Features to know about

Smooth Ride Every Time: Load-Leveling Capacity Up to 5,000 lbs

Hauling heavy loads can be daunting, especially when it affects your vehicle's handling. The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs give you up to 5,000 lbs of load-leveling capacity, ensuring your truck stays level, even with massive loads. This means improved steering, braking, and overall ride comfort – perfect for those long drives with hefty cargo.

Conquer Uneven Loads: Independent Inflation for Front-to-Rear and Side-to-Side Leveling

Struggling with off-center loads? These air springs allow for manual, independent inflation of each side, giving you precise control over front-to-rear and side-to-side leveling. This feature is a game-changer for loads that aren't perfectly centered, making your drive safer and more stable.

Durability Meets Innovation: High-Strength Zytel Nylon Endcaps

Traditional air springs can often fail at the endcaps due to corrosion from steel components. With LoadLifter 5000, the endcaps are made of Zytel nylon, a material stronger and lighter than steel. This innovative design means no more rust, ensuring your air bags remain leak-free and durable over time.

Effortless Adjustments at Your Fingertips: Optional Wireless Compressor System

Imagine adjusting your air bag pressure from your phone – that's what the optional Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System offers. It lets you modify the PSI without leaving your seat, making those on-the-go adjustments quick and straightforward, no matter where you are.

Safeguard Your Investment: Exclusive Roll Plates & Lifetime Warranty

Peace of mind is invaluable, especially when dealing with vehicle modifications. The LoadLifter 5000 includes Air Lift's exclusive roll plates that protect the air springs and enhance their load capacity. Plus, with a lifetime warranty and a 60-day satisfaction guarantee, you can trust that your investment is secure and reliable.

No Drill, No Hassle: Custom-Fit Installation

Installing aftermarket parts can be a struggle, but not with LoadLifter 5000. The system comes with custom-fit brackets designed to bolt directly to your vehicle without drilling. It's a straightforward, no-hassle setup that means you spend less time in the garage and more time on the road.

  • What Air Lift Spacer to Use with 3" Lifted 2017 Toyota Tacoma
    Hey Kye, thanks for reaching out! Not all lift kits are made equal, so in order to determine what (or if) you need spacers with the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL49DQ you'll need to either reach out to the company that made the lift kit for your 2017 Toyota Tacoma and see how much the distance from the frame to the axle was increased, or you can measure between the mounting points on your Tacoma yourself and see what the difference is. The design height of the air bag...

  • Suspension Enhancement Recommendation 2023 Toyota Tacoma Towing Camper
    Hey Lon, yes the Air Lift LoadLifter part # AL49DQ would be a great option for your 2023 Toyota Tacoma TRD. IT will give you the support you are wanting but since you can easily adjust air pressure you'd also be able to easily tailor the suspension support to what you need as your load changes to balance load support and ride quality. Are you wanting a compressor as well?

  • Replacement Air Bag and Brackets for a Firestone Ride Rite Air Spring Kit for a 2023 Toyota Tacoma
    Hi Rizwan, I'm not seeing anything for Air Lift but I am seeing the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2407. If this is what you meant, then you'd just need the air bag(s) # F6766, and the brackets # F5086, # F2135825491, # F2135825493, # F2135825492, and # F5494. If you already have the brackets though, then you can disregard that part. As far as the control module goes, are you able to let me know what compressor system you're running? The bags by themselves don't have a control...

  • Can Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 kit Fit 2005 Toyota Tacoma with 2 inch Lift
    Since you have a 2 inch lift in the rear of your 2005 Toyota Tacoma you would also need the spacer kit part # AL52420 with the Air Lift Load Lifter 5000 kit part # AL49DQ that fits your truck.

  • Best Compressor For Air Lift Air Bags on 2023 Toyota Tacoma
    We can get your 2023 Toyota Tacoma set up with a compressor to go with the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL49DQ. The best compressor is indeed wireless like you wanted (that was a smart choice as it makes it so much easier to use), and is also from Air Lift: - Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System for Air Helper Springs # AL74000EZ The # AL74000EZ actually has two forms of wireless options - it comes with a remote but is also Bluetooth if you want to use an app on your...

  • Availability of Air Lift Air Bag Kit that Fits 2012 Toyota Tacoma
    Air Lift has air bag suspension enhancement kits that fit your 2012 Toyota Tacoma 4WD like the part # AL49DQ but they do not offer a version that has the internal jounce spring. Some report that the jounce spring versions make the ride quality harsher so it would not be my favorite option to recommend.

