When heavy trailers or bed loads make the rear end sag, handling and braking can take a hit. The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 air springs add up to 5,000 lbs of load-leveling support to keep your truck level and stable. By distributing weight across all four wheels, they reduce stress on your factory suspension and help maintain proper headlight aim, steering response, and braking control under load.
Not every haul is the same, so the LoadLifter 5000 gives you full control over ride firmness. With air pressure adjustable from 5 psi to 100 psi, you can run higher pressure for towing or heavy bed loads, then drop it down for daily driving comfort. Each spring can be inflated independently using the included manual inflation valves and air lines to level off-center loads or side-to-side weight differences.
Durability makes all the difference when you’re hauling serious weight. These air springs are made of 2-ply, fabric-reinforced rubber with high-strength Zytel nylon endcaps that are lighter, stronger, and more corrosion resistant than steel. Exclusive upper and lower roll plates protect the bags from road wear while increasing load capacity, so you get long-lasting support even in demanding conditions.
Getting load support doesn’t have to be complicated. The LoadLifter 5000 kit comes with mounting brackets, hardware, manual inflation valves, and air lines—everything you need to install and get rolling. Once mounted, just inflate through the easy-access valves on your bumper to dial in your setup. For those who want extra convenience later, a compressor system with in-cab gauges can be added separately for automatic pressure adjustment.

Hello neighbors, Steven here with etrailer.com. Today, we're looking at the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs and it's a kit for the rear axle. Now folks, this is a custom fit application, so what you wanna do is you want to go to our homepage here at etrailer.com, enter things like your year, make and model, cab size, bed length, 4 wheel drive, et cetera, whatever it asks you, to be ensured you're getting the right parts the first time. Now, as of this current video, this fits a '23 through 2024 Ford F350 Super Duty 4 Wheel Drive. Keep in mind, years could change, videos could be outdated, and it could fit newer years, so always, always check our fit guide. Now folks, this will provide you with, your vehicle rather, up to 5,000 pounds of load leveling support.
It is going to reduce the strain on your rear suspension and help improve both the safety and the ride quality. It has been designed for heavy duty applications, such as 1/2 ton, 3/4 ton, and 1 ton pickup trucks and it will keep your vehicle level when you're hauling a heavy load. So a lot of times, you're loaded up and if it's heavy in the rear, it's gonna push your headlights up and the front of your truck up. This will also help put that headlight aim back to a normal safe position. It can help improve your steering and braking performance and it'll help keep your tires from wearing unevenly.
So if you have less pressure on one side versus the other and that kind of stuff, you're gonna help it wear evenly when you get that back to normal. Now you can manually adjust the air pressure to get the even load distribution and support you need. You can level your vehicle front to rear with these and you can inflate each spring independently for side to side leveling. So maybe you got like a salt spreader in the back of the truck, a camper in the bed of your truck, something like that, where it's just heavier on one side. You can inflate these independently and put one side up versus the other, et cetera, to level it out.
Now this does diminish sway and absorb road shock for a smooth ride. It does come with air lifts, exclusive upper and lower roll plates. Now those will help protect the spring from damage and extend the life of the air springing suspension. The bags are constructed of a two-ply fabric reinforced rubber, while the plastic end caps that are hidden under these silver pieces here, those are made of a high strength Zytel nylon, which is a lot lighter, stronger, and more corrosion resistant than the steel ones out there on the market. All your mounting brackets are heavy duty high density steel that's been black powder coated for superior rust prevention and that kind of stuff.
You have manual air inflation valves and you get an airline with the Schrader valves already installed. You get a heat plate, or heat guard rather, for the one side where the muffler is. All the mounting hardware, the U-bolts, the brackets, keep in mind I've got all this mocked up here just for viewing purposes only. Obviously, the U-bolts and that other bracket there on the table here would go around the axle, on the frame part there, to mount these in place. So again, everything here is just loosely fit together for demonstration purposes. Okay, I see the bag compress and hear that air. You're gonna have between 5 PSI minimum all up to 100 PSI max in these bags. Follow the instructions, use the recommended starting PSI included in the instructions. You get a nice lifetime warranty on the bags, the hardware, everything here. I want to say that these are made in the USA, so it's a nice addition as well, everything made here in the US. If you want a compressor with an end cap gauge, that kind of stuff, that is sold separately, you can purchase that separately here at etrailer and then you could monitor and automatically adjust the air pressure on the fly from inside the cab without getting out to manually do it. Well folks, that's gonna wrap it up for our look at this Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Helper Spring Kit for your rear axle. I'm Steven, thank you so much for your time. Thanks for watching and stay safe.

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 :)

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! '

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?

Glad we could make it go smoothly for you, Mary! Speaking of smoothly, had you had a chance to try them out yet?

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.

That is great to hear! I am glad after a year you are still liking the setup, and most importantly still bringing that rear end back to level. What are you towing with that F350?
