Features to know about

Effortlessly Manage Heavy Loads: 5,000 lbs Load-Leveling Capacity

When it comes to hauling, the strain on your vehicle's suspension can be daunting. The LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs make it easier by providing up to 5,000 pounds of load-leveling support. Your vehicle remains stable and safe, even with the heaviest loads, which means improved steering, braking, and ride quality.

Stay Even on Every Drive: Adjustable Air Pressure

Finding your truck leaning to one side with off-center loads? Not anymore. With the LoadLifter 5000's adjustable air pressure range from 5 psi to 100 psi, you can inflate each air spring independently. This feature ensures a perfectly even distribution of weight, allowing for smooth side-to-side and front-to-back leveling.

Lincoln-Ride Smoothness: High-Quality Fabric-Reinforced Rubber Construction

Hit those bumpy roads knowing you're equipped with air springs crafted from two-ply, fabric-reinforced rubber. This high-quality material diminishes sway, absorbs road shock, and extends the life of your air spring suspension, delivering that desired smooth, cushioned ride no matter the terrain.

Corrosion-Resistant Design: Zytel Nylon Endcaps

Bid farewell to rust and corrosion! Unlike typical steel-capped air bags that degrade over time, the LoadLifter has endcaps made from high-strength Zytel nylon. This lighter and more robust material provides superior resistance to corrosion, ensuring your air springs maintain integrity and longevity through various driving conditions.

Enhanced Load Capacity: Exclusive Roll Plates

Worried about overloading? The LoadLifter 5000 comes with innovative roll plates that increase your air spring's load capacity and offer added protection from potential damage. You can confidently tackle those hefty hauls knowing your suspension can handle the pressure.

DIY Installation Made Simple: No Drill Needed, Hardware Included

Don't fret over a complicated setup. Installation is straightforward with the included mounting brackets and hardware—no drilling is required. Simply mount, inflate, and go, making this a practical upgrade for every DIY enthusiast looking to bolster vehicle performance without extensive modifications.

  • How To Remove the Air Line From the Air Lift Union T-Piece Part # AL21838
    Keeping the airbags at the 5 psi minimum while not in use will allow the bags to retain their shape properly and not end up folded over or in any other position that might cause a portion of the bag to wear out prematurely. I am curious as to how you are measuring the amount of air in the airbags. I would also like to see a photo of the airbags installed and inflated to 5 psi while on your truck. If you can provide me with this information I may be able to provide further advice.

  • Spacer Kit to Be Used with Air Lift Suspension Enhancement for 2013 GMC Sierra with 2 inch Lift
    If the lift you installed added height to the suspension between the frame and the axle you would need a 2 inch spacer when installing the part # AL57204 with the part # AL52420 which will take up the extra space created. Since you asked where it installs I attached a picture that shows how it installs on a truck like yours. I also attached an install video for you to check out too.

    Hey Joe, yes we have the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 part # AL57204 that fits your 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 and is also compatible with in-bed hitches like the Curt gooseneck part # C615-632.

  • Difference Between Timbren And SuperSprings Suspension Stabilizer For 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 4WD
    So the difference between the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TGMRCK15S and SuperSprings Custom Suspension Stabilizer and Sway Control Kit # SSA28 are the benefits they offer and what you are looking to get out of an enhancement system. The Timbrens # TGMRCK15S are jounce springs and how they work is simple but effective. When you have additional weight at the rear of your truck, like when towing, it will sag, causing the front of the truck to rise. This causes your front...

  • Air Suspension for 5th Wheel Towing with a 2007 GMC Sierra 1500 4X4
    The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2430 are not compatible with an in-bed hitch like what you have for 5th wheel towing with your 2007 GMC Sierra 1500 4X4, but I do have some other air suspension solutions from Air Lift for you. If you occasionally tow your 5th wheel with your GMC Sierra then you need the kit # AL57204 for a bed shorter than 8' (won't fit with a B&W 5th wheel hitch ) or kit # AL57211 for an 8' bed. If you tow your 5th wheel pretty often then you need kit # AL88204...

What you'll need are air bags from Air Lift: - Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57204 These are designed to be used with an in-bed hitch, and the directions (linked below) actually have specifics for installing them in a truck with an in-bed hitch.

  • Recommended Rear Suspension Enhancement for 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 with 2 Inch Lift
    For your 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 with the 2 inch lift I recommend the Air Lift LoadLIfter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57204 because of their superior mounting brackets. The brackets feature unique upper and lower roll plates to both increase the spring capacity and also protect them from damage, resulting in a longer lifespan. This system will provide the rear suspension of your Silverado 1500 with 5,000 pounds of load-leveling support and the air springs can be adjusted (5 psi to 100...

    The B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit needed for your 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 will depend on the bed size. The B&W Turnoverball # BWGNRK1007 will fit 8 foot bed and the # BWGNRK1057 will fit a 6-1/2 foot bed. With either hitch option, there are bed size specific air spring options. For a 6-1/2 foot bed, I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57204 and for an 8 foot bed I recommend # AL57211. With these options drilling...

  • Airlift Kit Compatible with 5th Wheel Brackets on 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500
    Airlift does offer LoadLifter air bag kits that are compatible with the 5th wheel brackets already installed on your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, but the air bags that fit your previous 2015 Silverado 3500 are different enough that they are not a fit for your 2018 half ton. As long as your truck doesn't have the MagneRide suspension, I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Springs with Internal Bumpers part # AL88204 (if you have a 5 ft.9 or 6 ft. 6 bed), or the Air Lift...

