5,000-lb Capacity. Designed to upgrade your rear suspension, LoadLifter 5000 air springs provide high-quality, full-time load support. They level your vehicle, improving braking and ride comfort and reducing the strain on your factory suspension.

Specs:
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.

I installed these on a 2004 Ram 2500. I have towed an 11k fifth wheel approximately 10,000 miles with them and couldn’t be happier. The hardest part was figuring out where to put the airlines. I decided to run them through the existing frame holes and drill out the top license plate screws to give them a stealthy look with easy access to fill. Install didn’t take more than 2 hours with air tools.
They work well after fixing leak in line. 4 stars because I don't like the way they sit on the axle housing. I believe it would be much better if you rounded the points where they sit.i will be taking them off to do this myself for piece of mind.
Overall experience with etrailer was very good. Air Lift was installed on a 2004 Dodge 2500 which is used to pull a 36 ft 5th wheel, stock trailer and lots of ton loads of cattle products. The Air Lift system has leveled out the ride, stabilized the ride and overall performance is excellent. The only issue I have is a minor air leak which requires regular checking and adding air. Have not been able to locate this leak and for the time being will just keep checking and adding air as needed. Yes, I would recommend Air Lift!!
Jenny N - 02/11/2022These are very easy to install and work very well for lifting my heavy 5th Wheel on to my RAM 2500. I highly recommend these for anyone who question lifting capabilities of their current truck.
Both products were great! Easy installa tion.
Etrailer was good getting the package shipped the shipper was very slow
Received via UPS very fast. Box was a little ragged and the UPS driver waited as I opened it to make sure it was ok. One of the plastic bags holding nuts and bolts had come open allowing them to rattle around inside the box but only was missing a single flat washer. Easy install, I took a lot of breaks and I’m a little slow getting up and down so it took 4 hours. Held pressure overnight. I’m going to haul our 40 ft 5th wheel in a couple of days looking forward to using the air bags
Don - 07/19/2020First of all I want to thank Korren C. for the help with the order. Great customer service. Easy install. Truck feels much more stable on the road. Had a 3 1/2 in. of sag before I installed the air bags. Just about an inch at 70psi. now.
Improved stability and eliminated squat on both my trucks. Definitely recommend
Great service.
great product
Great product and relatively easy to install on your garage floor. Installation videos by etrailer are great if you get stuck. Good product and I'd recommend you get the companion remote air compressor system if you have a camper or carry heavy loads frequently.
I've only had the kit for a few days at this point, but it went together easily and the instructions are some of the better I've used for truck accessories. Full size, full color graphics really help. Following instructions exactly. it went together without any leaks and is performing great.
I have it on a 2018 Ram 3500 and with the bags at 5 PSI I can't really notice any difference in ride quality. I have yet to use it for its intended purpose (truck camper) since I don't have it yet but I'm sure it will improve stability. I can tell a difference is how much the truck leans going around a corner if I just even bump it up to 10psi empty. Only tough part of the install is tightening the bags to the bottom bracket after you have them on and aligned. You'll want to have a 14mm ratcheting wrench to make it not so frustrating.
Product is of better quality than I saw pictured. With over forty years in the auto and truck repair industry I can honestly say, " This is the Cadillac of the load lifters." Thank you
Great for leveling up a truck with a camper on it. Side to side - front to rear.
Easy Install.
Shipping was great FREE!
Just don't fall for the REBATE unless you want a compressor to as it takes both AirLift and Compressor to qualify.
AGAIN READ THE REBATE ad
Easy to install, great product. Fast sh ipping.
I have been using this for the past year and have been very pleased. It works as described and I have been very happy with it.
I hauled campers for a living, and adjust the air lift often. I would recommend them for anyone
Easy to install in 2-3 hrs.
Works well on initial static tests. Have not tried targeted application yet but I am certain there will be no problem.
etrailer is the BEST source for ALL my towing and related needs.
Thanks etrailer!!
The Airlift bags are awesome, also always great service from etrailer!
Shipping was fast have not installed them yet
This is my 3rd vehicle I have used this product on . We have a fleet of 1 ton duallies. This is an easy to install, reliable, and reasonably priced air bag kit
Easy to install so far one side works as prescribed. The other side had leak where the threaded inserts on top of bag. Air lift has been more than helpful in getting the part but to replace you have to remove the system
Simple to install and they seem to be quality material
Really impressed. They price matched and had it to me in 3 days and that was even considering the Holiday weekend.
Customer service is important, and trailer has it going on.thanks!
