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.

Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a real quick look together at these Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs for your rear axle. Now these have been designed to fit your 2019 and newer Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 with two-wheel drive and a 144-inch wheelbase. On custom fit parts such as this kit, I do recommend taking advantage of our Vehicle Fit Guide here at etrailer.com. Simply input the year, make, and model of your vehicle, and our Fit Guide will confirm if this will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you. Now, if you're looking for this kit for the same vehicle with a longer wheelbase, we do have that option available for you as well.
Again, the Fit Guide will point you in the right direction. So with this kit, you are going to get a safer ride while at the same time, protecting your vehicle from the strain that comes with hauling heavier loads. As you know, carrying heavy cargo puts tremendous stress on your vehicle. Your brakes erode faster, your tires wear unevenly, and the handling is going to suffer severely. When towing, you might also experience excessive sway, and bottoming out, and even improper and unsafe headlight aim.
So, by pairing your existing suspension with these LoadLifter 5000s, you can seriously beef up your suspension, you can ensure an equal load distribution, and you can also give your vehicle the support that it's going to desperately need. These air helper springs are gonna give you up to 5,000 pounds of load leveling capacity. It's gonna help distribute the weight of your payload to all four of your wheels. So, as a result, the stress on your OEM suspension is going to be, obviously, significantly reduced. Now, taking a slightly closer look at this system, these airbags are made here in the USA of high-quality, two-ply, fabric-reinforced rubber.
Most airbags lose air at the ends, where the bag is enclosed with the steel cap because that steel can rust and corrode over time, creating small holes. But the end caps on our springs here, and you can't see them because I do kind of have them loosely assembled with the roll plates and the custom fit brackets, just to kind of give you an idea of what these are gonna look like when they're installed. But on these airbags, the end caps are fashioned from corrosion-proof Zytel nylon. That's a material that's both stronger and lighter than steel, so that's going to ensure that the bags won't lose air. Also, these springs do come with Air Lift's exclusive roll plates, which both protect your air springs and beef up the load capacity of the springs.
These springs are adjustable from five to 100 PSI, giving you that precise support, and they can be inflated independently of one another for front, rear, or side-to-side leveling. Now, everything that you see here laid out on my table is going to be included in this kit. It's going to include the custom mounting brackets and then I mentioned the roll plates, the manual inflation valves, air line, the hardware that you're going to need to get this into place, along with this set of instructions to guide you through that installation process. The manual inflation valves are typically mounted on the bumper for easy access. And you can get compressor systems with end cap gauges that can be added to monitor and automatically adjust the air pressure. Those items, we do sell separately on our website, but you can find them under the Related Products section or Related Products tab on this product page. Now, again, the load leveling capacity of this kit is 5,000 pounds, but it is important to remember that these air springs do not actually increase the weight carrying capacity of your vehicle. So you do wanna make sure that you don't exceed what the manufacturer says is your weight limit for your vehicle. Well, I think that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that our time together has been helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy, thank you for joining me.
