Features to know about

Stable Hauls with Heavy Loads: 5,000 lbs Load-Leveling Capability

When your truck's rear end sags with a hefty load, it can lead to poor handling and dangerous driving conditions. The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs deliver up to 5,000 pounds of load-leveling support. They effectively distribute your cargo weight across all four wheels, enhancing steering, braking, and overall stability. This feature is essential for heavy-duty applications, such as towing trailers, boats, or hauling in motor homes.

Custom Fit Ride Quality: Adjustable Air Pressure from 5 to 100 psi

Every haul is unique, with varying weights affecting your vehicle differently. Thanks to the adjustable air pressure range of 5 to 100 psi, these air springs let you tailor the support exactly to your load's specifications. Whether you're carrying an uneven load on a bumpy road or just looking to maintain a comfortable drive, these air springs offer you control right at your fingertips.

Smooth Rides with Improved Road Absorption: Heavy-Duty Rubber Construction

Potholes and rough roads are no match for the LoadLifter 5000. Its air springs are constructed from high-quality, two-ply fabric-reinforced rubber that diminishes sway and absorbs road shock. This material ensures durability and reliability while providing you with a smooth, cushioned drive, regardless of road conditions.

Corrosion Resistance for Longevity: High-Strength Zytel Nylon Endcaps

Traditional steel caps can corrode over time, compromising the integrity of your air springs. The LoadLifter 5000 uses Zytel nylon endcaps, which are lighter, stronger, and more corrosion-resistant than steel. This ensures that your air springs won't lose air, allowing them to maintain their performance over time and extend their life considerably.

Peace of Mind in Installation: Complete Kit with Mounting Hardware

There's nothing more satisfying than a straightforward installation. The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 kit includes all necessary mounting brackets, manual inflation valves, and air lines, making setup as easy as it gets. Whether you're a seasoned DIY-er or a first-timer, this complete package promises an installation without the headaches, getting you on the road with your improved suspension faster.

Freedom on the Road: Side-to-Side and Front-to-Rear Leveling

When dealing with off-center loads or uneven terrains, maintaining balance and control is essential. The LoadLifter 5000's independent inflation system allows you to level your vehicle from side-to-side and front-to-rear, ensuring superior handling and safety no matter what you're hauling. Enjoy a balanced ride that reduces wear on your tires and improves your vehicle's headlight aim for safer nighttime driving.

  • Best Air Lift Air Bags & Compressor For 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4
    The best Air Lift air bags for your 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4 are the 5,000 lb option: - Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57288 The 5,000 lb capacity is the best for your truck because you won't need to come near that capacity, and you'd honestly be overpaying for bags with more capacity as it just won't be needed.

  • Availability Of Replacement Hardware For Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 # AL57288
    I am sorry to say that the hardware for the Air Lift # AL57288 kit is not available separately. The only solution we can offer you would be to buy a whole new kit with air bags, mounting plates and all. It may be possible to source hardware directly from Air Lift. There are quite a few pieces needed for this kit, as you can see from the list below. Otherwise getting a whole new kit will be the only option.

  • Best Way to Get Rid of Squat in 2023 GMC Sierra 4WD
    You can put air bags in your 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 4WD with the mono leaf spring because they install to the side of the spring, so there won't be any interference, and these will definitely be the best way to get rid of squat. What you can use is a kit from Air Lift, with the right one depending on if you have an AT4 model or not: - All Models EXCEPT AT4: Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57288 - AT4 Models ONLY: Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57388 Also,...

  • Difference Between Air Lift Kits that Fit 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4
    This is a great question. All of the Air lift kits you mentioned do fit your 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 with the difference being the part # AL57288 is the standard air bag kit, and the part # AL88288 has internal jounce bumpers to provide additional support.

    The first big difference between all of the Air Lift LoadLifter air springs kits for your 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 LTD 4WD has to do with whether or not you have the Trail Boss model or trucks with the Adaptive Ride Control. Since you didn't mention either of these we can disregard those notes and that leaves us with 3 kits: Kit # AL57288 is the base model unit that comes with standard air bags and lines. Kit # AL88288 is the next step up as it uses standard air bags and lines, but the...

  • Recommended Air Spring Kit For A 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali 4x4
    I do personally prefer Firestone air springs over Air Lift, but for your specific vehicle the Firestone kit available will limit your compatibility with in-bed hitches. I recommend going with the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57288 so that you'll still be able to install and/or use an in-bed hitch. These springs have a 5,000lb capacity to help offset suspension sag and keep your ride height level. If you plan on hauling different loads regularly and need to adjust your...

All three of these will also fit either the 2 wheel drive and 4 wheel drive options for a 2024 GMC Sierra 1500, but there are a few notes and exceptions depending on trim and options.

    The best option to get the perfect mix of support and ride quality when towing or hauling is with air bags since you can adjust the pressure for each load. The air bags I recommend for a 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 is the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57288. The SuoSprings would not do much to provide additional help alongside a weight distribution system and RAS.

  • Differences Between Air Lift Air Bags For a 4WD 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500
    First one reason there are so many kits for your 2021 Chevrolet Silverado is due to the Trail Boss coming with a suspension lift right from the factory. So half the available kits can only be used on the Trail Boss trim level. There are going to be 2 kits that are available. First is the kit I always recommend using the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate. These air bags have internal jounce bumpers which help reduce bounce that you may get from the additional load. The bumpers also help...

  • Recommended Air Spring System for 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500
    I personally prefer the Air Lift # AL57288 over the Firestone # F2609, because of the design of the air bags themselves. The Air Lift bags are constructed using roll plates where the spring meets the mounting bracket. This actually increases the capacity as well as helping to prevent the springs from being damaged. You can use air springs along with a trailer that has weight distribution. Set the air springs as you'd typically have them, and then install and set up the weight distribution...

  • What Helper Springs Do You Recommend for My 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500?

For your rear axle, the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57288 is a great option that will work for both 2-wheel drive and 4-wheel drive options. In addition, the LoadLifter 5000 will allow you to inflate the air bags independently in order to get the levelling you want. The system provides a maximum support capacity of 5,000 pounds.

If you do not have the adaptive ride control you will be able to use either the Air Lift # AL57288 or the upgraded Kit # AL88288 which has the internal jounce springs inside the air spring.

    Since you have a 3 inch lift you're going to want to go with a Firestone Ride Rite kit on your 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 like the # F2609 for two reasons. One being the Firestone bags are best made options out there, and unlike Air Lift Firestone makes a 3 inch spacer with the # F2367 which would be the actual size you need.

If there is a 5" lift on the truck then use the Lift Spacers for Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2373 which work with both Air Lift and Firestone air bags.
