When the rear end squats under a trailer or full bed load, steering and braking can feel light. The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate adds up to 5,000 lbs of load-leveling capacity on the rear axle so your truck stays level even when towing or hauling heavy cargo. By keeping the stance right, you maintain confident control, stable braking, and proper headlight aim no matter what’s in tow.
A sudden air pressure loss doesn’t have to leave you stranded. Each LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate air spring has internal urethane jounce bumpers that take over when air is low. They absorb shock and prevent bottoming out, getting progressively firmer as the load increases. That extra safeguard keeps your suspension protected and your ride smoother through bumps or rough pavement.
Every haul is different, and this setup lets you tune for it. Each air bag can be inflated anywhere from 5 psi to 100 psi so you can firm things up when loaded or soften them for daily driving. The two sides can even be adjusted independently to even out an off-center or uneven load. It’s a simple way to keep your truck level and handling right whether you’re towing a camper or carrying gear in the bed.
The LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate is made for years of real work. The air bags use 2-ply, fabric-reinforced rubber for strength and flexibility, while corrosion-proof Zytel nylon endcaps replace metal so rust can’t creep in. That durable combo cuts down on air leaks and keeps performance consistent over time, giving you dependable support through weather, salt, and long miles on the road.

Hi everyone. Steven here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look together at the Airlift LoadLifter 5,000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with included internal jounce bumpers for your rear axle. Now folks, these are a custom fit. They're gonna fit a 2024 through 2026 GMC Sierra or Chevy Silverado, the 2,500 series four wheel drive models. So folks, make sure you're double checking that with our fit guide here at etrailer.com or reach out to us if you have questions.
Keep in mind, sometimes these videos could become outdated and it could potentially fit newer year makes and models as well. Now folks, again, custom fit for your vehicle. It's gonna mount to your existing attachment points, 5,000 pounds capacity of suspension support for the rear. So when you're towing and you're load carrying maybe a camper or something, a lot of times whenever you're set up you can get squat in the back and it's pointing your headlights up to the top of the earth and those kind of things. So pushing your back end back level is gonna push those headlights down, put traction back on the front of your vehicle that you're towing with, giving you a more safe, stable environment.
So this is also a hybrid spring system, meaning it combines the air pressure along with the internal jump so you can't see it, it's inside the bag when they build it, but basically it's an internal jounce. So this spring can never compress all the way flat and that's gonna help you if God forbid, you have like a faulty bag or something like that. Anytime it's gonna have at least some suspension still there helping that out. It's also gonna reduce sag, enhancing your braking, steering, and turning performance when you're going into turns with your load. So everything here is included.
You have the airlines, those will hook up to the airline valve up here on the bag. And then of course you have your shrader valves already built in with the caps. You have a heat plate heat shield for your exhaust on the side that that comes off of. And then you have all these U bolts and bolts and hardware for putting all this together. Now I have everything here just kind of loosely put together.
Do not look at this and say, oh, that's how it's supposed to be. Make sure you follow the instructions, make sure you put everything exactly where you need to. From what I read with the instructions, some of this hardware can be used this way or inverted on the bottom of these plates here. So depending on your specific vehicle and what you have when you're under there, it could vary and you may not even use all of the hardware either. So again, check the instructions, make sure you're following those instructions very, very clearly. So again, these bags are a nice option for you. Again, if you wanna reduce sag, get your headlights back where they need to be, rated at 5,000 pounds capacity, you can adjust the air pressure in the bags between five PSI all the way up to 100 PSI. Well folks, that is gonna wrap it up for our quick look together at this air lift load lifter 5,000 air helper spring with internal jounce bumpers. Again, I'm Steven. Thanks for watching and again, reach out to us if you have any questions. Have a good one.

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!

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.

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.

Install looks fantastic Lloyd! Glad to hear they helped with the side to side movement. What kind of trailer are you going to be towing with the new set-up? Fun camper, work trailer?

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?

Wow, Brian. Thanks so much for your in depth review and experience with installing the air bags. You gave some really solid tips and advice, especially the one about removing the tires. How's the ride now when you're off road?

What all did you end up having to do to the brackets to get them to fit, if you don't mind sharing?

Wow that's great, Slater :) Did you get the travel trailer a year ago too, or have you had it for a while? Any recommended destinations for your viewers at home?

Glad to hear you are keeping air in there when not in use Bradley! Are you always going to the same place on those 700 mile trips?
Do you have a question about this Vehicle Suspension?

Our return policy does state than once an item is installed and or used, it cannot be returned. If something is defective, that would be a different story. I know this sucks, but I think I have a potential way to not need to return it. That minimum 5 psi is for bags that do not have an internal jounce. The # AL28FF you ordered does have the internal jounce, so you can actually run these at 0 psi and it will not hurt them. I think that is why Air Lift said they wouldn't raise the ride hide after being installed. Do you also keep a lot of things in your bed? 1.5" of lift at 5 psi is surprising with suspension that is not starting to wear.
