Features to know about

Stay Level and Confident Under Load: Up to 5,000-lb Rear-Axle Support

Heavy trailers or bed loads can push your suspension past its limit, making the truck squat and handle poorly. The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate air springs add up to 5,000 lbs of load-leveling capacity to keep things even front to back. By pairing adjustable air bags with built-in jounce springs, they reduce strain on your rear suspension, help maintain headlight aim, and keep steering and braking steady when you’re hauling serious weight.

Smooth Out Rough Roads: Internal Urethane Jounce Springs

When the pavement gets rough or the air pressure isn’t quite enough, the internal jounce springs step in. Each closed-cell urethane jounce acts as an overload spring that absorbs bumps, reduces sway, and minimizes bottoming out. The more weight you add, the stiffer they become, giving you progressive support without the harsh hit of rubber bump stops. Even if air pressure drops, these jounces temporarily carry the load so you can keep moving until you reinflate.

Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate air spring featuring internal urethane jounce spring for added control and comfort

Dial In the Ride You Want: Adjustable Air Pressure from 5 psi to 100 psi

Every haul is different, and this setup lets you tune for it. Run higher pressure when towing heavy and drop to lower pressure when unloaded for a smoother ride. The included manual inflation valves and air lines make it easy to adjust side-to-side or front-to-back leveling. Add an optional compressor system later if you want in-cab control or automatic pressure management.

Built Tough for Years of Use: Reinforced Rubber and Zytel Nylon Endcaps

Durability matters when your suspension takes daily punishment. Each 2-ply fabric-reinforced rubber air spring is protected by Air Lift’s roll plates to guard against damage from moving parts and increase load capacity. High-strength Zytel nylon endcaps are lighter and more corrosion resistant than steel, so the springs hold air tight mile after mile. With quality materials and maintenance-free urethane jounces inside, these springs are built for long service life in heavy-duty use.

Straightforward Installation for DIYers: Everything You Need in the Box

The kit comes with mounting brackets, hardware, air lines, and manual inflation valves so you can install it yourself with basic tools. Just bolt the assemblies in place, run the air lines, inflate through the valves, and start driving with a leveled stance and solid control.

Installation was straightforward although the diagram showing the compressors upright position mounting position was incorrect. I found that you could reverse it on the bracket if needed (which I did). Also note to be careful there are two different Apps (at least on iOS) I initially grabbed the wrong one and it would not connect. I believe the documentation points you to the correct one I just searched and tried to install without reading, so that one's sort of on me.

I was easy to install just a few hours. Everything in the kit fit well. It would be nice if an extension brackets were provided for the brake line/abs wire mounting bars would be included like the brake line adapters that’s provided in the kit is my only recommendation to make it top notch.

Glad to hear the install went smoothly! Thanks for the suggestion on the brake line/ABS brackets too. Definitely something that could make a good kit even better!

Just had them installed, I’ll be hauling a 9800lb travel trailer soon. That will be the real test!
Added 40lbs of air, they sit the rear of truck up nicely.

Works amazing. The install was a little more difficult than it appears… It actually took me and a couple other guys five hours to get it completely installed.
There was a lot of cutting/grinding metal to make pieces fit properly, and had to drop the axel completely… I think that’s only for my gen 2 raptor.
At the end of the day, though I’m very happy with the result

Product works great and helps level the truck during towing. I have noticed a difference in the amount of travel my back wheels have when offloading. But I knew that would be a sacrifice.

Great instructions and easy installation! Fit perfectly! Loaded my tractor to test them out and they completely leveled my sagging truck with 42psi.

Happy to hear these are getting the job done! Your set up looks great, and man! What a beautiful picture. Blue, sunny skies, green grass, a cool breeze (I'd wager) perfect day to hitch up the trailer and get some work done!

Been great! I really don’t like the internal jounce stops though. When you are unloaded and running lower bag pressure, a dip or bump will hit the bump stops really hard and jar your passengers in the backseat. It’s almost too uncomfortable to ride in the backseat now. As for the loaded and high pressure performance it’s great! Great handling and no sag at all when towing.

by:
The truck rides much better now, though I haven’t yet towed with the air bags yet. The bags took out that annoying side to side movement.
Just great!
Easy to install.

That is great to hear, even with some modifications I am glad this is what you were wanting. That truck bed camper set up looks awesome. Do you have any big trips planned this year?

by:
I purchased a set of these airbags for my old truck from etrailer and ran them for 17 years pulling a 42’ fifth wheel without any problems. So there was no hesitation for me to order the same for my new truck. I looked up everything I needed up on the etrailers site and called Josh at etrailer and he verified what I needed and got it on order. Also he verified my onboard compressor would work with the new air bags. Everything was received in a few days as usual. The airbags came with very good instructions and were no trouble to install and installation went quickly and have been preforming great. etrailer is always my go too for my truck and camper parts, also the bonus is if you have any problems or questions you can call etrailer and talk to a real person and get any problems corrected. etrailer for the win.
by:
I did the installation myself with auto ramps and a bottle jack. The instructions were good, however, some of the pictures were dark and hard to see. At 60 PSI and no load the truck rides like it has no shocks so I have been running 10 PSI and it seems to be great. 2015 F250 4x2 ext cab. I drilled the TAG screws and install the air fill ports in there place.

Incredible difference! Even with a weight distribution hitch i couldn’t get my toyhauler and tundra level. The internal jounce alone raised my hitch several inches but with air, Wow! Also note, you CAN keep the RAS helper springs installed. You just have to pry a little when installing the U-bolts.

