Video Transcript for Air Lift LoadLifter Air Helper Springs Upgrade Kit Review
Hi there heavy haulers. Today we're going to be taking a look at Air Lift's LoadLifter, Air Line Upgrade Kit. These heavy duty braided stainless steel airlines will replace your old nylon airline tubing. And the old airline tubing that we've got here is plenty fine. It does work, but it is sensitive to heat and tears and cuts and road debris. Whereas our stainless steel braided lines are going to be significantly more durable and resistant against heat.
You'll receive two in your kit of equal length to route to from the back of your vehicle up to your airbags. And the other end is going to connect to new fittings that you'll receive that'll thread into your airbags. We've got the 90 degree swivel fitting installed on ours, but you'll also receive a straight fitting included in your kit. So you can just thread it straight down if that's a better fit for your particular vehicle.Each end of our steel braided airline is going to have a female threaded fitting that will thread on to the fittings in your airbag, as well as the air fittings at the back of the vehicle for airing it up. This is going to be a stronger, more robust connection than your quick connect fittings that come with a standard Air Lift kit.
Each of our braided hoses is around five feet. So you'll receive plenty to run from your airbags to your fittings here at the back of the vehicle. You'll also receive some additional nylon airline tubing included with your kit, as well as an adapter fitting that will take our stainless braided line and screw onto one end and go to a quick connect on the other end so we can attach it to regular nylon tubing. This is nice if you have an air compressor system or any other accessories that you're running off of the air pressure that you have for your airbag system. Your old lines are going to go into either a straight or 90 degree fitting in your airbag.And this is just a quick connect fitting.
If you try to pull the hose out, you're not going to be able to take it out and it's installed by just pushing it in. So if you're going to be replacing this, you'll not only need to unthread your old fitting, but take your nylon tubing out of there as well. Because in most cases, you will have a difficult time leaving this in. To remove your airline tubing here, you'll just use a wrench or you can even do it by hand. It's pretty difficult to do it by hand though.
So I just use, I suggest using a wrench that's close to the size of your airline tubing. Press the wrench against the fitting until it crushes the end. And then you can just pull the tube out. See how this piece just moves in and out.And if you are going to be connecting into an air compressor or anything, and you're still going to use some of this line for those other accessories, it's as easy as pushing it together, to get it to lock into place. Before replacing your airlines, you should remove any air pressure that you do have on your airbags. This will ensure you don't get any surprises when disconnecting your lines. Some reasons you might consider this upgrade is if you do a lot of off-roading. These are a more robust, stronger, durable line.And since they're stainless steel, they're going to be able to resist against the elements. Another reason you might consider them is if you've got a show truck and you just want the nicest look for your vehicle, especially I know you guys up there with lifted vehicles. A lot of people are so high. You can just walk up and look underneath and we want it to look pretty for everybody. And the last reason you might consider it is if your vehicle is just in a difficult installation process for it, where the lines may be close to an exhaust pipe and there's just not a very good routing option.And you're worried that your old nylon lines might start to deteriorate or melt because of how close it is, these are going to be a little more robust. You still don't want them sitting up against an exhaust, but they are going to be more resistant against heat in comparison with a nylon line. And that completes our look at Air Lift's LoadLifter, Air Line Upgrade Kit.

