5,000-lb Capacity. Designed to upgrade your rear suspension, LoadLifter 5000 air springs provide high-quality, full-time load support. They level your vehicle, improving braking and ride comfort and reducing the strain on your factory suspension.
Features:
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.

Videos are provided as a guide only. Refer to manufacturer installation instructions and specs for complete information.
Today on our 2001 GMC Sierra 2500 HD, we'll be installing the Air Lift Load Lifter 5000 Air Helper Springs, part number AL57275. Now here's what our vehicle looked like with the manufacturer's suspension and no weight added to the rear of the vehicle. We'll go ahead and take a measurement from the bottom of the wheel well down to the ground. As you can see, we're at 41 inches. Next we're going to go ahead and add approximately 2,700 pounds of weight to the rear of the vehicle. Now with our weight added, you can see it's lowered the rider height from 41 inches to 37 1/2. Next we're going to go ahead and run the vehicle through our test course.
We'll go through our slalom course, sifting the weight from side to side and as you can see, we have quite a bit of body roll and it changes the feel of our steering wheel. Next, we'll go over the alternating bumps. As you can see, we have quite a bit of jounce and rebounds from going over the bumps. Then we have our single bump, which will simulate a speed bump, and again, we have quite a bit of jounce and rebound coming from both sides at the same time. Now, with our air springs installed and aired up to approximately 70 PSI, you can see there, we've only lost a half inch of our ride height and we can put a little more air in our bags or air up our tires where we're losing at least a half inch. We're going to run the vehicle through our test course again, with the weight in the pickup bed.
As we go through the slalom course with our air spring assistance, it really helps control the roll or sway of the vehicle. Additionally, by keeping the vehicle at a level ride height, it allows for a consistent and more responsive feel from our steering wheel. Next we'll go over the alternating bumps. As you can see, with air springs installed, it really helps control the weight as we go over the bumps. Next, let's go ahead and show you how to install the new air bags. Now to begin our install, we're going to start on our workbench, or cart here.
I've got my parts laid out. We're going to take one of our roll plates, turn it over so that the cone side will sit on top of our airbag and the pre-drilled holes in the roll plate will line up with the two attachment points in the top of the airbag and the air fitting. Next, we're going to go ahead and install the air valve into the top of the airbag. You see it's already got pre-installed sealant on the threads, so we've got to be careful not to over tighten it. We'll go ahead and install it finger tight at first and then as per the instructions, go one and a half additional turns. Then we need to install the upper bracket.
There's four slotted holes in the top of the bracket for securing to the airbag. One side is the slot A for the driver's side and one side is B, for the passenger side. As per the instructions, we're going to go ahead and identify them, so that we keep them straight. Driver, passenger. Once we've identified them, we can go ahead and install them. To secure them, we'll used supplied 3/8ths bolt, split lock washer and a flat washer. Line up with the roll plate, the attachment points in the bag and our identified slotted holes. We'll just install our hardware finger tight this time, because we'll need to adjust it along those slotted holes as necessary, once we mount it in the truck. This is for our driver's side, when we're doing the passenger side we just use the other two holes. Next, we're going to go ahead and turn it over, take our second roll plate, line it up with the attachment points and then bring in our bottom bracket. Before we install the bottom bracket onto the roll plate, we have some hardware we need to install. For the driver's side only, we're going to install a 5/16ths bolt and nut on the corner. This will allow us to add an extra bracket to secure the parking brake cable. We're going to install a second bolt and nut. We'll make sure the bolt goes through the bottom of the pre-drilled hole here in the bracket and then the nut goes on top. We're going to go ahead and tighten this fastener down now. Now this fastener doesn't' look like it's going to do much, however, it does act as a spacer between the bottom of our bracket and the top of the axle. Just gives our bottom bracket a little more support. Next, we need to install two of our carriage bolts. They'll go down through the lower plate and then through the square hole at the bottom. Once we install the airbag, we won't be able to get our hardware in place, so we do it now. Next, we'll bring our airbag back in, line up the attachment points of the airbag with the two pre-drilled holes in the lower plate. We'll secure each of these fasteners with the cap headed screw. I'll go ahead and install both fasteners finger tight and then go ahead and run them down and secure them. Using air or even a battery operated tool, I recommend to go back to each fastener and make sure it's good and tight by hand. Now with our pre-assembly of our bag done, we're going to set that aside and go to the truck. On the truck, we need to disassemble or remove the bump stop. To remove it, there are two fasteners, one on each side. There's a nut on top, and over time the threads of the stud that go up through the frame get corroded and built up with rust, dust, dirt and debris so I'm going to spray each one with a spray lubricant before I attempt at removal. Second nut, pull our jounce stop down and you can see the two studs that went up through the frame. We'll go ahead and remove it and set the hardware and jounce stop aside, as they will not reinstalled. Now we're going to go ahead and take some weight off of the frame of the vehicle, lowering the rear suspension, creating more distance between the frame and the axle. By doing this, it will make it easier to get our airbag in place. Now as we set our airbag in place, the lower bracket is going to go around the jump stop bracket on the axle. Rear I'm going to hook the back side, roll it on an angle around to the front side and in place. Once we get our lower bracket in position, we'll then slide the airbag underneath the axle, lining up the attachment points and our upper bracket and the frame, where we removed the jounce bumper. Now I'm going to go ahead and let the