Note: Designed to work on trucks with a B&W fifth-wheel hitch model 1105 or model 1199R.


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.

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2002 Ford F-250 Short Bed Towing 2020 Grand Design 150 Series
    I checked out the 2020 Grand Design 150 and since it has a tapered nose and an extended pin box plus the fact that your short bed 2002 Ford F-250 is on the longer side you would not need a slider hitch to make tight turns. So you could use a B and W Companion fixed hitch like the part # BWRVK3500 with the rail kit part # BWGNRK1108 which is custom fit for your truck. This will give you what most consider to be the nicest and quietest fifth wheel hitch out there that uses a rail kit that...

  • Will Air Lift AL57291 Fit 2001 Ford F-250 With Gooseneck Hitch
    The # AL57291 is designed to fit if you have the B&W 1199R or 1105. If your gooseneck hitch is one of these discontinued B&W models then the air bags will work with your 2001 Ford F-250. If it is not one of these B&W models you will be unable to use this kit with your truck. If you let me know what gooseneck hitch you have and if it is 2WD or 4WD I can see if a different kit is available that would fit.

  • Are There AirLift Air Bags Compatible with B&W Turnoverball 1108 on 2006 Ford F-350
    I have a solution for you, but there are not AirLift airbags available that will work with your B&W Turnoverball # BWGNRK1108 system on a 2006 Ford F-350. However, there is the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2400 which are similar to the AirLift bags and will give you an air bag system that's compatible with your Turnoverball's brackets. If you also need a compressor system to keep the bags aired up then you can use the Firestone Air Command...

  • Compatibility of Air Lift Air Bags and B&W Gooseneck Hitch 1108 on 2007 Ford F-250 Super Duty
    I do have a solution, but the Air Lift # AL57291 is only compatible with the B&W 1105 and 1199R. These and other Air Lift air bags will not work with the # BWGNRK1108. What you can use instead is the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2400. Even if the Air Lift did fit, I would recommend the Firestone since they have a superior design and will be more reliable. These have the same 5,000 lb load leveling capacity and won't interfere with your B&W hitch once installed. Since you're...

  • Difference Between Air Lift Suspension Kits that Fit 2001 Ford F-250 4x4
    Air Lift does have a number of options for suspension enhancement that fits your 2001 Ford F-250 4x4. A good portion of the reason there are so many fits is that there's some overlap from other vehicle fits they had to make for other vehicles that also happen to fit your truck as well as some of the kits have the internal jounce bumper for more support. So we have the part # AL57215 which has the jounce bumper and does not fit with in-bed hitches. This would be great application for heavy...

    The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57291 is a confirmed fit for your 1999 Ford F-250 and is designed for compatibility with B&W gooseneck hitches. I've attached a video of this installation to assist. This kit will come with the manual inflation valves for adding or removing air pressure. You also may want to consider adding the Air Lift Load Controller II Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Single Path # AL25592. This will give you the ability to...

    Air Lift has an air bag kit that fits your 2003 Ford F-350 that has the B and W Turnoverball gooseneck hitch installed with the # AL57291. This actually fits the F-250 and the F-350 so it would work well for your truck.

  • Recommended Air Lift Rear Axle Air Bag Kits for 2004 Ford F-250
    The Air Lift rear axle air bag kits that fit on the 2004 Ford F-250 can be seen on the linked page. You can click on the filter to select either 2WD or 4WD to then see products compatible with your truck. All are rated for 5000-lbs of load support. Please take note of the Installation Notes and Tech Tips shown for each kit as these indicate any fit limitations. For instance, kit # AL57215 will not fit if the truck has a 5th wheel or gooseneck hitch in the bed. Kit # AL57291 works only...

  • TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs & Receiver For 2004 Ford F-250 Short Bed Truck W/ Air Lift Helper Springs
    Yes, the TorkLift SuperHitch Original Trailer Hitch Receiver # TLF1002 will fit your 2004 Ford F-250 with the 6-3/4' bed. The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57291 you found are designed to fit with the B&W fifth wheel hitch 1105 or 1199R. If you have either of these it will work on your F-250. Otherwise the Air Lift # AL57393 is the correct kit to fit your F-250. I do recommend considering either the Air Lift # AL88291 (for B&W) or Air Lift # AL88390 as these include...

  • Are Replacement Bracket Parts Available For Air Springs On A 2001 Ford F-350
    To be completely honest it's unbelievably more expensive to part together everything you need versus just purchasing new air spring kit, which would have everything needed for installation. The 5318 part number you provided didn't come back to an Air Lift part number but did come back as a Firestone bellow part number 1T17BB2. Both Air Lift and Firestone have also made it much harder to get replacement brackets because they want you to purchase all new kits and have their warranty. I...

  • Air Helper Springs Compatible With B&W 1108 Turnover Ball Hitch on 2004 Ford F250
    AirLift tells me that their # AL57291 LoadLifter 5000 has only been tested with the B&W 1105 or 1199R Turnover Ball hitches, so they couldn't say if the air helper spring kit and your gooseneck hitch would be compatible. Firestone tells us that their # F2550 is compatible with name-brand gooseneck and 5th wheel hitches, including your B&W # BWGNRK1108 Turnover Ball hitch. This is a good thing, because I prefer the way Firestone attaches their air bags to the top and bottom plates using...

  • Fit and Compatibility of Fifth Wheel with Air Lift 5000 Load Lifters on a 2001 Ford F-250 Super Duty
    Depending on which part number your Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 is will determine if the RV store is correct or not. AirLift made special kits to work in combination with the 5th wheels. # AL57393 will fit with fifth wheel and gooseneck hitch. # AL57298 will fit with a Reese fifth wheel # RP30869 you were looking at and the # RP30035 installation kit. # AL57291 will fit on trucks with a B&W fifth wheel hitch 1105 or 1199R. If you could tell me which kit you have I'd be more than happy to...

  • Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for a 2006 Ford F-250 with B and W Gooseneck
    Yes, the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57291 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2006 Ford F-250 with a B and W gooseneck hitch 1105 or 1199R hitch installed in it so it should work very well for you as long as you have one of those hitches. Currently B and W is using the 1108 hitch, part # BWGNRK1108 so if this is the hitch you have it has not been tested. For a suspension system that will work regardless the Timbren part # TFR350SDF would be a...

  • Recommended Air Springs for 2006 Ford F-350 with B&W Gooseneck Hitch Installed
    The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57291 that you referenced are confirmed to fit your 2006 Ford F-350, however they are only compatible with the older B&W Turnoverball hitches 1105 or 1199R. If this is what you have installed on your truck, this system will work perfectly. The air springs feature a 5,000 pound load-leveling capacity and they will do a really nice job of enhancing the rear suspension of your F-350 to better handle the weight of your trailer and cargo.

  • Recommended Air Bags for a 2003 Ford F-350 w/ a B&W Gooseneck Hitch
    I would be happy to! The correct air bag kit for your 2003 Ford F-350 with a B&W gooseneck hitch is the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs item # AL57291. These are custom fit and specifically designed to work with the B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitches item # BWGNRK1108 or item # BWGNRK1108-5W. For an air compressor, I recommend adding the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System item # AL25980EZ. This onboard compressor will allow you to adjust the PSI in your air bags from your...

    I have another option for you, but the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57291 you were looking at for your 2000 Ford F-250 is only designed to work with the two older B&W 5th wheel hitch rails and will not work with the Reese # RP50082-58. Instead I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2550 which will work perfectly with the # RP50082-58 and will offer 5000lbs of load leveling support when towing your 5th wheel...
