Smooth, Stable Ride: Reduces sway, squat, and bottoming out so your truck feels planted and controlled.

Features to know about
Stay Level and Confident Under Heavy Loads: Up to 5,000 lbs of Load-Leveling Support
When you’re towing a big trailer or hauling a heavy load, the rear end can squat hard. The LoadLifter 5000 air springs add up to 5,000 lbs of rear axle support to keep your truck level and balanced. That means safer handling, better braking performance, and even tire wear. By taking the strain off your factory suspension, these air springs help your vehicle ride steady and maintain proper headlight aim when loaded down.
Dial In the Perfect Ride: Adjustable from 5 psi to 100 psi
Every load is different, so being able to tune your setup matters. Each LoadLifter 5000 spring can be manually inflated between 5 psi and 100 psi for the support you need. Inflate both evenly for towing or adjust them independently for side-to-side leveling when hauling uneven cargo. Manual inflation valves and air lines are included, and a compressor system with in-cab gauges can be added later for easy adjustments.
Built Tough for Real-World Use: Two-Ply Rubber and Zytel Endcaps
These springs are built to hold up under serious work. The bags use 2-ply, fabric-reinforced rubber for strength and flexibility, while the endcaps are made from high-strength Zytel nylon that’s lighter, stronger, and more corrosion resistant than steel. Upper and lower roll plates protect the bags from damage and increase load capacity. That kind of construction means less worry about leaks or corrosion down the road.
Smooths Out Rough Roads: Reduces Sway and Absorbs Road Shock
Hauling or towing doesn’t have to mean a rough ride. The air springs absorb bumps, sway, and road shock so your truck feels more stable over uneven pavement or when passing trucks on the highway. With proper inflation, you get a smoother ride loaded or lightly packed—without bottoming out or bouncing down the road.
Straightforward Setup for DIY Installers: Brackets and Hardware Included
You don’t need a full shop to install these springs. The LoadLifter 5000 comes with mounting brackets, hardware, manual valves, and air lines—everything you need to bolt it on and get rolling. Once mounted, just set your air pressure through the inflation valves on the bumper, dial it in for your load, and hit the road knowing your suspension is ready to handle whatever’s in the bed or behind the hitch.

57295 Airlift Load Lifter 5000 Air Bag Suspension Support System - Back Axle
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 3440356
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!

I have had the best experience with this company. First off I ordered airbags for my Dodge and I ordered the wrong ones so I called and they set me up with a return. I ordered the new ones that same day. This is a great company and will definitely do more business with these guys thank you 3549732

I installed these on a 2004 Ram 2500. I have towed an 11k fifth wheel approximately 10,000 miles with them and couldn’t be happier. The hardest part was figuring out where to put the airlines. I decided to run them through the existing frame holes and drill out the top license plate screws to give them a stealthy look with easy access to fill. Install didn’t take more than 2 hours with air tools. 1465979
Excellent material and the installation instructions were very clear and to the point with the best pictures that coincided with the written material. Only took me 2.5 hours from the start of assembling the air bags with the hardware on the workbench to putting away my tools! This is on my '04 dodge 3500 dually that will be handling my new Host Mammoth Slide in Camper that will set at apprx. 5000 lbs.! Beautiful to maintain level truck and to know that the springs are not collapsed and wearing them down prematurely as well as providing a safe handling truck when on the road. 3137300

I got a set on my 1500 dodge and love them. It raises the rear of the truck moving weight back to the trailer got steering and breaking of the front back. 3421772

First, looking at the website was pretty easy to navigate. Ordered product and confirmed delivery email sent that evening. Received two days later. Box a little damaged, but that was on FEDEX. However everything inside in tact and instructions were simple to follow.
The product, I wish I would have gotten these years ago. Makes the unloaded ride much better and not so “horse bucking” that I was used to. I usually loaded the back with 150 lbs of sand. No longer, rides smooth. Haven’t had a loaded test yet but looking forward to it. 1526239
Made towing camp trailer a breeze. No more bouncing and swaying 3428840

They work well after fixing leak in line. 4 stars because I don't like the way they sit on the axle housing. I believe it would be much better if you rounded the points where they sit.i will be taking them off to do this myself for piece of mind. 1153461
We bought this to stabilize our 3/4 ton pickup we use when pulling our large 5th wheel camper. Does a great job! Glad we bought it! 3140746

Overall experience with etrailer was very good. Air Lift was installed on a 2004 Dodge 2500 which is used to pull a 36 ft 5th wheel, stock trailer and lots of ton loads of cattle products. The Air Lift system has leveled out the ride, stabilized the ride and overall performance is excellent. The only issue I have is a minor air leak which requires regular checking and adding air. Have not been able to locate this leak and for the time being will just keep checking and adding air as needed. Yes, I would recommend Air Lift!! 1260498

You mentioned that you were experiencing minor air leaks. The easiest to see where the leak is coming from is to use a spray bottle with soap water to spray each fitting to see which is leaking. Once you have found it remove the air line and re cut it. Make sure to get a very straight even cut. An angled or crooked cut will cause leaking every time. Then place it back in and retest.

The Air Lift system is still performing as expected. The minor air leak was resolved. Under load the system provides a stable ride. When not under a load the ride is a little rougher...I just have to remember it is a 34 ton truck. Yes, I would still recommend the Air Lift system.

