Features to know about

Stay Level and Confident Under Heavy Loads: Up to 5,000 lbs of Load-Leveling Support

When the back end starts to squat under a heavy trailer or bed load, these LoadLifter 5000 air springs step in with up to 5,000 lbs of load-leveling support. They share the weight across all four wheels so your steering and braking stay predictable, and your headlights stay aimed right where they should. By keeping your ride height even, they also help prevent uneven tire wear and take a big chunk of stress off the factory suspension.

Dial In Your Ride: Adjustable Air Pressure from 5 psi to 100 psi

Every haul is different, so the ability to fine-tune matters. LoadLifter 5000 springs let you manually adjust air pressure from 5 psi to 100 psi to match the weight you’re carrying. Inflate both evenly for front-to-rear leveling or separately for side-to-side balance when a load is off-center. Manual inflation valves mount on the bumper for easy access, and an onboard compressor with in-cab gauges can be added later if you want automatic control.

Smooth Out Rough Roads: Dual-Convoluted Springs with Roll Plates

Heavy loads or rough pavement can make a truck bounce and sway more than it should. These air springs absorb shock and reduce sway so your ride feels steady and planted even on uneven roads. Air Lift’s exclusive upper and lower roll plates are built into the design to protect the rubber bellows from abrasion while increasing load capacity. The result is steadier handling when towing or hauling, with fewer jolts making their way through the frame.

Built Tough for Long-Term Use: Fabric-Reinforced Rubber and Zytel Endcaps

Durability matters when you’re counting on air support day after day. Each bag is made from 2-ply, fabric-reinforced rubber capped with high-strength Zytel nylon that’s lighter, stronger, and more corrosion resistant than steel. The brackets and hardware come ready for install, giving you everything needed to mount the system securely. With rugged construction throughout, this setup is designed to handle serious weight without leaks or corrosion cutting its life short.

2006 ford F-250 Super Duty
I installed the airbogs a day before the big snow and they make a big difference with the ride of my 2006 F250 Super Duty. I look forward to towing my rv trailer and boat! The instructions could be a little more clear. I had to drill through my frame to install them.
by:
This whole system was a Rube Goldberg special, engineered and installed by myself (a retired old DIY geezer). Use it for load assist when I put our Cab-over camper(3000#) on or haul any other heavy load. The Air Bags do the job and the installation instructions were pretty good (better than most). My only complaint is that the system doesn't hold the pressure over night. That is probably a feature of the plumbing and fittings; could be the ones on the top of the bags or another back up the line to the tank & compressor.
Overall I'm pleased with your product and service and that's why when I'm in need I deal with Etrailer.

2008 Ford F-350 Super Duty
Great product, these airbags have helped to support the rear suspension that seemed like it was starting to get soft and bottom out when I hooked up to our camper. These air bags were installed on a 2008 F350 4x4 w/few, with the combined weight of the trailer and all of the items for camping that we be carry in the truck box and an additional 80 gallions of diesel fuel we are carrying a lot of weight. With the air bags installed it's like a new truck again. Great product.
by:
The air lift was fairly easy to install, except for drilling 4 -1/2in. holes in the frame. Seems to do the job of leveling my truck with the camper in it, also the ride is a lot better too
by:
I had this installed by my mechanic, he said no problems, basically just bolted in.

I went to pick up my 30' travel trailer and I adjusted the pressure to 20psi before I hooked it up.

Before the air springs there was a noticeable sag in the back of the truck with the trailer hitched.

With just 20psi in the bags there was barely any sag at all, and the trailer pulled much better.

Planning on a trip this weekend and I'll probably increase the pressure up to 30psi to see how that works.

Very happy with this product, I wish I would have bought it years ago.
by:
Straight forward install. Allow 6+/- hours to get it right. DO read the instructions. Measure the clear height first and get the optional lift blocks if even close to 7"

Product works very well. My F250 had the camper package with added helper spring. That increased the spacing and thus the need for the lift blocks. Before the blocks, I was breaking the air fitting off of the top of the bags. Air-Ride was awesome. Replaced the bags and sent additional fittings. I put a T in so they would inflate at the same pressure consistently.

Im very impressed with these airbags. So far they are doing the job.
These come with all hardware and instructions. I put 20 psi with no load to see how long the air would hold up. 2 weeks later im now at 15 psi which I'm satisfied.
The previous bags of another brand didnt hold air well even with no leaks.
I can tell the difference in ride quality. I've loaded the bed with landscaping materials and towed my boat with 15 psi and still holding strong. Looking forward to towing my Travel Trailer.
Customer service has also been great!