  • Will Airbags Work with a Gooseneck Hitch on a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
    I do have an airbag kit and gooseneck hitch that will work with one another on your 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 but the Air Lift Ride Control Air Helper Springs part # AL59565 is not compatible with an in-bed hitch. Instead you will want to use a different set of airbags that will allow for the use of a gooseneck hitch like the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57204 for 5-1/2' and 6-1/2' beds or part # AL57211 for 8' beds. The above LoadLifter 5000 system will then...

  • What Airbags Will Work with 5th Wheel Brackets on a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
    The concerns you have are valid as the airbag kit you have now will not work with the frame brackets for a 5th wheel hitch. If you wanted to install a 5th wheel hitch on your truck and still use airbags you would need to use the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57204 instead as they mount on the bottom of the frame rail and will allow for use with the frame brackets for a 5th wheel hitch. I have attached an install video of the above airbags for you as well.

    For your 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57204 if you do not have an 8 foot bed. For an 8 foot bed, you will instead use # AL57211. These will provide your Silverado with up to 5,000 pounds of load-leveling support and help to reduce strain on its rear suspension. You can manually adjust the air pressure in order to get an even load distribution. Each spring can be inflated independently for side-to-side leveling of off-center...

  • 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Install Bracket Kit and Air Bag Kit to Work Together on a 2016 Chevy 1500
    The fifth wheel install bracket kit you referenced, part # RP50082-58, is for Ford trucks and doesn't fit your 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 short bed. For your truck you need part # RP50064-58. Unfortunately, the Firestone helper springs, part # F2430, are not confirmed to fit with fifth wheel brackets. Instead I recommend using Air Lift helper springs, part # AL57204, which will work. Although you may need to do some drilling to install both parts.

  • Are AirLift Airbags Compatible with lifted Trucks
    Yes the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57204 can be used with lifted trucks. You just need to add in the appropriate spacer. There are two choices to pick from either the Air Lift Universal Air Spring Spacers for LoadLifter 5000 and 7500XL for 2" Lifts part # AL52420 or part # AL52440 for a 4" lift. It sounds like the later is going to be the route to go for you but with out knowing exactly what inch lift you have I can't guide you to one or the other. I have linked...

  • Why Doesnt The Firestone Kit Fit Silverado High Country and Which Air Bag Kit Does Fit
    There are air bags that fit the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 High Country but the Firestone Air Bag Kit part # F2430 does not install on the High Country model. I contacted Firestone and this particular air bag kit does not fit because the High Country sits up too high. He could not guarantee that the bags would install even with smaller wheels. The Air Lift LoadLifter part # AL57204 does install on the High Country model and helps to level out the rear of the truck. The leveling kit...

  • Comparing Air Lift LoadLifter and Ride Control Air Helper Springs for a 2016 GMC Sierra 1500
    The most popular air bag kit for a 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 is the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57204 which is what I recommend using. The Air Lift Ride Control Air Helper Springs part # AL59565 are very light duty and not worth it in my mind when you can get the LoadLifter air helper springs for a bit more. The pressure is adjustable so even for light loads there is no benefit.

    Between SumoSprings and Air Bags, I recommend going with a set of Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 air bags. They offer better all around support and are adjustable. There are two options for your truck depending on what length bed you have. Both options are compatible with in bed hitches and work with 4WD trucks. With 8' Bed - Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs item # AL57211 Without 8' Bed - Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs item # AL57204 These springs have a 5,000 lbs...

  • Do Air Helper Springs Increase Truck's Payload Capacity
    Air helper spring kits like # AL57204 for the short bed or # AL57211 for the long bed provide up to 5000 lbs of support, but WILL NOT increase the payload capacity of the truck. None of the suspension enhancement products we offer will increase the truck's weight carrying capacity, they'll only provide leveling.

The Air Lift Load Lifter 5000, part # AL57204 is compatible with 5th wheel and gooseneck hitches, as confirmed by Air Lift. You might also be interested in an on-board compressor kit like # AL25856. With the compressor kit, you'll be able to add or remove pressure from the system as you're rolling down the road with just the push of a button. I've linked to installation videos...

  • Air Line Hose Removal From Air Line Fittings on Air Lift Air Bag System Compressor
    To remove the air line you will need to push in on the air fitting ring and then pulling out the air line. The air fitting acts similar to a Chinese finger trap. It will clamp on the air line when attempting to pull from the fitting if you do not hold the fitting in on itself. If the line is damaged you can replace it with the Air Lift 1/4" Synflex Air Line Tubing # AL73RV.

  • Will the RoadActive Suspension Work With Timbrens On a 2015 Chevy Silverado
    Yes, the RoadActive Suspension (RAS) Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit part # RAS54FR which is a fit for a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 will help to reduce sag, sway, and bouncing while towing. It can be used in conjunction with the Timbrens as well if needed. The Timbrens are great to reduce sag but they only engage when the threshold of the suspension is reached so there will still be some sag no matter what. They can also be rather bouncy. The RAS engage immediately so they will hep...

  • What Airbag Kit Will Work For My 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 Limited With A 5th Wheel Hitch?"
    Hey Mark, The product you asked the question on was a Reese 5th wheel installation kit so I am not sure which exact airbags you were referring to. For your vehicle though with a 5th wheel hitch I recommend the Air Lift # AL57204 airbags. These have a 5,00lb load leveling capacity and are great for vehicles with an in bed hitch. I will note that it does not fit that 1500 with an 8 foot bed so double check your bed size to make sure. What size bed does your truck have?

That said, it does look like the axle brackets on the leaf spring kit would be pretty close to the air bags so you may have to do some adjusting.