vehicle back down onto the axle a little ways, not all the way, just enough to put a little pressure on our air bag. Next we're going to attach the upper bracket to the frame. We'll use the new 3/8ths bolt and a flat washer that will go down through the frame, through our upper airbag and get secured underneath with a flat washer and lock nut. I'll do this on both sides of the upper bracket. Once we have our hardware in place, we're going to slide the upper bracket towards the inner portion of the vehicle as far as possible that the upper bracket slotted holes will allow, then tighten it down. Now as I tighten down the fasteners, I just tighten down the first one a little ways to hold the bracket in place, then I tighten down the second one fully, then I'll go back to the first one and fully tighten it down. Now with my upper bracket secured, I'll move to the lower bracket. Our lower bracket has our carriage bolts that come down either side. Keep in mind when putting your air bracket in place over the jounce stop bracket, not to smash the brake line when putting it in position. We'll also make sure there's enough clearance between the lower bracket and the brake line that they don't rub together. Now we're ready to go ahead and put the lower strap onto our carriage bolts that come through the lower bracket. Each carriage bolt will then get secured with a flat washer and a nylon lock nut. Once we have our hardware in place, we'll go ahead and tighten it down. We'll make sure we tighten it down evenly back to front. Before I completely tighten it down, I'm going to make sure my lower bracket and airbag is lined up with the upper bracket and frame, keeping it as straight up and down as possible. Then once we've got that secured, we'll adjust the airbag to upper bracket as necessary, so that again, we're lined up from the lower bracket to the upper bracket, as straight up and down as possible. Once we have that lined up, we go ahead and tighten down the two bolts. Now with our airbag installed and secured, we need to adjust the parking brake cable that runs over to the passenger side. That's why we put the bolt and nuts here on the front side of the lower bracket, so we can add our parking brake cable bracket. To do that, I'll just remove the nut that we loosely installed, slide the pre-drilled hole onto the nut and then put my nut back on. I'm going to leave it loose until I get my cable clamp in place. Now with my bracket in place, we'll take the cable clamp, put it around the parking brake cable, I'll go ahead and take the bolt, put it through, line it up with the bracket and install the nut. Once we have it in position, we can go ahead and tighten down our hardware. As you can see, it pulls the cable away from our airbag, so that we don't have any interference between the two. Now with the driver's side done, we'll move over to the passenger side and repeat the same process. Now with both airbags installed, we're ready to install and route the air lines and air inflation valves. Starting at the rear of the vehicle, we're going to mount our inflation valves here in the bumper. When selecting a mounting location, it's best to find an area where there's nothing behind it that will interfere with the inflation valve. Here to the driver's side of the license plate bracket is a good location. By using separate inflation valves, one for each bag, it will allow us to air up one side more than the other, if we have an uneven load. Using a small pilot bit, I'm going to go ahead and drill my first hole. We'll get a little space in between the two, I'll drill my second hole. Then we'll go ahead and open up our pilot hole to 5/16ths as per the instructions. Now, starting on the driver's side we'll go ahead and prep the inflation valve to put into our pre-drilled hole. Take a nut, thread it onto the engine inflation valve and this will set the depth as it comes through the bumper. Then I'm going to install a serrated washer and feed the inflation valve from behind the bumper out. We're going to install a rubber flat washer, a metal flat washer and then a second nut. Once I have them installed, I can go ahead and tighten them down. Now I can go ahead and route my air line over towards the driver's side airbag. Now when routing my air line, I like to leave a little extra here in the back for any adjustments that might be needed later. Then just stretching it along the frame where I'll be routing it, I can take it towards the airbag and get an approximate length. I'll use the air line hose cutter, part number AL10530 to get a clean square cut on the line. I'm just going to run it down the frame. Once I have it routed, we can go ahead and install it into the inflation valve. To install in the inflation valve, we'll just simply line it up with the valve, firmly press it into place and then pull back to lock it in position. Then we'll go ahead and use the zip ties provided to secure the rest of our air line. Now once I have my airline fully secured, I'll use my side cutter, cut off the excess from the zip ties to clean up the install look. Now with the driver's side done, I can move over to the passenger side and repeat the same process. Note, here on the passenger side, we're going to install the air line protector that's supplied with the install kit. This will help protect the air line as it comes out of the inflation valve and runs next to the exhaust. Once it's slid onto the air line, we'll put our air line into the inflation valve. Now with both airbags and air lines installed and secured, we need to install the heat shield here on the passenger side. The heat shield will go between the tailpipe and the airbag to protect the airbag from any excess heat. Now to install the heat shield, we'll first take the two tabs, bend it in and then flatten it back out to create the attachment point between the tailpipe and the heat shield. Now with both tabs bent, securing our heat shield to the tailpipe we'll use the worm gear clamp provided. I'm going to go ahead and put the clamp on and take up some of the slack and then we'll get our heat shield in place. I'll slide the tab underneath the clamp, get my heat shield in position and then tighten down the clamp. Repeat the same thing with our second clamp. Now our heat shield is installed. Now with both airbags and air lines installed and secure, next we'll go ahead and put some air into the airbags and test for leaks. We can spray down each of our connection points and check for bubbles. Just like that, we've completed the install, checking and operation of our Air Lift Load Lifter 5000 Air Helper Springs, part number AL57275 on our 2001 GMC Sierra 2500 HD. .

