When you’re towing a trailer or hauling a heavy bed load, rear-end sag can throw off your steering and braking. The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs give your suspension up to 5,000 lbs of load-leveling support to keep things level and steady. That means predictable handling, safer braking, and even tire wear no matter how much gear you’re carrying.
Every haul is different, and this setup lets you match your suspension to the job. You can inflate or deflate the air springs from 5 psi to 100 psi to balance ride height and firmness. Run more pressure when you’re loaded to stay level and reduce sway; drop the pressure when unloaded for a smoother ride. Each spring can be inflated separately, so uneven loads stay balanced side to side as well as front to back. Manual inflation valves and air lines come included for easy access at the bumper or other mounting points.
Heavy-duty materials make the difference when you’re relying on air support for serious loads. These double-bellow air bags are made from 2-ply, fabric-reinforced rubber for strength and flexibility. The endcaps use high-strength Zytel nylon that’s lighter than steel but more corrosion resistant, so you don’t have to worry about rust or air loss over time. Air Lift’s exclusive upper and lower roll plates add extra protection and increase load capacity while extending the life of the springs.
The load support system comes with the brackets, hardware, manual valves, and airline kit needed for installation. Just mount the springs, hook up the lines, inflate them, and hit the road. If you want extra convenience later, you can add an optional compressor system with in-cab gauges (sold separately) to monitor or adjust pressure on the fly. It’s straightforward gear that installs cleanly for dependable performance on every trip.

Took my time and followed included instructions exactly. Went together well! Haven’t towed with them yet, but definitely raised the back of my Tacoma with 26 lbs of air pressure that I tested for leaks with! Feel like they’ll be a big improvement when towing our 4200 lbs. camper!
Very easy step by step instructions, how to install.It took me about two hours in my driveway. I got it because I haul a 35' travel trailer. Makes the ride a whole lot smoother
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.
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!
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!
Very easy to install
I've been pleased
SO far so good installed this weekend and drove around and felt good. Will see what happens with the RV loaded.
This fit my 2001 Silverado 1500 perfect ly.
Installation directions were good. Just made first trip. Helped out tremendously. Obviously know nothing to the longevity as of yet.
Super easy to install!
Could tell immediate stability in the truck, haven’t got to hook up to trailer yet, but I can tell it’s gonna worth it! Thank you etrailers for the product and quick delivery!
Installed very easily, I am very happy with my new airbags
Delivered on time. Installation was straight forward and easy remove your wheels and put stands under frame axle will drop down enough to slide airbags in. Attach top mounts then jack up rear end to attach lower mounts. Now I can hook up a trailer and not shine the trees with my headlights. So far very pleased with them.
Installation went well but did need to cut some of the B&W turnover ball hitch bracket for clearance on my 05 Silverado 1500.
Installed in my half ton for pulling my fish house. The air bags made a world of difference. Easy installation as well
