you'll need to add a 2" spacer item # AL52420. The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs item # AL49DQ are confirmed to fit your 2023 Toyota Tacoma and have a 5,000 lbs capacity. The included brackets are custom fit and will bolt into your truck without drilling. I recommend adding the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System item # AL25980 to your truck. This single path onboard compressor will allow you to adjust the PSI in your air bags from your phone.

  • Replacement Air Bag and Brackets for a Firestone Ride Rite Air Spring Kit for a 2023 Toyota Tacoma
    Hi Rizwan, I'm not seeing anything for Air Lift but I am seeing the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2407. If this is what you meant, then you'd just need the air bag(s) # F6766, and the brackets # F5086, # F2135825491, # F2135825493, # F2135825492, and # F5494. If you already have the brackets though, then you can disregard that part. As far as the control module goes, are you able to let me know what compressor system you're running? The bags by themselves don't have a control...

  • Recommended Air Bags for a 2008 Toyota Tacoma W/ 6" Lift
    For your 2008 Toyota Tacoma, I recommend adding in a set of air bags to help with the sagging. The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL49DQ with the Air Lift Universal Air Spring Spacers for LoadLifter 5000 and 7500XL # AL52460 is what I'd go with. These springs have a nice 5,000 lb capacity which should get rid of all that sagging without sacrificing ride quality. You're also going to need the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System for Air Helper Springs # AL74000EZ as well...