I just completed a 1500 mile haul in my 2008 Dodge (yeah, it's a Ram) 1500 pickup with a near 1000 lb. ATV in the back. How did it go with the LoadLifter 5000 Airbags? Fantastic! Also, having good tires made a difference as well. I pumped up the airbags to 25 psi, the rear tires to 60 and off I went. Not once did I detect the pickup bottoming out on unexpected dips in the roads. Adding the airbags allowed my pickup to ride level and returned stability from what otherwise would have been a maximum load condition where the truck could have been a bit overburdened.
Criticism? I'll see about a very slow air leak in both bag sides. They were down to around 10 psi when I returned after the five day trip. And note, I went for the stainless steel wrapped hose upgrade. It's likely a connection. Yet I'm aware of the top "pivot" inlet/outlet where the bags receive air. I hope that's not the air leak source.
All in all though, I'm very happy with this system. I'll give the connections a soapy water "look" and see if I can make the LoadLifter system beyond ideal.
Last note, and this regards DIY self installers; Safety! You'll be raising your pickup to lower the axle and removing the rear tires for access. Your truck needs to be absolutely solidly stable before you go to work! Jack stands really don't extend far enough. I had the benefit of using a chain hoist attached to the rear hitch. If you can't safely secure and stabilize your pickup take a pass on the DIY aspect and hire a professional with a conventional lift. The extra cost is immaterial to a possible injury to yourself or worse.

Nice kit however the add says works for airlift and Firestone but the fitting that go on the airbags are to small. I had to go and buy a fitting for each side.!also the airlines could be 1 ft longer. If you mount both th fitting to the side of the plate then one side is a little tight and that’s on a 6 ft box to short for a long box

It is working ok,but why send any plastic tubing when everyone want all stainless steel. The 90 degree fittings are designed poorly. The tubing connection is right up against the frame. Very difficult to tighten.

He was really easy to install. I really enjoyed it, but I noticed I'm having a slow leakage somewhere. We've been playing with it trying to figure it out. I don't know if it's one of the boots or what but one side loses a lot of pressure but it travels good. I go about 150 mi and she rides really comfortable. I don't give any bad thing about this. It's just a small leak and I'll figure it out. Thank you and I really enjoyed it

The braided lines were easy to work with and very sturdy. Directions were easy to follow. Only issue was a slow leak that ended up being a loose valve core. One year in and functions great.

Bought this to upgrade with stainless steel lines and two of the four fittings leaked. Shouldn’t half to put Teflon on flared fittings

Most fittings come with a sealant on them, however, the manufacturer does recommend using thread tape [ie. Teflon or plumbers tape] to prevent any possible leaks. Especially if the fittings have been installed once before. However, if it is constantly leaking, even with the thread tape, there may be a manufacturing issue with the fitting itself. If that is the case, I highly recommend filing a warranty claim with Air Lift. I will send you their contact information via email.

I first bought a Firestone air bags system, still going good on my old truck, 15 years old. The Airlift kit leaked right away, couldn’t find the leak. While getting oil changed my GM mechanic found a swivel connection that leaked. Do away with that swivel which isn’t needed

I love the kit's inclusiveness of parts. My only problem is that you do not sell the straight through air valve filler connector tube separately as that is the only thing I needed. Consequently, I paid $89.00 for this valve that broke when I should have only paid $5.00 to $10.00 for the one item. Otherwise the kit is complete and I will have spare parts for the kit I installed originally.

Make sure to install the upgrade fittings before you install the bags or you have to pull things back out to remove the standard fittings to install the upgrade. Otherwise things went very smoothly.

