Video Transcript for Review of Air Lift Vehicle Suspension - LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs Rear Axle - AL56FF

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.
