Note: When servicing your truck with Air Lift air springs installed, if the truck is lifted by the frame, the air must be let out of the springs. And if the rear of the truck is lifted during service, then it must be supported by jack stands to avoid damage to the air springs.
Air Lift's LoadLifter 5000 was designed with an exact purpose: to provide full-time, first-class support to your 1/2-ton, 3/4-ton, or 1-ton pickup. With this kit, you get a safer ride and simultaneously protect your vehicle from the strain that comes with hauling massive loads.
Carrying heavy cargo in your truck bed or trailer puts tremendous stress on your vehicle. Your brakes erode faster, your tires wear unevenly, and handling suffers severely. When towing, you might also experience excessive sway, bottoming out, and even improper and unsafe headlight aim. Fortunately, there is a solution to these problems. By pairing your existing suspension with the LoadLifter 5000, you can seriously beef up your suspension, ensure equal load distribution, and give your vehicle the support it desperately needs. Air Lift's LoadLifter 5000 provides up to 5,000 lbs of load-leveling capacity and distributes the weight of your payload to all 4 wheels. As a result, the stress on your OEM suspension is significantly reduced.
LoadLifter's air bags are adjustable from 5 to 100 psi for precise support, and they can be inflated independently of one another for front-to-rear and side-to-side leveling. They are made of high-quality, 2-ply, fabric-reinforced rubber. Most air bags lose air at the ends, where the bag is enclosed with a steel cap, because the steel can rust and corrode over time, creating small holes. The endcaps on Air Lift air bags are fashioned from corrosion-proof Zytel nylon, a material that is both stronger and lighter than steel, ensuring that the air bags won't lose air. Also, LoadLifter 5000 comes with Air Lift's exclusive roll plates, which both protect your air springs and beef up the load capacity of the springs.
This system installs with the included brackets and hardware. Just mount the springs, inflate them, and ride. To inflate the LoadLifter springs, you just have to pump air in through the inflation valves. A line kit is included with the springs so that you can install the valves (one for each spring) in an easily accessible area - typically they are installed on the bumper. If you want to make the springs even easier to use, you can get a compressor and gauge system (sold separately).
Air Lift kits are designed to keep your vehicle at normal ride height. You can find the normal ride height of your vehicle by unloading it and measuring the distance between the bottom edge of your wheel well and the center of the hub. After you find and record this distance, you can regulate the amount of air that you put into your air springs to maintain normal ride height - even when you are hauling a heavy load. You will need to adjust the air pressure in your air bags according to the size of your load.
Along with a lifetime warranty that has no mileage restrictions, Air Lift offers a 60-day satisfaction guarantee. Just install and use LoadLifter 5000 springs for 60 days, and if you are not satisfied at the end of this time, you can remove them from your vehicle and return them for a full product refund. Now that's confidence.

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.
