Specs:
Air Lift's LoadLifter 5000 was designed with an exact purpose: to provide full-time, first-class support to your 3/4- or 1-ton pickup, motor home, or commercial truck. 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 pounds of load-leveling capacity and distributes the weight of your payload to all four 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, two-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.

Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at this Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Spring Kit for your rear axle. Now, this kit has been designed to fit your 2019 and newer Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 with the four-wheel drive. And on custom fit parts, I do recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. Simply input the year, make, and model of your vehicle, and our fit guide will confirm if this kit will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you. So with this kit, you're going to get a safer ride, while at the same time protecting your Sprinter from the strain that comes from hauling heavy loads.
Now, as you know, carrying heavy cargo can put tremendous stress on your Sprinter, your brakes erode faster, your tires wear unevenly, and handling will suffer very severely. Now, when towing, you might experience excessive sway, bottoming out, or even improper or unsafe headlight aim. So by pairing your existing suspension with this LoadLifter 5000 Kit, you can seriously beef up your suspension and ensure equal load distribution, and give your Sprinter the support that it desperately needs when hauling heavy loads. These air helper springs are going to give you up to 5,000 pounds of load-leveling capacity, and it's going to distribute the weight of your payload to all four wheels. And as a result, the stress on your OEM suspension is going to be significantly reduced.
Now, taking a slightly closer look here, these air bags are made here in the USA of high-quality, two-ply, fabric-reinforced rubber. Most air bags lose air at the ends where the air bag is enclosed with the steel cap, because the steel can rust and corrode over time, creating small holes. That's why some of those other air bags will lose air. But the end caps on these Air Lift air bags are fashioned from corrosion-proof Zytel nylon. That's a material that is both stronger and lighter than steel, ensuring that these air bags will not lose air over time.
Also, these springs come with Air Lift's exclusive roll plates that you see here. And as you can see, I do have them kind of loosely assembled, just to kinda give you an idea of what the installed product is going to look like on your vehicle. But here, we do have our roll plates here. They're gonna protect both your air springs and beef up the load capacity of the springs. The springs are adjustable from 5 to 100 psi, giving you precise support.
They can be inflated independently of one another for front-to-rear or side-to-side leveling. Everything that you see laid out here on my table is going to be included in this kit. It includes the custom mounting brackets, again, that I have kind of loosely assembled to the springs, all the hardware that you're going to need to install it, some of the hardware I'm using here to hold the brackets onto the spacers and to the springs. You're gonna get manual inflation valves, the air line is included. The manual valves are typically gonna be mounted on the bumper for easy access. And this also includes instructions to guide you through the installation process. Now, you can also get compressor systems with in-cab gauges that can be added to monitor and automatically adjust the air pressure. Those items we do sell separately on our website here at etrailer.com, but you can find them under the related products section on this product page. Now, the load-leveling capacity is 5,000 pounds, as I mentioned. But it's important to note that these air helper springs do not actually increase your Sprinter's weight carrying capacity. So you wanna make sure that you're not exceeding your manufacturer's recommended weight limit. And these do have a lifetime warranty from Air Lift. Well, I think that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that our brief time together was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