5,000-lb Capacity. Designed to upgrade your rear suspension, LoadLifter 5000 air springs provide high-quality, full-time load support. They level your vehicle, improving braking and ride comfort and reducing the strain on your factory suspension.Finished the install last weekend fairly smoothly. I jacked up one side of the truck at a time since I only had one jack. Had to put the jack on cinder blocks to get it high enough to engage the leaf spring front mount. One comment/suggestion for the installation guide. The only thing I struggled with was the parking brake cable. It was exactly in the way of engaging the bottom bracket to the axle. No matter how I moved the bracket it would not clear the cable. Then the light came on, release the brake dummy! Once the brake was released there was plenty of room to engage the assembly onto the axle. Of course, I did put some chalks on the front tires to keep the truck from rolling while I was underneath... No leaks, and it seems to ride much smoother than before. Thanks for a great product, 104826
I still like the product but it seems to have a slow leak somewhere and will not hold air pressure for a week at the original setting. Guess I need to do a bubble leak test, just have not gotten to it. Other than that the product is great.

Review from a similar Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 in Vehicle Suspension
High quality and heavy duty. Good instructions as well. Just got them installed yesterday on my 2009 F-150 crew cab with 6.5' box. I also have the B&W turnover gooseneck ball hitch and my main concern was still being able to mount these. Fit like a charm, no interference at all. I wish I would have purchased them sooner. Sometimes we haul loads that might be just a bit heavy for an F-150, but we are careful. These will certainly help. I have similar air bag type suspensions install on our other two work trucks and I love them. What I did was got myself a 1/4" compression tee and plumbed both air bags into one valve. That way, they air up evenly. It comes with everything to air up each bag separately but I prefer them to be the same. They cost about $6 at any hardware store. I mounted the single air fill valve near the drivers tail light inside the box facing forward. There is an opening where the tail light harness runs up and I followed that with the air valve. I drilled a hole and snaked a tie wire down and through some finagling I managed to get the valve out the hole and mounted. Looks good and is out of the way. Install took me about 5 hours from tools out to tools away, but I was not in a big hurry. I aired them up to 70 psi and drove home looking like a hot rod with the back kicked up. Checked the air pressure this morning and all is well. No leaks as far as I can tell. Highly recommended and a great price as well. 643462

