Features to know about
Stay Level and Confident Under Heavy Loads: Up to 5,000 lbs of Rear Axle Support
When the bed is packed or a trailer’s hooked up, the rear of your truck shouldn’t sag or throw off your steering. The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 system adds up to 5,000 lbs of load-leveling support to the rear axle so your ride height stays steady. It evens out the weight across all four wheels, improving braking and handling while keeping your headlights properly aimed and your tires wearing evenly.
Dial In the Ride You Want: Adjustable 5 to 100 psi Air Pressure
Every load is different, and these air springs adjust to match. With air pressure from 5 psi to 100 psi, you can fine-tune the support for towing, hauling, or unloaded driving. Inflate each bag separately for side-to-side leveling when a camper or uneven cargo shifts weight to one side. Manual inflation valves and air lines are included for easy access on the bumper, and you can add an onboard compressor system later if you want in-cab control.
Built to Last Through Real-World Work: Reinforced Rubber with Zytel Endcaps
These springs are 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 shield the bags from damage and increase their load capacity. This design keeps leaks and rust out while extending the life of your suspension kit even under constant heavy use.
Easy Setup That’s Ready for the Long Haul: Complete Hardware and Lifetime Warranty
Everything needed for installation comes in the box—mounting brackets, hardware, manual valves, and air lines. Once installed, just add air through the valves and you’re ready to go. The LoadLifter 5000 includes a lifetime warranty with no mileage restrictions and a 60-day satisfaction guarantee for confidence that matches its heavy-duty performance.

Honestly the bags seem to loose a little air after time. That being said could be a little leak on the plastic lines but don’t think so. The biggest complaint is the caps on the bags are pretty darn rusty for only being a year old. But they do work good with my truck camper. Thank you

First time dealing with etrailer has been a great experience so far, I got 2 out of the 3 items, one of the items was a mix up but it was no concern was able to call and get connected with help within seconds, a huge thank you to will, he was great to talk to and very professional and was able to help with the mix up and got me in the right track with my original order. Shipping is fast and the tracking works great definitely a 10/10 for these guys!! I highly recommend

Lance camper at 2600 lbs. on my Ford F350 crewcab pickup. Despite the camper package option on my truck with extra rear leaf springs, it still pushed the bed end down and the hood side up in the air. Annoying side to side roll as well. The AirLift LoadLifter had very good instructions and was not difficult to install. Drilled five holes in the frame on each side to attach. Plenty of part options to make it a very good fit. Aired up the springs until the camper was perfectly level. Truck now drives level and considerably less side to side roll. This was well worth the price for the performance.

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!

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.

- Compatibility of Rear Axle Air Bag Kit with B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Hitch in 2001 Ford F-350Compatibility of a rear axle air bag kit with 5th wheel rail installation depends on the specific products you have. Some combinations will be compatible while others not. I linked our page for rear axle air bag kits for your truck. Firestone kit # F2550, which fits both 2WD and 4WD versions of the 2001 F-350, is compatible with an in-bed hitch like a B&W Patriot # BWRVK3270. But the AirLift kit # AL57215 is not compatible with an in-bed 5th wheel or gooseneck hitch. 5th wheel hitches...

- How Tall are the Air Springs in Air Lift Kit AL57215The air springs included with Air Lift kit # AL57215 are 6 inches tall. Air Lift has this handy graphic, included here, that explains how to measure to determine which size spacer would be needed. However, you pretty much have to have the air spring mounting brackets in place to get the most accurate measurement.

view full answer... - Rear Air Bags for a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500Thanks for reaching out, Chad! The kit that you referenced, # F2220, is only compatible with a 3500 - Cab and Chassis so wouldn't work for your 2500 - Pickup. The kit that would work is part # F2071. This will work on 2WD and 4WD trucks. Something to keep in mind is that it's not compatible with in-bed hitch; product mounts in same location as hitch brackets. You also need to check the distance from the outside of the frame to the inside of the tire and that it's at least 7-1/2". There...

Since there are several different options your truck could have you will want to check the owners manual of your truck to determine what the towing capacity of your specific vehicle is.

However, there is a Firestone kit available with the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2550, which will give you a similar air bag kit to an AirLift system.

Your particular vehicle will not work with air springs and an in bed hitch, so I recommend the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TDR1525H4.

They occupy the same location on your 2003 F-250's frame. SumoSprings and Timbrens are also not compatible with that set of base rails.

view full answer... - What is Minimum Air Pressure for Air Lift Suspension Kit in 1999 Ford F-250With the Air lift air bag kits like the part # AL57215 which is a fit for your 1999 Ford F-250 the recommended minimum air pressure is going to be 5 psi. When not towing you'd want to keep the minimum pressure in the bags so that your ride quality isn't harsh. The reason there is a minimum air pressure is to ensure the bag holds it's shape which prevents damage.

The only way that you will be able to stop one from leaking is to replace this. Any fix that you were able to come up with would only be temporary and you would be back to square one when it fails. This could also happen during the middle of a trip therefore you will need to just replace the entire air bag.

As you already have the Air Lift springs you will want to consider having a B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1500 custom mounted into your frame. This hitch is a universal part designed for a flatbed to be welded in, but it can also be used on your F-350 with additional steel structure.
