Features to know about

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

When you’ve got a lot of weight in the bed or a trailer hooked up, the rear end shouldn’t sag. LoadLifter 5000 air springs add up to 5,000 lbs of load-leveling support to keep your vehicle level even when it’s fully loaded. By taking strain off the factory suspension, they help maintain steering and braking performance, protect your tires from uneven wear, and keep headlight aim where it should be. It all adds up to better handling and a safer, more stable ride when towing or hauling.

Fine-Tune Your Ride for Every Trip: Air Adjustable from 5 psi to 100 psi

Every load is different, and these air springs let you dial in exactly the support you need. With adjustable air pressure from 5 psi to 100 psi, you can stiffen them up for heavy loads or let them down for everyday driving comfort. Each bag can be inflated independently through the included manual inflation valves and air lines, so you can also level out uneven loads side to side. You choose how firm or compliant the ride feels while keeping your truck sitting right where it should.

Built Tough for Real Work: Reinforced Rubber with Zytel Nylon Endcaps

These aren’t lightweight bags meant for showroom trucks—they’re built for hard use. Each spring is made from 2-ply, fabric-reinforced rubber with high-strength Zytel nylon endcaps that are stronger and lighter than steel and won’t corrode over time. Air Lift’s exclusive roll plates protect the springs from damage and increase their load capacity by up to 10 percent. With heavy-duty brackets and hardware included, this setup is made to handle years of hauling without leaks or rust slowing you down.

Smooths Out the Ride and Reduces Strain: Suspension Enhancement That Works

Hauling heavy cargo doesn’t have to mean a rough ride or bottoming out on bumps. These air springs absorb road shock and reduce sway so the truck feels planted instead of bouncing or wallowing under weight. By sharing the load with your OEM suspension, they cut brake wear, improve handling through curves and dips, and keep your vehicle at normal ride height even when loaded up for long trips or tough jobs.

DIY Friendly Setup: Everything You Need Is in the Box

Installing real load support doesn’t require a shop visit. The kit includes all required mounting brackets, hardware, manual valves, and air lines for a straightforward installation using common tools. Mount the inflation valves in an accessible spot—typically on the bumper—and you’re ready to adjust pressures whenever needed. If you ever want automatic control later, an optional compressor system with in-cab gauges can be added without reworking the setup.

by:

A few purchases from you this year, always as represented with accurate shipping info. Prices are among the best



by:

Video made them easy to install. New truck. Second pair I've purchased



by:

There was a problem on the drivers side. Upper airbag mount bolt holes did not completely line up Bolt hole was off by 1/4 inch. Had to put in at an angle and use nut to pull mount up and align. Other then that they were pretty easy to install.



by:

Upper bracket had to be drilled to fit properly on 2023 Ram 3500. All other pieces fit well. I am waiting to test the product the next time that I tow a heavy load. The service at etrailer was great. Product shipped quickly.



by:

One of the air bags has developed a leak at the fitting the screws in the top. I replaced the fitting (elbow) but it still is leaking.



by:

Working great just like the day I installed it. no issues



by:

The air lift I received was easily enough to install. The performance of the air lift has exceeded my expectations as well as stabilized our vehicle during towing. I have had a number of items purchased from etrailer in the past and no issues with them I have recommended them to others for their towing needs. Thank you



by:

Went very well except the top bracket holes did not match the frame holes.



by:

had mine installed for a year now, all i do is pull trailers, given me zero problems

DIY installation goes smoothly only need a bit of patience & set aside the time. Parts fit great. Delivery was prompt & complete.

No problem with the airbags I have towed my fifth wheel three or four times with them on the truck the fifth wheel weighs 14,000 pounds it’s 42 foot long no problem with the airbags thanks again



by:

This is my second truck I've installed the airlift system on. The installation went smooth, just like before; after watching the installation video it took maybe a couple hours. I had them aired up and hitched the truck to the fifth wheel, and it made a big difference with leveling the hitch load. I'm very pleased with them.



by:

Everything was top notch. Ordering, shipping, delivery, and product were all outstanding and a pleasure doing business with etrailer.



by:

These were put on my Ram 3500 and work great when towing my 46’ Toy hauler. The ride when they are at 5psi not towing is about the normal ride as what it was before the installation.



by:

Having had this product/kit on a previous truck, I knew what I was getting and I wasn’t disappointed. Fairly easy and straightforward install. Simple to use. Toughest part is finding the sweet spot (correct) air pressure for what you are towing. I would highly suggest leaving about 5-8pbs of pressure in the bags when not in regular use. You won’t know they are there and everything stays in great and ready to use condition.



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.