@BrookeM Hi Brooke. I finally had the opportunity to tow my travel trailer. Very impressed with the stability and reliability these airbags have performed. I put 40 psi in the airbags using my weight distribution hitch , and it worked well. During my trip a support bar fell off while on the road without me knowing. That told me right there how much support and strong the bags are. Coming back from my trip I had no support bars and put more air (50) PSI. The support bags held up well. I can feel the difference between not having the support bars versus having them. My truck was a little bouncy on wavy roads but not bad enough to have a negative impact on the airbag support If it wasn't for the strength and support from the airbags i wouldn't be confident enough to tow without the support bars When not towing i leave 10-15 psi in the bags. It's amazing how long the air holds up to 3 weeks or so without adding air. Very happy with my purchase

Things are working well so far. I tow and haul during the spring,summer and fall. The most air I put in the bags was 50 PSI. The air still holds pretty good towing.Time will tell if the bags hold up as the bags age.

Watched the install video twice before the shipment got here and had no problems installing it. Also installed the WirelessOne from Airlift at the same time. Picked up some 1/4" clamps to make the air lines look a little cleaner, and hold them in place during our snowy and icy winters. Including the WirelessOne system, it took about 8 hours from the time I washed the underside of the truck until I rolled it back out from the garage. Pulled the camper this morning and all my old issues have disappeared. Truck is level, trailer pulls great, and the cooling system is back to working as needed. Highly recommend this suspension kit!

These were a great addition to my truck. I moved from Washington to Michigan 1 year ago. Heavily loaded trailer and truck. No sag, no issues. Full disclosure I had to get some custom U bolts made because of my setup, but I have had zero issues. Great buy.

I plumbed my airlines through the license plate which turned out to be very handy.

I didn’t do the install myself. However my mechanic talked me into these after adding a rack and rooftop tent to my ‘14 Tacoma. Absolutely Fantastic. I have a 3” suspension lift and the truck handles as near to stock as I can remember. Awesome product. Easy install (according to mechanic). Thanks all. Oh yes, one issue because I added a leaf spring when I lifted it. He had to find new shackles to allow for fit. FYI

Not quite Overland, definitely camping, hunting fishing. Its my “bugout” vehicle whenever need be. Moving back home to Central NY from MA soon and hoping to spend most spring/summer camping for sure. Love these springs! Seriously has not driven this well since stock. With the rack and rtt on top its an added (roughly) 500lbs and a bit top heavy. Not any more! Thanks all

a very good choice. The F150 did not have enough stock suspension for my 24 foot trailer with a GVER 10,000lb. Now we all know the truck will pull that weight but when you hooked up it squatted.After installing the air lift it does not squat any more and the truck with a 5.0 has enough power to pull the weight. I had Monroe air shocks on it before but they would not do the job. I am very happy with the setup. I replaced the Monroe air shocks with Rancho shock's and the ride is amazing with or with out the trailer. This was a great investment for the long haul.

The Air Lift is working GREAT a year later. We just hauled a Generac 705 miles up north and brought a load of big rocks back for a guy that wanted to build a waterfall for his coy fish and the Air lift system was able to handle the weight just fine and rode great. Every one comments about how smooth the truck rides. The Air Lift system has handled everything we have asked it it to and has been trouble free. These will go on every truck I won in the future.

by:
Installed yesterday and tried them out with the fifth wheel loaded. Leveled my truck out in seconds with a compressor. The installation video on the same page as the product was extremely easy to follow. Also, Joy was awesome with helping me select what I needed over the phone. Very happy with this.
by:
The airbags did their job! I’ve got a 2021 Toyota Tacoma, and I’m really happy with the results so far. I only had to put in about 10 psi, and that was more than enough to handle the weight of the dump trailer. The install was a bit tedious and took around 3 hours total. The left side definitely took longer than the right.

Besides the time it took, I am glad you were able to get these installed and notice a difference right away! They look nice installed. Are you towing anything other than your dump trailer?

by:
I had the airbags installed at my local auto shop. It took them 4 1/2 hours to install them. The kit I purchased didn't include a heatshield to protect the airbag from the exhaust pipe so I had to contact Airlift to get one sent to me. It's been 12 days since contacting them and haven't received the part yet.
by:
2026 Ford F-350 Super Duty
Install on a 2026 F350 SRW. Love the product and have zero issues with that itself. The reason for the 4 star is the clearance with the factory sway bar and brake lines. It does mention that in the instructions, however it's extremely tight and I'll definitely be checked for rubbing in the future to make sure I don't have clearance issues. Otherwise, they work great paired with the Airlift WirelessAIR compressory system, zero complaints on the usability of the product.
by:
Quick and easy install for anyone that can use a wrench. Bags help a ton with eliminating squat on the truck. If pulling trailers is in your daily routine then they are a must. Pull the trigger and order ya some. You won’t regret it and it’s the best bang for your buck

Glad to hear you are still liking them, Zach! Are the picture you sent in before or after the bags were installed? If it's after, I think you could actually go with a little higher pressure to really level out!

