When you’re hauling serious weight, sagging suspension can throw off everything from braking to steering. The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 air helper springs provide up to 5,000 lbs of load-leveling support to help your suspension carry the load safely. They keep your vehicle level front to rear and side to side, improving braking performance, steering response, and headlight aim while reducing strain on your factory suspension.
Every load is different, and these air springs let you dial in the right support. Inflate each spring independently between 5 psi and 100 psi for even weight distribution or to correct side-to-side lean from uneven loads. Manual inflation valves and a full air line kit are included for easy pressure adjustments whenever you change your setup.
The LoadLifter 5000 system is designed for durability under real-world conditions. Each bag is made from 2-ply, fabric-reinforced rubber with high-strength Zytel nylon endcaps that are stronger and more corrosion resistant than steel. Exclusive upper and lower roll plates protect the springs from damage and increase their load capacity, keeping the system leak-free and dependable over the long haul.
Heavy or uneven loads can cause sway, bounce, and bottoming out that wear down your suspension and tires. These air springs absorb road shock and help minimize sway so your ride feels more stable on highways or uneven pavement. The result is a smoother drive with improved handling and less stress on your brakes, tires, and suspension components.
Installing real load support doesn’t have to be complicated. The LoadLifter 5000 comes with all necessary brackets, hardware, air lines, and inflation valves for manual setup. Just mount the springs, hook up the airlines to an accessible spot like the bumper, inflate to your preferred pressure, and you’re ready to roll—with no need for extra parts unless you want to add an onboard compressor later.

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.

Nice job running the Schrader valves through the license plate, that's how I'd do it! '

Definitely should get the job done! Thank you for including the photos - it's always nice to see what things look like in real life situations. Let us know what you think once you've been able to tow, we'd love to know! :)

Glad to hear they are working well for you and they weren't too difficult for your mechanic to get installed, Matthew! Sounds like you have your Taco pretty tricked out! Are you doing an overlanding type thing?

The Air Lift is working GREAT a year later. We just hauled a Generac 705 miles up north and brought a load of big rocks back for a guy that wanted to build a waterfall for his coy fish and the Air lift system was able to handle the weight just fine and rode great. Every one comments about how smooth the truck rides. The Air Lift system has handled everything we have asked it it to and has been trouble free. These will go on every truck I won in the future.

Besides the time it took, I am glad you were able to get these installed and notice a difference right away! They look nice installed. Are you towing anything other than your dump trailer?

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!

So far, After a year of use, these air bag helpers I installed on our 21 Ram 1500 Laramie 4x4 Crew Cab are working just fine. Id recommend them in a heartbeat.

Would love to know your thoughts on them once you're able to try them out with the travel trailer, too! Thanks for sharing the different things you've used them with. Sounds like they are just the ticket for your scenario :)
