Note: When servicing your truck with Air Lift air springs installed, if the truck is lifted by the frame, the air must be let out of the springs. And if the rear of the truck is lifted during service, then it must be supported by jack stands to avoid damage to the air springs.
This LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Plus air spring kit has rustproof stainless steel components that offer long-lasting durability. These components are the roll plates, braided air lines, and air spring attachment hardware.
The roll plates protect the air springs from damage and beef up their load capacity. These sturdy plates help guard the springs from moving parts under your vehicle that might puncture the air bags. The plates also provide a larger surface area for each spring to roll on. The extra surface area gives you a higher spring rate at a lower air pressure, resulting in a better ride.
The stainless steel air lines are tougher than nylon airlines and last a lot longer. They offer extra protection against damage caused by sharp edges and flying road debris.
And the air spring attachment hardware provides excellent corrosion resistance.
The air springs and jounce springs in this system work together to give you the best ride whether your truck is loaded or unloaded. Air Lift's LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Plus air springs have internal urethane foam jounces that protect the air springs and provide added ride comfort when your air pressure is low. The jounces also allow you to temporarily carry a load if the air springs lose air pressure. This gives your 1/2-ton, 3/4-ton, or 1-ton pickup truck air springs that are easier to maintain.
Carrying heavy cargo in your truck bed or trailer puts extra stress on your truck. Your brakes erode faster, your tires wear unevenly, and handling suffers severely. When towing, you might also experience excessive sway, bottoming out, and even inaccurate and unsafe headlight aim.
By pairing your existing suspension with LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Plus air springs, you can seriously beef up your suspension, ensure equal load distribution, and get the support you need. The springs provide up to 5,000 lbs of load-leveling capacity (depending on the weight-carrying capacity of your vehicle) and distribute the weight of your payload to all 4 wheels. As a result, the stress on your factory suspension is significantly reduced. LoadLifter's air bags are adjustable from 5 to 100 psi for precise support, and they can be inflated equally for front-to-back leveling or independently of one another for side-to-side leveling.
The air springs are made of high-quality, 2-ply, fabric-reinforced rubber. Most air bags lose air at the ends where the bag is enclosed with steel caps. These caps can rust and corrode over time, creating small holes. But 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.
The closed-cell urethane jounce spring inside each air spring gives you a more stable, comfortable ride. Each jounce acts as an overload spring and engages when your current air pressure level isn't enough to support your load. So on a rough road, the springs will kick in if needed to absorb bumps and shocks and help you to avoid bottoming out. When the jounces support a load, they adjust progressively - the more weight you pile on, the stiffer they become. The urethane material engages more smoothly than rubber jounces so you get a less jerky ride.
Because these jounces are taller than your factory jounce bumpers, they engage sooner than your factory jounces would to provide better support. And if the LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Plus air springs have insufficient or zero air pressure, the internal jounces will help to temporarily support your suspension and protect it from damage until you can repair or adjust the air spring system.
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 in air through the inflation valves. A line kit is included with the springs so that you can install the manual inflation valves (one for each spring). Any air line excess must be coiled up and secured out of the way, so it won't get damaged. The air line cannot be cut or trimmed. And the valves are typically mounted on the bumper but can be installed anywhere that is easily accessible. If you want to make the springs even easier to use, you can get a compressor and gauge system (sold separately) that allows you to monitor and adjust the springs from the cab of your truck.
Along with a lifetime warranty that has no mileage restrictions, Air Lift offers a 60-day satisfaction guarantee. Just install and use LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate springs for 60 days, and if you are not satisfied at the end of this time, you can remove and return them for a full refund.

A little difficult to install but everything fit and works great. Allows me to set rear height with my trailer hooked up. Improves stance and ride.
If you tow frequently this is a great product. For infrequent towers you will find the ride way too stiff even at the lowest setting of five pounds. If there is a product that will allow the factory ride with assist when you need it that would be ideal. I removed the airlift boots after seven months because every little bump was a hard jolt to my passengers. I still have the air pump installed though just in case I become a frequent tower. Hope this helps.
This system is so good that it effectively allows you to easily tow at or below your maximum tongue weight towing capacity while leveling, improving suspension and ride quality. I had a professional installation which goes against a majority of my diy intuition but I'm very happy I did. They were able to obtain all threaded connections and place manual inflation access on a custom bracket at the rear bumper. They knew all of the line placement issues, how far to safely keep air lines away from heat sources such as the exhaust. I added the AirLift auto sensing wireless controlled compressor unit which has increased livability 100%. You could line check manually each use and multiple times when towing more than 100 miles but for the number of times I had differing L to R pressures buy a few PSI when hauling, which would undoubtedly be worse off if left unchecked for longer amounts of time, it's much more sensible to have a unit that can individually inflate each side of the airbag system independently. This greatly improved safety and efficiency. This may not increase a vehicles tow capacity but it allows the vehicle to tow within designed capacity limits at 100% effectiveness regardless of weight. I am thoroughly impressed and highly recommend this system as the best on the market at the time I purchased it. If anyone knows automotive well, any and every piece of an installation that can be made from anti-corrosion metals ama materials is a no-brainer that will quickly pay for itself. All anti-corrosive parts are particularly useful on the salt and grime exposed underside of a vehicle. The compressor in reference was the EZ75000 model variants.
Product works awesome and Great Customer Service
Great service and product works awesome
Well made product and seems to be very high quality. Easy installation.
I have used these air bag suspensions in other vehicles so I know that they will work fine on my new truck. However, the customer service, website, and everything associated with etrailer is second to none and that's the reason why I am a several time repeat buyer and will continue to be one.
I’ve used this product many times on my vehicles and other. Airlift make a good, consistent and long lasting product. Ordering it from etrailer.com makes it better with their pricing and customers service.
The air bags are great, and I want to give props to etrailer for being very awesome in helping me with an issue that I had. The customer service is impressive.
Super easy installation but if you get the stainless steel lines, it won’t connect to the Air Lift compressor. Also, tighten the lines at the bag before tightening the upper brackets. There will be no room afterwards. The instructions do not tell you this. Otherwise, the bags are great. Don’t let a couple minor instruction issues deter you. ETrailer is the place to buy all your truck needs.
Great service, air bags are great quality and installation was not bad. Instruction photo’s could be a little clearer.
worked great
