Features to know about

Level and Stabilize Heavy Loads: Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Springs

When you're towing or hauling heavy loads, maintaining a level ride is crucial for safety and comfort. The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 provides up to 5,000 lbs of load-leveling support, effectively reducing rear suspension strain. These air springs are perfect for heavy-duty applications such as pickup trucks, motor homes, and commercial vehicles, preventing sagging and ensuring even weight distribution across all four wheels for improved braking, steering, and a smooth ride.

Customize Your Ride: Adjustable Air Pressure System

Tailor your suspension to your load with the adjustable air pressure feature, ranging from 5 to 100 psi. Inflate each spring independently to achieve precise side-to-side or front-to-rear leveling. Whether you're carrying a light load or something exceptionally heavy, this flexibility ensures optimal handling and comfort during your drive.

Durable and Reliable Construction: Fabric-Reinforced Rubber and Zytel Nylon

Made from high-quality, 2-ply fabric-reinforced rubber, these air springs are built to last. The end caps are constructed from Zytel nylon, a high-strength material that's lighter and more corrosion-resistant than steel. This means you won't experience air loss due to rust or corrosion, ensuring a reliable performance for the long haul.

Smoother, Safer Journeys: Enhanced Ride Quality and Stability

Carry massive loads without sacrificing stability. By diminishing sway and absorbing road shock, the LoadLifter 5000 ensures a safer, smoother ride, even on uneven or rocky roads. The air springs come with Air Lift's exclusive upper and lower roll plates that beef up the springs' capacity and protect them from damage.

Simple, Hassle-Free Installation: Complete Kit with Hardware

Forget about complicated setups. This kit includes hose lines and manual valves for straightforward installation. The inflation valves are typically mounted on your bumper for quick and easy access. Just mount the springs, inflate them, and you're ready to roll – no advanced tools needed.

Confidence in Your Suspension System: Lifetime Warranty and Satisfaction Guarantee

Rest easy with a lifetime warranty featuring no mileage restrictions. Plus, there's a 60-day satisfaction guarantee. If you're not completely satisfied after two months of use, you can return them for a full refund. With the LoadLifter 5000, you gain peace of mind knowing your vehicle is equipped to handle the toughest jobs.

  • What Size Travel Trailer Can I Safely Pull With My Ford F-150?
    Hello Cindy, thanks for getting in touch, and for providing all of that detailed info. I do feel that your truck will be able to safely pull the travel trailers you are looking at. The Grand Design Imagine XLS 22MLE you mentioned has a GVWR of 6,995 lbs and this will be well under the max towing capacity for your truck. A 3/4 or 1 ton truck would handle things a bit better, but with your truck having a max tow rating on 12,700 lbs, you are well within the safe range. You may see a bit of...

  • Are Jounce Bumpers Removed When Installing Air Lift Air Bags AL57385 on 2020 Ford F-150
    I took a look at the instructions for you and yes, the jounce bumpers will be removed when installing the Air Lift air bags that fit your 2020 Ford F-150: - Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57385 The # AL57385 will essentially take the place of the jounce bumpers, and be much more effective as they will offer more support and stability for your truck, leveling your ride and improving its handling when you are towing or there is a load in the bed.

  • Recommended Air Bags for a 2019 Ford F-150 4WD W/ RAS System Installed
    Hey Gene, the good news is the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS3611-YHD you have will work just fine any air bags you want to add since the air bags would mount under the frame and the RAS installs to the top of the leaf springs so they wouldn't interfere with each other. For an air bag kit, the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57385 is a great choice, has up to 5K load leveling capacity, and is custom made to work with your 2019 F-150.

  • Custom 5th Wheel Install Kit Recommended for Use with Air Spring Suspension on 2019 Ford F-150
    I appreciate the time you've spent researching all the different products; I'm happy to offer you my expert recommendation to facilitate your purchasing decision. The Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16115 and the Reese 16K # RP30047 are very similar but I'm going to give the advantage to the Curt because of its autolocking jaw and excellent price point. The Reese Custom Installation Kit # RP50087-58 will pair up nicely with this hitch. To prevent your...

  • Does Air Lift Load Lifter for 2016 Ford F-150 Fit with B and W Gooseneck
    Hey Bill, yes the Air Lift Load Lifter part # AL57385 that fits your 20116 Ford F-150 does fit with your B and W Gooseneck hitch. The Compressor kit part # AL25980 also fits too. Are you getting some sag when you are towing your gooseneck trailer?

  • Air Lift Air Spring Kit And Spacers Needed For A Lifted 2016 Ford F-150 With A Gooseneck Hitch
    Hi Tyler, When adding in air springs on a lifted vehicle the proper way to determine the correct sized spacer is to first install the upper and lower brackets and then measure the distance between them and subtract the height of the air spring bellow (bag). Not every lift is going to create a gap and not every gap is going to be an equal match to the lift kit (ex: a 2" lift might not give you a 2" gap). The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57385 you were looking at would...