  • Recommended Air Bag Kit for a 2013 Toyota Tacoma w/ a 3 Inch Lift
    Yes, it will but you may need a spacer. The reason I say may is most 3" lifts are not 3" in the rear. If your 2013 Toyota Tacoma has less than a 2" lift in the back then all you will need is the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs item # AL49DQ. If it is 2" or more, in the rear end, you will want the Air Lift Universal Air Spring Spacers item # AL52420. I recommend adding the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System item # AL25980 to your truck. This single path onboard compressor...

  • 2023 Toyota Tacoma 4WD Air Bag and Compressor Kit Recommendations
    I highly recommend going with the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL49DQ over their Ride Control system for your 2023 Toyota Tacoma 4WD because they not only offer more support, but they also have a better construction so they'll last longer. For a compressor kit it's really hard to beat the Air Lift WirelessONE # AL25980 since it comes with a remote so you can monitor and adjust your air bag level without having to install a gauge somewhere on your dash. We've installed...

  • Do I Need Suspension Enhancement For My 2020 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road?
    Thanks for reaching out, Kyle. According to the online owner's manual, the 2020 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road has a max towing capacity of 6,500 lbs. So based on this, yes, I think you can definitely tow a 2017 Passport Ultra Lite with a 4,400 lb dry weight. I do suggest that you consider a suspension upgrade though. Once the trailer is loaded you will likely be pushing it closer to its limit for towing. A suspension upgrade will help to keep the ride level and stable. An air bag kit like...

  • Will Air Lift Air Bags For 2021 Toyota Tacoma Withstand Off-Roading
    Hey Alex, those are both really good questions. Let's start with the off-roading at full drop for the Air Lift bags on your 2021 Toyota Tacoma, which are the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL49DQ. When you are off-roading the # AL49DQ will not tear, no. In fact, you can even put your Tacoma on a lift or hoist, for example, and the air bags won't be damaged as they are designed to withstand that type of movement. As for the weight distribution hitch, what you want to do...

  • Looking For Air Bag Kit For 2022 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road With 3" Lift
    Hello Jacob, thanks for reaching out. We do offer air bags that will work on your 2022 Toyota Tacoma TRD off-road with a 3" lift. For that I recommend the Firestone Ride Rite air bags. There are two kits for your truck. The # F2407 is for trucks with the axle located below the leaf spring pack. The # F2410 is for trucks with the axle located above the leaf spring pack, so please check and confirm which one you need. You will also need to use a spacer to compensate for the lift. What you...

  • Why do the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs Cause a Stiff Ride When Unloaded?
    Hello Brad, The reason your Tacoma rides rough after installing the LoadLifter 5000 airbags # AL49DQ is because the airbags add a lot of stiffness to your rear suspension, even at the minimum recommended 5 psi. Airbags are designed to support extra weight, but they also resist compression more than your original leaf springs. This means that even when you aren’t towing, the airbags are still making the suspension much stiffer than it was from the factory. At 5 psi, the airbags are firm...

  • Recommended Air Bags for a 2008 Toyota Tacoma W/ 6" Lift
    For your 2008 Toyota Tacoma, I recommend adding in a set of air bags to help with the sagging. The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL49DQ with the Air Lift Universal Air Spring Spacers for LoadLifter 5000 and 7500XL # AL52460 is what I'd go with. These springs have a nice 5,000 lb capacity which should get rid of all that sagging without sacrificing ride quality. You're also going to need the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System for Air Helper Springs # AL74000EZ as well...

  • Recommended Air Bags for a 2023 Toyota Tacoma w/ a 2" Lift
    Yes, it will but you'll need to add a 2" spacer item # AL52420. The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs item # AL49DQ are confirmed to fit your 2023 Toyota Tacoma and have a 5,000 lbs capacity. The included brackets are custom fit and will bolt into your truck without drilling. I recommend adding the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System item # AL25980 to your truck. This single path onboard compressor will allow you to adjust the PSI in your air bags from your phone.

  • Union Tee Size for Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs
    Hey Stephen, What you're looking for is the Air Lift Union Tee for 1/4" Air Lines # AL21838. This will give you the ability to tie in the air lines from both air bags on the LoadLifter 5000 # AL49DQ into one fill port so they are both even. I'm not sure what airline the LoadLifter prefers, but according to Forbes, Alaskan Airlines is the best ranked in the US for 2024. Hope this helps!

  • Will the Air Lift Air Helper Spring Cradle Work with Air Lift 5,000 for Off Roading 2023 Tacoma?
    Hello Brad, Great question! If you're planning to take your 2023 Toyota Tacoma off-road and you're using the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 kit #AL49DQ, then adding the Air Lift Air Helper Spring Cradle # AL59DQ is a really smart move. These cradles replace the lower mounting brackets of your air springs and are designed to let the bags "float" above the axle. That floating setup allows for full suspension travel and articulation, which is especially important when you're navigating uneven...
