Photo Comparing LoadLifter 7500 XL with LoadLifter 5000

LoadLifter 7500 XL springs have up to 20 percent more air spring volume than LoadLifter 5000 springs. The available volume in these 7" double-bellows air springs enable greater leveling strength at lower pressures. This ensures maximum load-lifting abilities and a great ride quality no matter the load.

etrailer has low prices and quick shipping! The Air Lift Loadlifter helper spring kit I purchased for my truck is an excellent product.



by:

Installed on my ‘19 Sierra 2500 4x4 diesel. Installed professionally February ‘19.
Vehicle came factory with 5th wheel hardware, but with a little work, they attached just fine.

Used in conjunction with my OBA system these bags both improved the ride quality of the truck empty, as well as loaded and towing. I tow a 24’ travel trailer full time. These bags improve the ride dramatically, especially depending on the road surface I’m on.

Absolutely problem free. No air leaks. No bag failures. Very satisfied in over 30k miles.

I have a 2019 2500 Silverado with a duramax. Generally only used to pull our 13k fifth wheel or a dump trailer. The bags work excellent and the compressor continues to function as required. I am located outside Buffalo,ny so the harsh winters coupled with salt and other chemicals have not seemed to effect the function of the onboard compressor or air bags.

Year 2. The on board compressor no longer works however the bags still operate as expected.

Had them installed, works great. Glad we installed them.

Best thing we could have done, makes towing our 5th wheel a lot easier

etrailer.com is the best! Great products and great customer service. I ordered these Air Lift Load Lifter 7500 XL airbags to be installed on my 2017 Chevrolet 3500 HD Duramax single axle short bed. The installation was a breeze using the installation video provided by the fine people at eTrailer.com. It does help if you have a friend to assist with the installation.

After a year or so, the Air Lift Load Lifter 7500 XL airbags are still going strong! Great product! I would recommend them and etrailer.com to anyone. In fact, my good friend was in the market for some similar items and I sent him to etrailer.com for their great customer service and the installation videos they provide for the products they sell. Very pleased!



by:

Air Lift 7500 XL Helper Springs are working great. etrailer was extremely helpful and fast when I had an issue during the install. The defective new part was replaced immediately.

Dave

I ordered the Air Lift Load Lifter 7500 XL for my 2015 Chev 3500HD, single axle. The on-line video by etrailer was great and made the installation go as shown without any issues. They have worked great the fist year without any issues. I would recommend this Air Lift product to a friend.



by:
2012 Chevrolet Silverado

I've installed these on several customer trucks as well as my own. Check you're pressures often if not using an on board compressor, that little space can vary psi greatly with temp changes. Otherwise, they work as expected and install quite easily.



by:

I purchased the air lift 7500lb bags with the wireless remote. I am very familiar with wiring and fabrication. The install actually went fairly easy. However the remote was extremely inconsistent. Two of my friends had the same system on their vehicles and warned me about it. They actually removed and sold the set ups. I guess I was hoping the issues they had would have been resolved. To my disappointment they haven’t. That and I really don’t want a gauge/switch set up in my new truck. First the relay was bad. I called and the customer service was great they sent me a trouble shooting guide, I proved the issue and was sent a replacement. Finally I got the system working and it has been so inconsistent that I actually unplug the fuse in between uses. When the remote does actually work and communicate with the system it is constantly shutting on and off. Somehow in my life I’m able to build and trouble shoot complex elevators and yet I’ve been whipped by a simple product like this. I’m now stuck with the airbag system installed and will eventually get another hard wired system that’s more reliable. Shame on me for not listening to my friends advice.



by:

Wow. Received package faster than indicated. Online and phone customer service excellent. Will update the product kit soon regarding install and functional use soon. Towing newly purchased fifth wheel this weekend.



by:

Air Lift airbags are great. This is my second set and they work better than expected. The kit was complete, came with everything required to do the install.



by:

Outstanding product, second set of Air Lift air bags in two different vehicles. Evens out loads when hauling and keeps my camper pulling level when traveling! Would recommend to anyone!



by:

I needed the air bags in a hurry. I called late in the day, and the order made the shipment that day. Received them in time to make my pick up in Florida.



by:

We put these on a 3/4 ton service pickup a year ago, truck carries a fair amount of load all the time and we are very happy with how the load is carried and the handling of the vechicle. So far i am very happy with this product.



by:

Everything arrived exactly as ordered an on time. Haven’t had the hitch and airbags installed yet but, the info on your website was invaluable in determining what I needed to purchase to set my truck up for carrying my new pickup camper



by:

We installed these bags on all of our mechanic trucks to help with the weight of the utility bed. The ride is much improved and the weight is carried more stable. We have had no issues a year later.



by:

Great service and shipped right away



by:

They work as intended when hauling larger trailers/loads and general help with the ride overall.



by:

Product worked as expected, helping to level vehicle with heavy trailers.



by:

I placed my order on a Wednesday at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and it was here by Friday. That's very excellent and fast service thank you.



by:

Great product and packaged nice.



by:

Great system, we needed an extended cab for our business but can only find them in 3/4 ton with this kit it can keep up with a F-550. Love how heavy duty they are and the internal bounce stop. Best on the market in my opinion, just ordered another set for another vehicle



by:

quick service great prices

  • Do I Need Spacers to Install a Air Bag Kit on a 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 w/ a 5" lift?
    You will definitely need a couple of spacers to add the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs item # AL57538. Most if not all 5" lifts on Chevy trucks are not 5" in the rear because of the rake Silverado's come with from the factory. You most likely need a 3" spacer like item # F2367. The easiest way to tell what size spacer you need is to measure your lifting block. Here are the options for 2" and 4" spacers if your lift is not 3" in the rear. 2" Spacer item # AL52420 4" Spacer...