The Airlift airbags I installed on my 2015 Ford F-150 were easy to install and everything fit as described. I have made several purchases from etrailer.com and am very satisfied with the products they sell and the speed in delivery. 211609
One year later I still like these airbags.My truck rides level and handles smoothly. Without a load, however, its stiff in back and bounces, even with the airbags deflated.
Gilbert T - 07/13/2016Review from a similar Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 in Vehicle Suspension
I have a 2019 Nissan Titan XD with the 5.6 GAS motor. Wanted to do an Airlift suspension to provide a little support and get my headlights perfectly back to level when towing my travel trailer. No one makes an airbag kit for the gas XD, but after discussing it some with John H at etrailer, I decided to go with the kit for the diesel truck and see how things went. The kit for the diesel truck fit perfectly, except that there is an emissions component hung from a bracket on the driver's sign frame that prevents a direct install of the driver's side bag. My shop was able to install the kit with no trouble - they just had to bend the bracket with the small emissions component attached upwards for clearance. Everything else went in as designed. Great fit - can't wait to see it work under load. 669525
Review from a similar Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 in Vehicle Suspension
I have had the air bags installed for over a year now. From the boat ramp, camper and dump trailer these things just work GREAT. I will add a set of these to every truck i owe from now on! So nice to be able to level you truck out regardless it being a large or small load. They truly give your truck a safer ride when towing! 526431
Review from a similar Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 in Vehicle Suspension
Came well packaged, all itsy bitsy parts accounted for. Says no drilling required but you will need a cutting wheel or hacksaw to cut a bolt off. Instructions are pretty good but pictures sometimes don't show exactly what you need to know. My favorite part 2 hrs install. We all know that means at least 4. One more hour and I'll be finished. 426268
Review from a similar Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 in Vehicle Suspension
Have had the air bags installed for 3-4 weeks now. Love them! Huge difference in ride quality when hauling or towing heavy loads. My only criticism is in the design. The left side fit perfect and the bag is perfectly aligned vertically but the right side bag is canted slightly. Almost as if the bottom brackets holes are drilled slightly off. I called the company and was told that up to 15 degrees is acceptable. It just looks as though the bag may wear more but time will tell I guess. I would still recommend. Also looking at purchasing the compressor system to ensure the bags always have adequate pressure. 421216

Review from a similar Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 in Vehicle Suspension
The addition of the Air Lift is by far something I should have done years ago. I was short in time so I had my local Midas shop install them. They work so well. I only needed 20 lbs. of pressure to level the truck and trailer. On the road, the trailer rode better, braking felt better, and the up and down motion I disliked going over bumps is gone. Awesome product for safety while towing. 568497

Great air bags. Install was straightforward and the directions were perfect. Really helps if you have a friend assist. One under the truck and one from the top makes it much faster. 543324

After a year they are still working great...Pulled my 5th wheel, 12,000lbs down to Texas and back to Ontario with no issues at all. 635339
Review from a similar Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 in Vehicle Suspension
About a year ago, I installed this on my 2013 Ram 1500 with the hemi. I pull an enclosed 6x12 trailer with my tools and equipment in it. The trailer has a heavy tongue weight and is driven in city traffic every day. This kit has saved my front tires from wearing any more than they did as well as how easy it is to adjust the height of the truck based on my current load. I recommend it. 295497
Review from a similar Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 in Vehicle Suspension
I haul a 8' truck camper that pops up, it has a app. 1400 # weight to it. I also pull a 17' Lund boat that is loaded with my 2011 Dodge 1500. When I first put the truck camper on the truck before installation of the air bags, my truck squatted 6", basically it bottomed out. But when I put the air bags on, WOW, what a difference it made. Now when I travel down the road, there is no more swaying, or bouncing like it use to do on my Chevey that I use to haul it all with without any air bags. But now I see Dodge these are put on all their trucks. I am SO HAPPY I purchased these, & would recommend them to anyone. I told my neighbor about them & he put a set on his F2500, to pull his 31' 5th wheel, & he loves them. I was 65yrs. young when I purchased & installed these Air Bags, & was a welder for 45yrs.. nut if you have any doubts weather you can put them on. Well relax the video that shows you how to put them on when you purchased them makes it a breeze. I hope this easess your mind if you are in doubt about making the purchase. And the price I believe was more than fare. Good Luck to All, And May GOD RICHLY BLESS ALL WHO CALL ON HIS NAME. 345917

Fast shipping and excellent customer service. Will continue to purchase from etrailer. Took about 8 hrs to install the kit. I'm sure that would have been faster for someone who has done it before but I took my time. The air bags work just as I wanted and the kit appears to be high quality materials. If you purchase a kit take your time installing as it's best to fit and refit a couple times on parts of the kit to ensure everything is going as laid out by the instructions. 72041