This is a great system that is pretty easy to install for the average garage mechanic. Installed on a 2018 Ram Mega Cab with 6.7. 30 PSI in the bags and it eliminates the squat when pulling my fifth wheel. One year in and still works great with no air loss from week to week. In my opinion upgrading to the braided lines was just inexpensive insurance. 3266123

Received via UPS very fast. Box was a little ragged and the UPS driver waited as I opened it to make sure it was ok. One of the plastic bags holding nuts and bolts had come open allowing them to rattle around inside the box but only was missing a single flat washer. Easy install, I took a lot of breaks and I’m a little slow getting up and down so it took 4 hours. Held pressure overnight. I’m going to haul our 40 ft 5th wheel in a couple of days looking forward to using the air bags 671822

I love the air bags for hauling our 5th wheel RV. Our truck used to squat some but now I run with about 80 lbs and brings truck back to standard height just have to remember to let some air out when unhooked from trailer or ride is a little stiff

I've only had the kit for a few days at this point, but it went together easily and the instructions are some of the better I've used for truck accessories. Full size, full color graphics really help. Following instructions exactly. it went together without any leaks and is performing great.
I have it on a 2018 Ram 3500 and with the bags at 5 PSI I can't really notice any difference in ride quality. I have yet to use it for its intended purpose (truck camper) since I don't have it yet but I'm sure it will improve stability. I can tell a difference is how much the truck leans going around a corner if I just even bump it up to 10psi empty. Only tough part of the install is tightening the bags to the bottom bracket after you have them on and aligned. You'll want to have a 14mm ratcheting wrench to make it not so frustrating. 801647

Hey Truitt, welcome back! The 100 PSI is the overall max rating on the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs item # AL57295. You'll want to load your truck up with all your gear, connect your trailer if you're towing, and then adjust the PSI in the air bags to ensure your rear end is level.

Jesus, the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57295 is not going to work with your 2023 GMC Yukon XL. Instead, I'd recommend checking out the Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs # AL60769 for the 1500 or the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-202-47 for the 2500.
These springs have 1,000 lbs # AL60769 or 1,500 lbs # SSR-202-47 of load leveling capacity, are made in the USA, and have a no drill install. view full answer...

The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TDR3500CA will need a 1/2" to 1-1/2" gap for proper installation on your 2014 Ram 3500. The only Timbren kits that have no gap are ones that are installed on a motorhome.

Hi Bob!
The Timbren # TGMRG25C you ordered will have 6,000 pounds of load assist and will be the highest rated option available for your 2003 Tahoe. This will definitely solve your sagging issue, especially if you are close to or at the maximum load capacity of your vehicle. It must be pointed out, when you are unloaded your ride will be noticeably stiffer than your stock suspension due to their heavy duty nature.

Hey Steve, since your 2016 Ram 3500 has a 2.5 inch lift you'd need to also use the Air Lift spacers part # AL52420 with the Air Lift kit part # AL57295 as that will take up the extra space created by the lift kit. Are you wanting a compressor kit too? view full answer...
Hello Curtis, thanks for reaching out. For your 2012 Ram 2500 I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57295. Air lift makes spacers for lifted trucks, but if you are unsure of how much lift you have, you will need to measure to determine the correct spacer.
The best way to determine this is to install the upper and lower brackets, measure the distance between them and subtract the height of the air bag. Then for example, if you still have a 2" gap, you can use... view full answer...
Hey Bill,
The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57297 is compatible with in-bed hitches but is only for 2WD models of the 08 Ram 2500. If you have a 4WD model you'll want the # AL57295 instead. If you want to be able to monitor and adjust your psi levels on the go then I recommend also picking up the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor # AL74000EZ as well.

I spoke with my contact at Air Lift about kit # AL57295 on your 2014 Ram 3500. He stated that what you are experiencing is normal. What I recommend is getting the truck loaded up and the trailer coupled and then adding however much air is needed to the air bags.
If this is a 5th wheel trailer then at 25,900 pounds the pin weight pressing downward on the rear axle will be around 5,180 pounds so in that case it would be slightly over the capacity of this system. If you are not towing the... view full answer...
You can add tee if you would like to fill both airbags of your Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57295 with the same inflation valve but you would lose the ability to be able to adjust the airbags separately for uneven loads in the bed of your 2013 Ram 2500. If you lost some pressure in one bag but not the other you wouldn't be able to adjust just the one bag to even them back out and would instead have to drain both and then re-inflate them.

For your 2012 Ram 2500, you are correct that either suspension enhancement system will work. However there are major differences between them functionally.
The Timbren system # TDR2500CA is a very solid jounce spring. It is a strong Aeon hollow rubber spring that is a very easy installation. It is not adjustable, and there is no maintenance. The only down side to these is that they can engage on large bumps when the truck is unloaded. This gives you a decent kick because the springs... view full answer...

Between the two kits, the one I highly recommend is the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2299. The reason for this is because they are made with four layers of reinforced rubber, which is a thicker, more reliable construction than the double layer of the Air Lift.

The frame and suspension is different between the 1500 and 2500 series 2012 Dodge Ram so the parts are not interchangeable.