  • Does An Air Bag Kit Eliminate The Need For A Weight Distribution Hitch
    Hello Mike, thanks for reaching out. An air bag system can help to resolve some of the same issued a WD hitch would. Air bags level your ride which helps with stability, sway, handling and braking. The WD hitch helps to level the camper and actively prevent sway. So depending on your setup, the air bags might be all you need, but if the sway is severe, a WDH would also be beneficial. Here is what I recommend for your 2024 Ram 2500 4WD: - Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs -...

  • Air Lift Air Bag Kit that Fits 2019 Ram 3500 4WD
    Hey Greg, we have the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 # AL57231 that fits your 2019 Ram 3500 4WD but the part number you mentioned does only fit the 2WD models. Are you wanting a compressor kit too?

  • Is There Suspension Enhancement that Fits 2019 Ram 3500 with Timbren Kit Installed
    I have a solution for you Ron, but the Timbrens you have now would interfere with all of the air bag kits as they both need to install in the same area. Instead you'd want to go with the Roadactive kit part # RAS3613-HD which will give you the support you are looking for but won't interfere with the Timbrens at all.

  • Will Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs Fit 2020 Ram 3500 4WD Diesel
    Hey Mark! Yes, the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57231 will fit your 2020 Ram 3500. The only exception is models with the factory air suspension. Are you planning to add an air compressor? It is a good idea to have on onboard compressor like the # AL25980 so you can adjust the air bags wherever you go. This is a wireless system that is operated via the remote or app on your phone.

  • Which Air Bags for 2021 Ram 3500 Cab and Chassis
    I may have a solution for you to add airbags to your 2021 Ram 3500 Cab and Chassis, but AirLift does not make an air bag solution for this truck. You'll want to measure the distance from the outside of the frame to the inside of the tire and make sure it is at least 8", and as long as that is the case you can use the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2478. These Firestone bags are a confirmed fit on your 3500 cab and chassis with the diesel engine...

    With only hauling the 5th wheel trailer with your 2022 Ram 3500 SRW the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57231 will be enough to help level your truck. The Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System # AL58WQ will allow you to wirelessly control the air pressure in each of your air bags from your smart phone using the Air Lift app. It also has a smart manifold that will maintain the air pressure to within 3psi of your settings while you operate your Ram.

  • How Long Will The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57231 Take To Install?
    For an average DIY installer the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57231 should take 2-3 hours to install. If you are also looking to install the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System # AL74000EZ at the same time this will add another hour to the time above.

  • Recommended Air Springs For A 2019 Ram 3500 Cab And Chassis
    Hey Jeffrey, If your Ram has 4WD then I recommend going with the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2710. Firestone crimps the seal for their bags so they tend to be stronger when going over curbs and larger bumps that would drop the axle. Air Lift has a hose clamp style seal that can rip apart if the axle isn't supported. If you have 2WD then you'll have to go with the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs # AL57531 instead. Both of these options...

  • Will Pressure in Air Lift AL57231 Air Suspension Increase as 2019 Ram 3500 is Loaded
    What you describe is indeed normal. If the system is pressurized before the truck is loaded, adding weight will further compress the air springs thus increasing the pressure. The more weight, the more the pressure will increase. The system lists a max air pressure of 100 lbs, but Air Lift tells us that if loading the vehicle takes the pressure over that point, the bags are designed to handle it and it shouldn't cause a problem. If you're concerned about the increased pressure, you could...

  • Are Spacers Needed to Install Air Helper Springs on 2019 Ram 3500 With 1 Inch Lift in Rear
    According to Air Lift, you won't need a spacer for only a 1 inch suspension lift. They don't even offer a lift that small, so you'll be just fine. For a LoadLifter 7500 XL kit that offers up to 7500 lbs of support, the # AL57531 Air Helper Spring Kit you'd looked at would be a great choice. For 5000 lbs of support, go with # AL57231. Both would be a fit for your truck UNLESS you have the factory air suspension. You might also want to consider an on-board compressor system like # AL25856...

  • Can you swap the factory air bags on a 2021 Ram 3500 for AirLift Load Lifer 5000 Air Bags?
    Thanks for reaching out, this is a great question Dalton! With the 2021 Ram 3500 having factory air suspension, the AirLift 57231 LoadLifter 5000 # AL57231 will not replace those airbags. The factory setup on your truck is a fully integrated air suspension with sensors, a computer, and a built-in compressor that automatically adjusts ride height. The AirLift kit, on the other hand, is designed for trucks with standard leaf spring suspension and works as an add-on helper system, not a...

  • Recommended Air Bags for 2021 Ram 3500 Cab and Chassis
    For air bags designed to fit your 2021 Ram 3500 Cab and Chassis you need the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2478. The Air Lift # AL57231 is only designed to fit the pickup, not the cab and chassis. The # F2478 has a 4,800 lb load-leveling capacity. These will keep you level while towing or hauling, and help increase stability. They feature a double-convoluted design and are attached to the corrosion-resistant metal end plates with a time-proven,...
