Features to know about

Eliminate Rear-End Sag: Air Spring Load-Leveling Support

When you're hauling a heavy load, the last thing you want is your vehicle sagging at the back, compromising ride quality and safety. Enter the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs, providing up to 5,000 lbs of load-leveling support. They're designed to keep your vehicle level front to rear, ensuring your ride is smooth and your headlights aim correctly, no matter the load.

Improve Driving Dynamics: Adjustable Air Springs for Customizable Ride

Whether you're towing or just cruising, the handling of your truck can dramatically affect your driving experience. These air springs let you inflate each bag independently with adjustable air pressure from 5 psi to 100 psi, allowing for side-to-side leveling of off-center loads. Enhance steering and braking performance and reduce sway with this versatile suspension upgrade.

Protect and Extend Vehicle Life: Enhanced Suspension Rebalancing

Carrying heavy loads can wear out brakes and tires quickly, but the LoadLifter 5000 reduces strain on your vehicle's original suspension system. By distributing weight evenly across all four wheels, you mitigate stress-induced wear and tear, boosting your truck's longevity and reliability.

Ride Quality Revolution: Innovative Zytel Nylon Endcaps

Durability is key when modifying your vehicle's suspension. Unlike traditional steel endcaps, which can rust and corrode, LoadLifter's air springs feature corrosion-proof Zytel nylon endcaps. This lightweight yet strong material ensures the air bags maintain pressure without leakage, giving you a dependable lift every time.

Strong and Resilient Construction: 2-Ply Fabric-Reinforced Rubber

Built to withstand demanding conditions, these air springs are constructed from two-ply, fabric-reinforced rubber. Combined with protective roll plates exclusive to Air Lift, your air spring kit is fortified against damage, increasing load capacity and extending the life of your suspension system.

Hassle-Free Installation: Comes Complete with Essential Hardware

Simplifying the setup process, this kit includes all necessary mounting brackets and hardware for installation. Just mount the springs, inflate via the easy-access manual inflation valves, and you're ready to roll. There's even an option to add an in-cab compressor system for enhanced air pressure control, sold separately for those wanting a hands-off approach.

  • Air Lift LoadLifter Air Bag Helper Springs For a 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4
    Air lift offers their basic LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57388 and the Ultimate Springs # AL88388 which fit your 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4. I would recommend installing the Ultimate system as they include the internal jounce bumpers inside the air springs. These greatly help to reduce bouncing when towing heavy loads and they can also work to protect the air springs from being pinched should you have a sudden deflation. The Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System # AL74000 will...

  • Air Bag Kit For 2024 GMC 1500 4x4 With Adaptive Ride Control
    Hey Philip, thanks for reaching out. The Airlift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57388 are a confirmed fit for a 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 4x4 with adaptive ride control. We have had several of our own customers report back to us that this kit does fit models with adaptive ride control, so we know it will work. This will go a long way to help eliminate any/all squatting and keep everything at the stock ride height. It is a good idea to add an onboard compressor system. For that I recommend...

  • Do I Need Air Lift Spacer For 1" Rear Lift On 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4X?
    Hello Eric, thanks for reaching out. Since you only installed a 1" lift on the rear of your 2024 GMC 1500 AT4X, you should not need an additional spacer. In order to confirm this, you will need to measure the distance between the two air bag brackets once installed and then subtract the height of the air bag. If the difference is 1" or less you will not need a spacer. If the gap is more than 1" you will want to add the spacers part # AL52420.

  • Are There Different Air Spring Fitments Between 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali And Standard Models
    For air springs there isn't a differentiation between Denali and and standard models on the 2021 GMC Sierra 1500.

The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57388 you were looking at is confirmed to work with 4WD models, AT4 Models, is in-bed hitch compatible but will require drilling into the frame if you have fifth wheel hitch mounting...

    Hi Danny; I'm sorry to say that the air bags you purchased for your old truck won't fit the 2024 Silverado 1500 ZR2. The ZR2 needs a specific set of air bags which is the # AL88388 if you want them with the internal jounce bumper like the set you already have. If you want them without the jounce bumper you can use the # AL57388.

  • Recommended Suspension Upgrade for a 2025 Silverado 1500 Trailboss
    Hey James, congrats on the new truck. The Timbren's need quite a bit of tongue weight on them to be helpful when towing, so what you're running into isn't too surprising. The only SumoSprings I have for a 2025 Silverado 1500 are item # SS45FR and they are not compatible with the Trailboss model. I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs item # AL57388. These air bags have a 5,000 lbs capacity and will definitely soften that bouncing issue you're encountering. They are...

  • Troubleshooting Front Axle Weight Not Changing with Boat Loaded Up
    Hey Jim, thanks for reaching out! That does sound pretty weird, but it could be how the boat was loaded, if the axle(s) are in a position to share the load, and how much tongue weight was added to the trailer. Also, did you have the trailer leveled out when you were measuring the front axle weight? Basically, the only way I can see the front axle weight not changing at all is if something bad is going on with your suspension.