Dodge Ram Pickup
I just completed the install of this Airlifter 5000 series air bag kit. First, the kit, without a doubt, is a high quality kit with many of it's components designed specifically for specific vehicle application. I installed it under the rear of our new-to-us 2021 Ram 1500 Crew Cab Laramie 4x4 Ecodiesel. I was very pleasantly surprised by the nice and robust powder coating of the metal mounting plates. That means protection for them for a long, long time. The hardware/fastners were/are of decent quality also. And, while the "springs" used for the temporary carriage bolt retention in part of the install are a good idea, I have maybe a better way of doing that. In my opinion, for whatever that's worth, here's a suggestion.
Since there are TWO of those carriage bolts that have to be installed AT ONE TIME, you now have to deal with those two long tailed springs, carriage bolts that continue to fall backwards into the abyss of the frame, all the while trying to maneuver the frame mount plate into position. Then, trying to retain tension on the tails of those springs that retain the carriage bolts, and align the bolt tips to enter the mount plate, and then, if and or when you get the mount plate into position and both bolt tips are protruding through it, you now have to hold ALL of that in place, while you remove at least one spring so that you can now grab a nut (a feat unto itself) and fit it onto the tip of one bolt, all the while trying to hold tension on that bolt so it won't fall backwards into the frame and start threading it.
Then, once it's threads are started, you can no concentrate on the same operation for the second bolt. What a serious pain in the petute!

But instead of the springs and tails to be used to retain the bolts while prepping to install the mount plate, you use whatever their called, a very, very thin retainer clip or washer or "push clip" (I really don't know the name of them) that are used to retain the drums onto hubs on an axle, ALL THOSE PROBLEMS would be over.

You'd simply use the springs as before to load and pull the bolts through their respective holes as before. Now, with the one bolt in place, reach through the center hole in the frame that's between the two bolt holes and using a finger, push on the head of that installed bolt. Your finger will now hold the bolt in place. Now, with that bolt held in place, you can remove the spring. Then, PUSH the very thing spring clip right over the threads of the bolt and it will "ratchet" down the threads until it bottoms out against the frame. You have now LOCKED that bolt in place and you can let got of it with your finger and that bolt isn't going anywhere!!!!!!!!

Now, do the same for the second bolt. Now, both bolts are held firm in place WITHOUT the long and cumbersome tails of the springs. You can now grab the mount plate and push it up into place and over both exposed sets of threads at the same time WITHOUT FEAR of pushing the bolts back into the frame. You can now hold that mount plate in place while you grab one nut at a time and thread it all the way on. Then do the same for the other nut.

To me, this would be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay easier than the method you (and I, and any installer, be it a shop or a home install) are presently using. If I had a link to what kind of clip I'm talking about, I'd link it.

But, those clips are seriously thin yet are quite capable of retaining those bolts and will not hinder the mate-up of the mount plate to the frame sides. Sure seems worth a looking into to me. Just a suggestion.

So far, After a year of use, these air bag helpers I installed on our 21 Ram 1500 Laramie 4x4 Crew Cab are working just fine. Id recommend them in a heartbeat.

by:
2021 Ford F-350 Super Duty
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.

I can’t believe how much putting these rear springs on my 2021 Jayco Alante Class A has helped the whole suspension and ride.
We took the RV all the way to Alaska through AB, BC, and Yukon Canada. I started with low pressure at 60 psi to see how it performed but ended up having the air set at 80 psi. I would definitely recommend these to anyone with a Ford F-53 suspension who struggles with the ride and comfort.

  • Are the Air Lift load Lifter 5000 Air Bags Compatible with In-Bed Hitch on 2006 Ford F-350
    The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57212 will not work with gooseneck or 5th wheel hitches unless you use the Reese universal rail kit on your 2006 Ford F-350. This will not work with custom rail kits. You will also be able to leave your factory overload springs. That being said, I would recommend the Firestone air bags over the Air Lift. These will have a more reliable and durable construction. They are also compatible with an in-bed hitch so you won't be...

  • Will Air Bags Work with the Underbed Rail and Installation Kit for Demco Hijacker 2008 Ford F-350

  • Air Bag Helper Springs for a 2006 Ford F-350 4x4 Diesel with 6 Inch Lift
    I have a great solution for your lifted 2006 Ford F-350 4x4. You can use Firestone Ride-Rite kit # F2400 with spacer kit # F2375 which are designed for trucks with a 6 inch lift like yours. I have included a link to a video showing an installation of the Firestone kit on a stock truck to give you an idea of what is involved in the installation.

  • Is There Air Bag Kit Compatible with Curt Gooseneck # C60720 for 2008 Ford F-350
    So I am not sure what air bag kit you have so it's hard for me to give you a specific set of instructions as some of them are made differently. What we also are aware of is that some air bag companies make kits that are designed for in-bed hitches like the # C60720 that you mentioned which Air Lift has their part # AL57397 that does work with in-bed hitches like this. Worth noting is that Air Lift also offers the # AL57212 which does not fit with the in-bed hitches unless it's a Reese universal...
