Heavy loads can make the rear sag, throw off your steering, and strain your suspension. The LoadLifter 5000 air springs add up to 5,000 lbs of load-leveling support, keeping your truck level when the bed or hitch is stacked high. A level stance means safer braking, steadier steering, and headlights that stay aimed where they should. The system distributes weight evenly across all four wheels so your suspension isn’t taking the entire hit when towing or hauling.
The LoadLifter 5000 gives you full control over firmness and height with adjustable air pressure from 5 to 100 psi. Inflate both bags together for heavy hauling or fine-tune each one independently to even out off-center loads. Manual inflation valves come standard and mount on the bumper for easy access. Whether you’re running light during the week or loaded up for a long trip, you can dial in the ideal pressure for comfort and stability every time.
When you’re counting on air bags to handle big loads, durability matters. Each spring is made from 2-ply, fabric-reinforced rubber with high-strength Zytel nylon endcaps that are lighter, stronger, and more corrosion resistant than steel. Air Lift’s exclusive upper and lower roll plates protect the bags from damage and boost load capacity. The rugged construction keeps leaks at bay and extends the life of your suspension no matter how many miles you pile on.
Everything needed for installation comes in the box—mounting brackets, hardware, air lines, and manual valves. Once installed, you can add a compressor system later if you want automatic pressure control. The LoadLifter 5000 is backed by a lifetime warranty and a 60-day satisfaction guarantee, so you can count on consistent performance whether it’s hauling gear every day or tackling weekend towing duty.

Ratings & Reviews
This is the second set of Loadlifter air bags I have purchased. They are fairly simple to install and the build quality is excellent. Of course etrailer.com is my go to supplier for all things rv and truck aftermarket.
Very happy with the load lifter! My truck/camper combination is now level and rides better. No more bottoming out on the big dips on the interstate highway. My son and I installed it ourselves and it was fairly easy.
Parts shipped quick, and everything fit perfect.
The helper springs were easy to install. After one year they still work flawlessly. Has been a great upgrade for towing. Quality product, all fittings are tight without leaking, and pretty much maintenance free. Very glad I chose this product.
Works great! Does exactly what I need!
Was simple to install.
Amazing product! Easy install! But don’t be like me, just drop the spare tire and make your life 1000x’s easier. Also, fit perfect on 2022 F250 6 3/4 ft bed. No leaks and plenty of hose to route the shearer valves where I wanted. If you’ve got the extra coin, I’d buy the air compressor and in-cab switch for this unit. I didn’t at the time and still don’t, but when I do I’ll buy it so I can add/remove air as needed in the cab to adjust the ride for various loads.
The Airbags work great. Installed airbags over a week ago. installation took a little over 3 hours. I installed the airbags on my Ford F 350. The only work around was on the drivers side. I had to angle u-bracket past left shock bolt. Besides the shock great product. I ride 10 psi on drivers side and 5 psi on passenger side while not under load. My 2022 F 350 rides a little lower on drivers when not under load. I think this is due to a 48 gallon diesel tank. I tow a 40 foot fifth wheel on a regular bases. When under load travel with 50 psi on drivers side and 40 psi on passenger side. The airbags put my vehicle back to preload level.
After owning this kit foe a year, I love it. The install went smooth and easy. The app and the remote link up in seconds and it has helped with towing our 5th wheel. It gets the rear-end up so that it is at normal height.
That way I am not blinding people with my lights at night. The truck does ride more smooth with the airbags pumped up while towing. The only negatives are that even with the minimum 5 PSI in the bags, the truck has a more rigid ride when nor towing. The bags also raise the rear end up quite a bit, even when deflated.
Pulling a fifth wheel RV trailer, and a gooseneck trailer on the farm, the airlift bags, along with the onboard compressor has made pulling either trailer safer due to the leveling ability this kit allows.
Customer service from etrailer was great with making sure I received the exact kit for my truck.
Five stars for sure!
The hitch and box arrived in exceiient conditon. I have yet to take the rig for a good test drive. I took it for a short drive but need more time with ot to fully appreciate its capabilities. The installation was a breeze. Fitment was perfect.

The air suspension system makes all the difference in the world. With the trailer on and no air in the bags there is a definite squat in the truck. I put about 70 psi in the bags and everything is level again with a great ride. Helps to stop all the bouncing after big bumps.

Still working like it should
Bag had a hole in it and I didn’t find it until I had already installed them because in was in a bolt hole. Now I’m waiting to get another bag from airlift because y’all can’t warranty there product. My next purchase was going to be the compressor kit to go with the bags but not now. The whole warranty thing is very frustrating. My opinion don’t sale anything you can’t warranty yourself.

While we do handle the warranties for the majority of the products that we carry there are a handful of manufactures like Airlift that prefer to handle warranty related issues themselves.
I installed these air lift bags in a day. It was a lot longer than I thought, but it was in the middle of winter in an unheated shop and only basic hand tools. No hoist, so there were a lot of up and down trips with a creeper. Very good installation manual which made the process easy. Very happy with the purchase.

Its worth the money and install time, easy access and makesure hauling loads very manageable.
I got airbags right on time. My son installed for me. Too hard for an old guy. They work perfect and love them thankyou !
Great product. Easy to install, only took a couple of hours.
I like the bags and installed. I was hoping to add this to my existing VI air compressor. I asked that of the chat person prior to and told him my requirements. He sold the airlift load controller II and said it would work. I would’ve much rather not had 2 compressors on my truck. Calling back they said that airlift didn’t support using a 3rd party compressor. So I am stuck with two now compressors now.
Installed thes a year ago. I use them to pull my 35 foot fifth wheel camper. They are fantastic I recently added the wireless remote air compressor kit. I really love that!
I have a 2020 F250 and when I hook up to my 14000 pound 5th wheel the pickup would sag a little. It pulled okay as-is but it really needed to be level for better stability, braking, and headlights. I purchased the Air Lift Loadlifter 5000 from etrailer and after they had installed it, what a difference it made. With just the install, it elevated the bed one additional inch with only 5 pounds of air in the bags. Once I hooked up, I put 25 pounds of air in the bags which was plenty to raise the bed to just beyond level. I am very satisfied with this addition and if you are experiencing sag, I highly recommend this product. For the minimal cost of the product, it was well worth the investment in safety, ride comfort , and stability.
Air Lift air springs are good and dependable, use them for the last 25 years on three pick-ups always worked great. My complaint would be against the lousy packaging which came with two or three holes and all messed up, luckily all that was missing was one washer.

Still working well.
Great customer support to make sure that I got the correct Part number that was for the 4 wheel drive. Installation was straightforward and the Load lifters work great.
I load my F350 just under its legal limit of payload with my 5th wheel. I had initially relied on overload bump stops to prevent sag, but the ride was far too uncontrolled for my liking. I have used Airlift bags in the past on a previous vehicle and loved them. I bit the bullet and installed them on my F350 SRW and could not be happier with the ride quality and control they provide. Instead of bouncing and bucking us out of the seat while destroying steering authority on the HWY, now I have control of my payload and a stock ride when I am unloaded. I should have gone with the bags to start and I cannot recommend them enough for all the 5th wheelers out there or anyone else who tows heavily on a regular basis. The kit supplied everything needed, although I added a simple piece of bar stock to mount the schrader valves. Very clear instructions that were easy to follow.

Sounds like the perfect upgrade for you, Randy! How often are you towing your 5th wheel?
Put these on my 2022 Ford F250 to assist with pulling my 5th wheel. Watched the etrailer YouTube video along with the instructions installation went smoothly.