  • Are There Replacement Mounting Brackets For An Air Lift Air Spring To Fit With A 5th Wheel Hitch
    While we don't currently offer the mounting brackets separately I can tell you that you need the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs # AL57538 in order for your 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 to have both a fifth wheel hitch and air springs. There are special instructions listed on page 9 for installing the kit when a hitch mounting bracket is already installed. You can try to reach out to Air Lift directly to see if you can get the correct mounting brackets, but both Air Lift and...

  • Can Air Lift SmartAir II Automatic-Leveling Compressor System work with LoadLifter 7500
    The Air Lift SmartAir II Automatic-Leveling Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Dual Sensor # AL25491 is compatable with the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57538 since both the compressor and the bags are rated for 100 psi so these two parts would work well together for you.

    Air Lift has a LoadLifter 7500 XL kit that fits your 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500 with the kit part # AL57541 but the kit you mentioned does not fit your truck. I attached an install video for this kit on a similar 2020 Silverado for you to check out as well. For a compressor kit then the heavy duty part # AL25854 will work great to make inflating the bags and maintaining them easier. The compressor will inflate faster than standard compressors and the gauge inside the vehicle will allow...

    When it comes to installing a suspension enhancement system on your 2019 Chevrolet Express Van 3500 Cutaway, I recommend The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57205. This system has a load-leveling capacity up to 5,000 pounds, and has an adjustable air pressure between 5 psi to 100 psi. The kit will keep your vehicle level when you are hauling a heavy load which will improve steering and braking performance, help maintain safe headlight aim, and keeps your tires...

  • Recommended Heavy Duty Air Lift System For A 2012 Chevy Silverado 3500 With Dual Rear Wheels
    If you are wanting a heavy duty Air Lift system, you will want the LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs # AL57538. These will have no problem fitting your 2012 Chevy Silverado 3500 with dual rear wheels and the hitch in the bed of your truck. They are rated up to 7,500 pounds of load leveling capacity at 100 psi and are American made. As to these not having an internal jounce, I did contact Air Lift and they are looking to add the internal jounces to the 7,500 XL in the future, but they...

  • Firestone 7500 Air Bags vs. Air Lift 7500 Air Bags for 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 2WD
    The 7,500 lb air bag kit I highly recommend for your 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 two-wheel drive are the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2709 because of the superior construction of the bags compared to the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs # AL57538. The reason the Firestone air bags are higher in quality than the Air Lift is because the Firestone bags are constructed with four layers of rubber which is reinforced, while the Air Lift bags are a double-ply...

  • 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.

  • Are The 7,500 Lb Air Bags Recommended for a 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 with Constant Load
    If you find yourself constantly towing year-round then the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs part # AL57538 is what I recommend for a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. I would also recommend these higher rated air bags for trailers with a heavier pin weight like yours. If you have the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs you can use the Replacement Heat Shield part # AL34365.

  • Best Airbags for 2018 GMC Sierra 3500HD with a B&W 5th Wheel Hitch Installed
    Though the Air Lift # AL57538 and the Firestone # F2709 both have a 7,500 pound load capacity, lifetime warranty, will work with an in bed hitch, and are made in the U.S.A., I do prefer the Firestone. Reason being, the air bags for the # F2709 are 4 ply, whereas the air bags on the # AL57538 are 2 ply. This gives the bags more durability and a longer lifespan. Other than some bracketry differences, this is the deciding factor for me. I did include install videos of both products for you...

  • AirLift Air Spring Installation in 2019 Chevy 3500HD with Factory 5th Wheel Prep
    Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Spring kit # AL57538 will fit both the 2WD and 4WD versions of the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD with factory 5th wheel/gooseneck prep but you will need to drill to install it. The kit brackets will install to the bottom of the frame as shown in the linked photo.

    For your 2015 GMC Sierra 3500 Denali DRW 4x4, I recommend using the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs part # F2709 over the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs part # AL57538 for two reasons. The first reason is that the Air Lift kit requires drilling into the frame (minimal) whereas the Firestone kit is completely drill free. The second reason is in regards to the construction of the airbags. The Firestone airbags use a crimp rolled design which is...

  • Recommendation For Best Air Lift LoadLifter For 2018 GMC Sierra 2500
    Both the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000, Item # AL57338, and 7500 XL, Item # AL57538, fit your 2018 GMC Sierra 2500. When you are running unloaded you will have a stiffer ride. If you adjust your air pressure then you can smooth out the ride when empty. The LoadLifter 5000 is designed to help provide support progressively as you load more up to 5,000-lbs. It is also for occasional towing and hauling. The LoadLifter 7500 XL works much like the LoadLifter 5000 but handles a 7,500-lb capacity....

  • Best Airbags for a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 With Factory Prep Package
    For your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 3500, I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2609 over the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs part # AL57538. The Firestone Red Label airbags will do an excellent job of helping to support your truck bed camper or gooseneck trailer. They have a 7,500 lb weight capacity which will work better for you because you are going to be using an in-bed camper which will add more weight over the rear axle than with a 5th wheel or...

Instead, I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57338. The 7,500 lb and 5,000 lb weight capacity you see is for pin/tongue weight, not gross trailer weight as the the pin/tongue weight is the only part that is directly over the top of the airbags.
