When heavy gear or a trailer pushes your suspension down, steering and braking can feel sloppy. The LoadLifter 5000 air springs give your rear axle up to 5,000 lbs of load-leveling support to keep things level and predictable. By balancing the weight across all four wheels, the truck stays steady under braking, headlights stay aimed right, and tires wear evenly instead of scrubbing out early.
Every load and road is different. With the LoadLifter 5000 you can fine-tune support anywhere from 5 psi up to 100 psi. Pump up both bags evenly to level heavy loads or inflate each side separately to correct off-center cargo. Manual inflation valves and air lines are included, and they’re usually mounted on the bumper for easy access. Add a compressor system later if you want in-cab adjustments—either way, you control how it rides.
Heavy-duty work calls for serious materials. These air springs are built 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 protect the bags against road impacts and even increase their load capacity. Everything mounts up with durable brackets and hardware designed to handle years of towing and hauling.
When the bed’s full or a trailer’s hooked up, bumps can turn into bounce. The LoadLifter 5000 helps calm that down by taking pressure off your factory suspension. The system helps reduce sway, squat, and harsh rebound so the truck feels more planted through turns and over uneven pavement. It’s the kind of stability that makes long drives with a heavy load a lot less tiring.
You don’t need a shop to get better suspension support. The kit comes with mounting brackets, hardware, manual valves, and air lines for a straightforward install using common tools. Just bolt in the springs, route the lines where you want them, inflate through the valves, and you’re ready to roll. Once set up, it’s simple to adjust pressure based on whatever you’re hauling next.

Put these on my 2022 Ford F250 to assist with pulling my 5th wheel. Watched the etrailer YouTube video along with the instructions installation went smoothly.
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
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
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.
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!
Easy ordering, easy to find what I needed. Web page was easy to navigate I hate emails Google search anything of that nature. I like to go to the store and buy in person. A hands on type of guy. This process made me feel comfortable and at ease knowing I bought the right product. I highly recommend and thank you for making it simple to find what I needed not to mention got here ahead of time
I’ve had the airbags for a year. They work great. I installed them on a 2003 crew cab long bed F250 diesel I drive everyday in my contracting business. I am constantly loaded with tools and trailers and equipment. They have not leaked air and improved the ride of my truck. Easy to install and no issues. Great product.
The instructions are not very clear. I tried installing prior to pulling my rv across u.s. but didnt realize i needed to grand off a rivet in frame so I couldnt install in time for my trip.
Went on easily. Have installed many sets from air lift in the past and these did not disapoint me.

This air lift system has been on my truck for over a year now and it works just fine. I run them with about 20 in the bags and it assists the suspension perfectly.
I put the F250 air springs on my lifted 2001 ford excursion which worked out great. The customer service is amazing I ordered the excursion air springs and the mounting brackets were not working out with the lift so I returned them and got the f250 brackets. The return process was simple and the new springs came in quick.
Don't know, was to pick up my new 5th wheel today, but couldn't, due to the fact that the air suspension I was sent was wrong for my truck, even though they said it would fit. They were to expedite a correct unit for me, that was to be shipped over night so I could install to pick up my 5th wheel. 2 days later, too late, I had to pay someone to get my 5th wheel. Very, very disappointed and COSTLY!!
Think the kit falls just short of being a really nice KIT. Out of all the hardware that is included, after running a check to see compatibility for a 2002 F350, it does NOT come with the mounting nuts, bolts, or washers to install. How hard would it be to complete the kit to make it user install ready. Almost feel like I should return them just because of that. If I have to go to the store to finish the kit, why do an online order, might as well just go to the store and get the kit and the bolts all at once, and that would have saved a bunch of time. It was disappointing that the kit showed up a day later than the web site said, no big deal, but then it showed up around 630pm, which then it was too dark, so I opened the box the next day to find out I would then have to go to the store, which in turned, made our leave delayed by three days.
Work the air bags Monday thru Friday every week since install.They complement upgraded leaf springs very well! Had no maintenance or problems of any kind.
Truck rides nice with 15 lbs of air. F250 didn't have the factory bolts that are shown in the videos. It required 2- 3/4" bolts nuts and lock washers. 2 5/8" bolts nuts and lock washers. I had to drill the small hole there wasn't any. It installed very easily though

Great product was Incorrect for my B&W hitch but being a welder fabricator I slightly modified the mounts to work properly .the f350 takes the set that mounts to the inside of the spring to work properly these fit atop the spring..
