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.

  • Will the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs Fit on a 1990 GMC K1500 Diesel
    The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs will fit on your 1990 GMC K1500 truck, but to determine which kit will work for you, we will need to know the distance from the bottom of your frame rail to the top of the jounce bumper strike plate on the axle (see photo). The LoadLifter springs mount between the frame rail and the axle. If the distance from the bottom of the frame rail to the top of the jounce bumper strike plate is less than or equal to 7.25 inches, then you will want...

  • Rear Suspension Enhancement Recommendation For 1996 GMC K2500 With Truck Camper
    The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TGMRCK25 are the correct fitment for your 1996 GMC K2500 Pickup. These provide up to 6,000lbs of support to your suspension components. They may help to level your vehicle but as they are designed to only provide support when there is additional weight on your suspension. Without additional weight they typically have around 1" of clearance to the axle. You will not loose any suspension travel and the Timbrens will help to absorb road shock...

  • Recommended Air Helper Spring System for 2000 Chevy Sliverado
    The 2000 model year was a split model year for GM trucks. Chevy produced two distinct truck models, the C/K series and the Silverado. If you have a 2000 Silverado, the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 system you'd already looked at, part # AL57272 would be an excellent choice. An air bag system like this would allow you to fine tune the amount of suspension support to the weight of the load you're towing or hauling. This is a no-drill application. If your 2000 Chevy truck is a C/K series, you'd...

  • Air Bag Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for a 1993 Chevy 3500 Dually Lowered 4 Inches
    Since your 1993 Chevrolet 3500 Dually has been lowered approximately 4 inches, you will need to use the Air Lift SlamAir Air Helper Springs for Lowered Trucks, # AL59202.

Keep in mind that these air helper springs will not increase your trucks weight carrying capacity, but will help your suspension,...
