5,000-lb Capacity. LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate air springs have internal bumpers, so you get the adjustable load support of air springs and the comfort and reliability of jounce springs. Jounces also work as a fail-safe if air springs lose pressure.

Specs:
The air springs and jounce springs in this system work together to give you the best ride whether your truck is loaded or unloaded. Air Lift's LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate air springs have internal urethane foam jounces that protect the air springs and provide added ride comfort when your air pressure is low. The jounces also allow you to temporarily carry a load if the air springs lose air pressure. This gives your 3/4- or 1-ton pickup, motor home, or commercial truck air springs that are easier to maintain.
Carrying heavy cargo in your truck bed or trailer puts extra stress on your truck. Your brakes erode faster, your tires wear unevenly, and handling suffers severely. When towing, you might also experience excessive sway, bottoming out, and even inaccurate and unsafe headlight aim.
By pairing your existing suspension with LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate air springs, you can seriously beef up your suspension, ensure equal load distribution, and get the support you need. The springs provide up to 5,000 lbs of load-leveling capacity (depending on the weight-carrying capacity of your vehicle) and distribute the weight of your payload to all 4 wheels. As a result, the stress on your factory suspension is significantly reduced. LoadLifter's air bags are adjustable from 5 to 100 psi for precise support, and they can be inflated equally for front-to-back leveling or independently of one another for side-to-side leveling.
The air springs are made of high-quality, 2-ply, fabric-reinforced rubber. Most air bags lose air at the ends where the bag is enclosed with steel caps. These caps can rust and corrode over time, creating small holes. But 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.
The closed-cell urethane jounce spring inside each air spring gives you a more stable, comfortable ride. Each jounce acts as an overload spring and engages when your current air pressure level isn't enough to support your load. So on a rough road, the springs will kick in if needed to absorb bumps and shocks and help you to avoid bottoming out. When the jounces support a load, they adjust progressively - the more weight you pile on, the stiffer they become. The urethane material engages more smoothly than rubber jounces so you get a less jerky ride.
Because these jounces are taller than your factory jounce bumpers, they engage sooner than your factory jounces would to provide better support. And if the LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate air springs have insufficient or zero air pressure, the internal jounces will help to temporarily support your suspension and protect it from damage until you can repair or adjust the air spring system.
This system installs easily. Just mount the springs, inflate them, and ride. The springs install between your truck's frame and its leaf springs. To inflate the LoadLifter springs, you just have to pump in air through the inflation valves. A line kit is included with the springs so that you can install the manual inflation valves (1 for each spring). These are typically mounted on the bumper but can be installed anywhere that is easily accessible. If you want to make the springs even easier to use, you can get a compressor and gauge system (sold separately) that allows you to monitor and adjust the springs from the cab of your truck.
Along with a lifetime warranty that has no mileage restrictions, Air Lift offers a 60-day satisfaction guarantee. Just install and use LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate springs for 60 days, and if you are not satisfied at the end of this time, you can remove and return them for a full refund.

Installed the AirLift bags to improve the ride of my rig. The results have been outstanding. Ride and handling are remarkably improved. Overall I am very glad I installed this product.
I installed the airlift on my Fr3 30DS class A for more stability and to control the swaying. Well it did the job really well but the added bonus was that it reduced the road noise incredibly. Thank you, product highly recommended.
After a bad experience with [online vendor] I ordered these from etrailer and received them in just a few days. I installed this complete bolt-on kit in under an hour. I have never had something so easy to install, improve the ride and handling as these air bags did. Just 30 lbs of air and no more roll, quieter smoother ride and no more anxiety passing trucks. I highly reccommend these from etrailer.
Looks easy to install, hardware package was open hopefully all bolts and hardware is there!
Great shipping, great instalation instructions and Ride results were as hoped for.
The instructions were very simple to follow and the kit from Air Lift made a world of difference in the ride. Not only was it easy to install the kit on both sides, but I was surprised to find that I didn't even have to remove the tires. However, I did use the levelers to give me a little more room between the springs and the frame. The only thing I would add to the instructions was how to remove the jounce bumpers (it just says to remove them). One side had a bolt with a 14mm hex head which was inserted up from the bottom, but the nut was a 15mm hex. If you try to use a 15mm socket on the bolt head, I think you may get the socket stuck inside the jounce bumper. Even a deep 14mm socket was tight against the bumper and not long enough to reach the bolt head unless I used an extension. The other side was also a 14mm hex head bolt, but it threaded directly into the frame with no nut. It's easy to see the bolt head once the bumper is out, but not so much with only a couple of inches between the bottom and the springs. All of the components seem very high quality and well made. Of course, etrailer shipped everything very quickly and I'm sure they were only a phone call away if I would have needed help with the installation. 2016 Holiday Rambler 36SBT
Great product great company really good follow up
Very good information about the product Happy
Hard to say if I like it or not. Really don't notice much difference. Also, when I park on a site and my automatic jacks come out. If my tires are off the ground or close to being off the ground then the bags are really stretched, so I am afraid this will weaken and tare them. So I have to lower my unit, drive up on some boards and then re extend my jacks. So this takes a lot more time then I had to use before.

I have left them on and they are still functional with what they do. I still put boards under my front tires to drive up on if the site is off a lot for when my jacks are deployed.
Purchased for a 2014 Tiffin Allegro Open Road F53/22K Lbs chassis. I intended to start my suspension upgrade hear as I had a list to the front passenger side and this seemed the fist thing that needed correcting and I would proceed from there with sway bars, shocks etc. It has been a year and I see no need.
Much to my surprise, these air bags were easy to install, under 3hrs., and corrected the list to one side, softened the front end jarring from the road and greatly reduced the suc-in/push of passing semi trucks. I run 55lbs of air on the pass. side and 45/50 on the driver. I would say they corrected 80% of my problems and have not seen the need to add/correct sway bars or shocks. Also limited the front end bounce from large dip in the road. The only other thing I am considering adding is a front end center steering wheel stabilizer.
Regarding the installation on a 2012 Thor/Damon Daybreak 28PD: The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 was installed in about 3.5 hours with hand tools. No drilling required. Wheels were not removed, though hydraulic jacks were employed w/jack stands for safety. Instructions provided/downloaded were very clear. The valve stems replaced the hardware securing the front license plate bracket which made inflating convenient. Note that later, the gauge, air pump & hardware were added, but the valve stems were maintained. This system provided a marked improvement in ride quality. The rear axle air springs are on the list for installation during the first of 2023.
Arrived on time, I am currently working on the install using the informative video's.
Parts came in as described. Shipment was on time. Donna was a great help
Worked great
This product is great! Easy to install with very good instructions. I tow a 44' long 5th wheel with a F350 with these lifts installed and the truck drives great with no sagging at all! I would recommend installing this lift for anyone who plans on hauling heavy loads.

One year and many more miles on the road my air bags are still intact and performing better than expected. Thank you etrailer folks.