  • Air Bag Kit Recommendation for 5th Wheel Towing with a 2018 Ford F-150
    Hey Michael, thanks for reaching out! The Timbren Active Off-Road Bumpstops # T28GR you installed on your 2018 Ford F-150 unfortunately have that reputation among users (although Timbren claims their systems provide a smooth ride). Because of this we typically recommend using the SumoSprings like part # SS95QR instead. The SumoSprings kits do a much better job at providing a comfortable traveling experience. For an air bag kit I do normally prefer the Firestone kits over the Air Lift...

  • Recommended Air Bags for a 2015 Ford F-150 w/ a 5th Wheel Hitch
    Yes, they will. The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs item # AL57268 are compatible with a 5th wheel hitch. They are confirmed to fit the 2WD models of the 2015 Ford F-150. If you have a 4WD you will need item # AL57385 instead. I also recommend adding the Firestone Air Command item # F2610 to your truck. This onboard compressor will allow you to adjust the PSI in your air bags from your phone. I have linked some installation videos below so you can see how to get these parts set up.

    We do have air suspension that will work with the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # RP50087-58 for your 2018 Ford F-150 with a 5-1/2 foot bed, though I checked with Air Lift and the Air Lift Ride Control Air Helper Springs # AL59570 you referenced are not compatible with a 5th wheel hitch. Instead, the right kit is going to depend on if your '18 F-150 is a 2WD or 4WD. If you have a 2-wheel drive you will need the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57268;...

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement for 2016 Ford F-150 Towing 6500-lbs Travel Trailer
    I recommend using the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit - Heavy Duty Item # RAS3611-YHD because they're going to provide you with a system that turns your standard leaf springs into a mechanically active suspension. This will help increase stability, handling, and control by improving traction and reducing sway for an overall better ride quality when towing and when you're unloaded. They also don't require anything once they're installed, unlike the TorkLift StableLoad...

  • Will the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs Work with Weight Distribution 2016 Ford F-150
    A set of airbags will not interfere with a weight distribution system. However, the airbags will not be needed to level the vehicle if your weight distribution system is properly rated and installed. They will help to increase stability and improved ride quality on your 2016 Ford F-150 but should not be necessary for leveling purposes when towing with a weight distribution system. If you ever decide to tow a 5th wheel or gooseneck trailer you will need to make sure the airbags will work...

  • Do Air Lift Air Bags For 2016 Ford F-150 Help Carry Truck Camper
    Your 2016 Ford F-150 will get added support on it rear suspension when carrying a truck camper with the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57385. It will not increase your truck's payload capacity, however; what the Air Lift # AL57385 will do is give you a more controlled, comfortable ride with your camper. The reason why is that when you have your truck camper on the back of your F-150 - without any added support - will squat. This puts more stress on the back of the truck,...

  • Will Air Bags Work With a Gooseneck Hitch On a 2020 Ford F-150
    Yes, the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57385 for 4x4 or part # AL57268 for 4x2 which are a fit for a 2020 Ford F-150 (4x4) will work with a gooseneck trailer hitch like the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer part # BW77FR which is what I recommend. The square hitch ball opening ensures the hitch ball does not get stuck if left installed and you can easily tow a fifth wheel trailer if needed with the B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter...

  • Does The Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Have An Internal Jounce
    Yes, the Replacement Air Spring for Air Lift # AL50236 for the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL # AL57538, does have an internal jounce. If you want 6" air springs, you'll want the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57385. # AL57385 fits a 2015-2020 Ford F-150, so if that's what you have then these will work great for you.

  • Air Suspension Enhancement For 2020 Ford Ford F-150 Crew Cab With Fifth Wheel Hitch
    I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle part # AL57385 which is designed to install with an in-bed hitch. The Air Lift LoadLifter air spring design includes two roll plates one at each end of the air bag to avoid moving parts or flying debris damaging the bags while traveling.

  • Recommended Air Spring Suspension Enhancement System For 2017 F150 Lariat 4x4
    For your 2016 Ford F-150 Lariat 4x4, air springs are the right solution for your concerns. They can be inflated to support the extra load and deflated to 5 psi (not a change in feel) for your daily driving. I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57385. These springs have a 5000 lb capacity which is far more than needed to keep your vehicle from sagging when towing your 6000 lb boat or carrying cargo in the bed. These springs are adjustable between...

While this is a good kit I recommend using the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Springs w/ Internal Bumpers # AL88385 as being the better option for a lifted truck. Typically lifted trucks like to go off road more and flex their suspension. These bags have internal jounce springs that will help absorb shock in the suspension.

    While there is an air bag kit that works with a 5th wheel hitch for your 2018 Ford F-150, the Firestone # F2582 does not, and unfortunately there is no type of special bracket made for this, and I definitely don't recommend any type of modification. It would not only void the warranty but could compromise the air bag set up. So while I know it isn't the exact answer you want, the best and safest option truly is a different set of air bags for your '18 F-150, from Air Lift: - Air Lift LoadLifter...