- Fitting So that Air Lift Air Bag Kit Can be Inflated by a Single ValveHey Robert, what you'd need is an Air Lift Union tee part # AL21838 which would allow you to use a single inflation valve for both bags. I'm still a little surprised they don't just include this. What vehicle do you have?
view full answer... - Troubleshooting the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System Causing Uneven Air BagsI would check the airlines coming from your Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System item # AL25980. If you're certain it's not the air bags themselves then it's got to be one of the supply lines. You can upgrade them with the Air Lift Upgrade Kit for LoadLifter 5000 and LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs item # AL52300.
view full answer... - Upgrading Firestone Air Bag Kit w/ Braided Air Lines Since the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs item # F2430 uses the same fittings as the air lift kits you will be able to use the Air Lift Upgrade Kit for LoadLifter 5000 and LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs item # AL52300. With this kit you can add braided air lines to your set up. I also recommend the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System for Air Helper Springs item # AL74000EZ. Air Lift's premium, wireless, onboard compressor system with Bluetooth allows you to fill...
view full answer... - Is there Angled Fittings for the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs? Hey Michael! Glad to hear you got the air bags item # F4136 installed on your Prius. There are angled fittings and upgraded lines that you can purchase with the item # AL52300 kit. However, these are not going to work on your set up because the fitting sizes are different and you have that spacer block.
view full answer... - Could Air Lift Upgrade Air Line Kit be Used on Firestone Ride Rite KitYes, since Firestone and Air Lift use the same air line and connector styles you could use the Air Lift Upgrade Kit for LoadLifter 5000 and LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs # AL52300 on a Firestone kit like you have.
view full answer... - Recommended Air Bag and Air Compressor Kits for a 2023 GMC Sierra 2500Hey Danny I can't see your cart but I can tell you that both Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 kits we have item # AL88341 and item # AL57341 will work with your 2023 GMC Sierra 2500 so long as it's a 4WD and does not have factory air suspension. Please note that item # AL88341 isn't compatible with in bed hitches and requires drilling. If you've got a gooseneck or 5th wheel set up you'll want to go with item # AL57341. The Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System for Air Helper Springs item #...

The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs item # AL88288 are confirmed to fit your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. These air bags have a 5,000 lbs capacity that will level out the rear end of your Silverado when you are towing a trailer or hauling a heavy load in your bed. All mounting brackets and hardware are included for installation. I recommend adding the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System item # AL25980 to your truck....

The holes in the mount were drilled out larger to accept the air lines with the upgrade kit. We do have the similar No-Drill Inflation Valve Bracket # F98ZR from Firestone which you may also like and with the angle may be easier to access when filling.
view full answer... - Stainless Steel Braided Hoses for Air Lift Air Bag KitHey Chuck, thanks for reaching out! Yes, we have the Air Lift Upgrade Kit # AL52300 which will work just fine with your Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Ultimate Air Helper Springs # AL57596. Air Lift has the upgrade kit listed for the 5000 kits but both the 5000 and the 7500 use the same connectors and line sizes plus they have the same psi ratings so you'll be good to go!
view full answer... - Availability Of LoadLifter Ultimate Plus Kit For A 2023 Ford F250It appears there is not a ultimate plus kit available for the 2023 F250 at this time. Even air lift does not list one in their catalogue. It is possible that they will come out with one in the future, but there is really no reason to wait for them to make one. What you can do it get the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate # AL29DQ kit, and purchase the stainless air line upgrade kit # AL52300 separately. The upgrade kit includes your braided stainless air lines, and nickel plated brass fittings....
view full answer... - Can Braided Air Lines be Used With an Air Lift Wireless One Compressor?There will be no issues at all having stainless braided air lines already installed. The PTC-to-AN adapter fittings that will have come with the stainless lines, like the Air Lift Upgrade Kit for LoadLifter 5000 and LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate # AL52300, are actually specifically designed for this purpose. This fitting will then connect to the nylon air lines that go to the compressor and you will be good to go. I attached an image from the instructions that will break this down as well.

- Steel Braided Line Upgrade kit for an AirLift LoadLifter 7500XLYes, the Air Lift Upgrade Kit for LoadLifter 5000 and LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs # AL52300 although designed for the LoadLifter 5000 and the LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate air springs will also work with the # AL57595 XL springs. Both kits utilize the same fittings so these lines will work just fine, the only difference between the 5000 and the 7500XL is the size of the bags and the 20 percent increased air volume.

You are able to use the Air Lift Upgrade Kit # AL52300 to upgrade the air lines you attach to the Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs # AL98WQ.

Let's figure this leak out, shall we? AirLift bags have a limited lifetime warranty but they are going to want to know where the leak is coming from first. Have you tired the soapy water trick yet? The best way to find the leak is to mix up soap /water in a spray bottle and spray down all of the fittings, airlines, and airbags with the solution while the system is fully inflated. You will see tiny air bubbles where the system is leaking. Let me know what you find out and I can get a hold of AirLift for you.