Review from a similar Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 in Vehicle Suspension
Installed this kit a month ago and used it three times pulling my travel trailer. Works as described and has performed as I expected it to. I have a GMC 1500 and no matter if I have my travel trailer with a 600lb tongue weight or 6'x10' single axle trailer with a 160lb tongue weight, with load of course, my truck would squat in the back. I already added a sway control/weight distribution system and now wanted to get my truck in the right configuration while pulling. For safety and performance. After reading a lot of reviews I chose this kit. This kit was easy to install but did take 3 or 4 hours. I wasn't in a rush and wanted to make sure I followed everything in the instructions and not miss anything. I didn't want to rush through it to miss a critical step and then lose brake fluid due to a hole in a brake line. Mainly didn't want to break anything important nor did I want to puncture the air lifts or the poly lines. Kit went on as expected and fit perfectly. The instructions included pictures and examples to follow that illustrate how everything fits and where everything should be routed. I would definitely buy again. 589432

The product was delivered in a perfect condition and as scheduled. Very simple installation for 2016 Ford F150. The Ride with 5 lbs is better than the factory ride. I thought it would be a rough based on what others said. The rear height did get raised by 1/2" at 5 lbs. With a good bicycle pump it took 4 pumps to get to 20 lbs., that's much better than getting out the the compressor. 485152

This was an airbag install that took me about 4 hours. I did this in my garage with a minimum of tools. I did end up about an inch higher bed height even with empty airbags and no weight on the vehicle but this may come down with use. The shipping from etrailer was fast and the sales agents have firm grasp of their products and installation procedures. I can always get a straight answer from them. I also ordered the curt under bed gooseneck hitch. This took me about 8 hours to install but I was in no hurry and wanted it done right. Thanks etrailer for great service. 491845

I ordered the Air Lift 5000 from etrailer and I was very pleased with doing business with them. I normally order parts from someplace else but I will be using etrailer for all my future needs. The part was delivered on time and etrailer helped me make the right choice for my needs. Helpful, knowledgeable, timely, and provided the right part for the job; 5 stars from me for that. Now onto the Air Lift 5000. I was amazed at how detailed the instructions were. They made it extremely easy to follow the instructions while building the assemblies. Probably one of the easiest part assemblies I have ever put on a truck and definitely the most detailed instructions I have ever seen. Everything bolted directly to stock mounts on the frame and no drilling was required. After getting everything mounted to the truck and installing the air lines, I was a little skeptical about the air line connections and I was afraid of leaks. I filled both air lines to 60 PSI after the install and when I checked the pressure this morning, I was still at 60 PSI. The last thing I will cover is the ride. I have not towed my trailer yet but I am excited for when I do. I dropped the air pressure to 7 PSI this morning and took a 30 mile drive. The difference this part has made is unbelievable. It still rides like a truck but it is much stiffer in the back now when driving on rough roads which adds a huge difference to the ride quality. I can only imagine the difference I will experience when towing my 12k trailer. Overall, I could not be more happy with my purchase. etrailer has 5 star customer service and they sold me a 5 star part. 484223

The product arrive in a timely matter as with everything that I have purchased from e-trailer , the only problem I had was there were some lock nuts missing from the package , 2 pouches were opened when I opened the box , [ this was from the factory not e-trailer fought ] the photo's in the installation booklet could have been a little clearer , my truck has sway bars and none of the photo's showed them that I could see and the installation book didn't talk about them , Had to figure it out on my own . Other than that no problems , took about 4 hours to install , a 4 point drive on lift would be a great help , also remove the spare tire , it helps 513733

Air lift suspension is still working great after a year. Had a couple of minor air leaks at first but no problems after I fixed them. Good quality product.

The air bags went in great, and pretty easy. I did not like the recommended location for the air valves. So I put them through the body panels to have them inside the back doors. They work great like that. I just put in a 7/16” grommet in the panel to run the air line through the outside panel. Works great and easy to fill with air. 544314

Previously installed Firestone air helper springs in my Ford F250. Wish I would have ordered them instead of the Air Lift helper springs. While quality of Air Lift appears to be good, installation compared to installing the Firestone system is a real bear. Firestone easily as good quality and much simpler/easier to install. 99455

Extremely easy to install. Once I got the technique down on the first one, the second bag went in very quickly. 135113

I installed the product yesterday. It took 6 hours working alone including a trip to the village to buy a new corded electric drill. Installation required drilling 8 holes in the frame and 4 holes in the upper brackets. Anyone attempting this installation be wary of the brake line and wiring harness behind the driver side frame. My impression is that the kit is good quality and should provide excellent service. I am anxious to hook up the travel trailer and put this system to the test. 718962