Good system seems to made very well. I also got the Airlift Compressor as well Would have done 5 stars but the quick mount doesn't fit a 2025 F250 frame. About an inch to small. DIRECTIONS are terrible, pictures are blurry. Had to you tube the install. for that much money a couple of more pages explaining better with clear pictures.
by:
Overall I am very pleased with the LoadLifter 5000. I purchased for a 2017 Tundra 1794 which we pull a 26' travel trailer. Prior to purchase the truck & trailer had a noticeable sag and it was challenging to distribute the weight in the trailer to reduce the sag. With the LL5000 the sag is eliminated with around 40 psi and the overall feel of the truck & trailer was much more solid and less bouncy when going over rough roads. Also, I was able to haul some lumber several times were the load was around 1,700 lbs which was 600 lbs over the stock capacity of the Tundra of 1,100 lbs...this was done with 60 psi. The LL5000 really showed their performance there with no sag with this load. The only reason I give a 4 out of 5 stars is the drive performance when not carrying a load or towing the trailer. Unfortunately the drive is not as smooth as the stock configuration. I've tried adjusting the pressure from 0 psi thru 30 psi in intervals of 5 psi and unfortunately there's some added bumpiness no matter which psi is selected. Overall, at around 10psi that seems to be the best ride but again, not the smoothness of the stock configuration. But if you're needing to eliminate sag with a trailer or boost your haul capacity, the LL5000 will definitely satisfy those needs.

VERY GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION!

I have a 2020 Sierra 1500 AT4. I have the back loaded with a DECKED drawer system full of tools, plus all my gear in tubs for investigating fire scenes. My amazing pickup was nearly riding the bump stops all day. On a bumpy road, it was pretty taxing. Off-road was brutal. After some research I found this kit to fit my AT4 truck, part #88388.

You will need tall jack stands for this project. We ended up bracing ours on the rear leaf spring perches due to exhaust routing.

This is a brand new install, so time will tell as to how it holds up, but I have high expectations. This kit comes with paper instructions that are pretty spot-on. The pictures were helpful, and the instructions are detailed enough for a novice to understand. With one extra set of hands, I installed this kit in about 2 hours. I mounted the single fill valve in my gas-fill area, hidden behind the fuel lid. No bending over to add or release pressure.

After the install, I ran the pressure up to 40 psi as recommended. I got about 2 1/2” of lift out of that. I pulled a trailer home from the shop, and my truck rode like brand new. For my daily cargo, I think 40 pounds is just about perfect. And my tailgate is back at belly button height again. My headlights are shining where they should be shining. My bottomed-out ride is now compliant and comfortable.

The parts seem to be quality, and I had zero fitment issues. The only specialty tool was the T40 TORX tip for removing brackets from the axle front. You need it before you start. This kit is an easy install with a basic 3/8” socket set, a couple box end wrenches, and a couple other basic hand tools. This project should not scare too many people away.

Pro tip: You may think you can do it without taking off the tires. DON’T!! You’ll be pissed off at your truck and anyone nearby. The time savings will be worth it.

Also, the parking brake is on the back axle. Chock the front tires and/or put your rig in 4 low before lifting the back end.

@GwendolynY The trailer was picked up in a pasture and dropped off in another. Both the fetching and delivering were compliant rides. The airbags sure looked small during the install, but they managed my truck and trailer weight with ease and grace. It’s exactly what I hoped for when I purchased this air bag kit. The factory suspension was able to manage the bumps all while NOT having to fumble with the added cargo I pack around. I give this setup an A+ after driving it for a few days. The highway miles are on par with my truck brand new and empty. I’m very pleased with the product on and off road. I’ve dropped the pressure in the bags to 35 for a comparison, but I know there’s a sweet spot at 40 psi for my working conditions.

@BrookeM I used the brackets from my timberon shock springs and modified them to support the 5000. This gave me the proper height, spacing & room that I needed. I then reinstalled the Timberons where my old air springs had been installed. Smooth ride now.

I run an arctic fox 811 on a f350 single wheel, and these have been a game changer, no issues and helps that ride quality with the weight of the truck bed camper in the back. Having the air chucks in the fuel door is a recommendation I would recommend to anyone going without a on board air compressor

I installed these on my Tundra and did the install myself. Easy to install. The video's on the website are helpful as well as searching on youtube for more videos. I use these for towing our travel trailer. They work great for inflating and leveling the truck and trailer. I would buy again if my next truck did not have them installed.

These bags have been great! I installed them, along with the compressor, on my 2024 Tundra. I pull a 6k lb camper and was getting about 3” of squat. I run 45 lbs in them and it reduced the squat to only about 1”. Great price to fix my problem.

etrailer delivered these in four days which was a pleasant surprise. The Load Lifter 5000 were easy to install and all of the parts fit perfectly. The installation instructions were spot on as well. I tried to save a little time by leaving the wheels mounted, that turned out to be a mistake, so I removed the wheels mounted on the second side and saved about 45 minutes. The loadlifters perform exactly how I want. They took all of the sway out of my tundra while hauling my truck camper.

  • Air Bag Kit Recommendation for a 2021 Ford Ranger with In-Bed Deck System and Ladder Rack
    Hey Joe, sweet ride! For the best and most reliable ride quality I actually recommend picking up the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F28ZR. The Air Lift Kit # AL88234 with the internal jounce bumpers can produce a rougher ride, and the Ride-Rite air bags have a better construction which is why I recommend the Firestone over the Air Lift. I also recommend checking out the Air Lift WirelessONE Tank Kit # AL67DQ which will keep the air bags within 3 psi of the setting you choose,...

These air bags have a 5,000 lbs capacity that will level out the rear end of your Ranger when you are towing a trailer or hauling a heavy load in the bed. All mounting brackets and hardware are included for installation. I really like the Firestone airbags because they use a crimp rolled design which is much more durable than the band clamp...
