Specs:
Note: When servicing your truck with Air Lift air springs installed, if the truck is lifted by the frame, the air must be let out of the springs. And if the rear of the truck is lifted during service, then it must be supported by jack stands to avoid damage to the air springs.
This LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Plus air spring kit has rustproof stainless steel components that offer long-lasting durability. These components are the roll plates, braided air lines, and air spring attachment hardware.
The roll plates protect the air springs from damage and beef up their load capacity. These sturdy plates help guard the springs from moving parts under your vehicle that might puncture the air bags. The plates also provide a larger surface area for each spring to roll on. The extra surface area gives you a higher spring rate at a lower air pressure, resulting in a better ride.
The stainless steel air lines are tougher than nylon airlines and last a lot longer. They offer extra protection against damage caused by sharp edges and flying road debris.
And the air spring attachment hardware provides excellent corrosion resistance.
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 Plus 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 1/2-ton, 3/4-ton, or 1-ton pickup 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 Plus 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 Plus 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 with the included brackets and hardware. Just mount the springs, inflate them, and ride. 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 (one for each spring). Any air line excess must be coiled up and secured out of the way, so it won't get damaged. The air line cannot be cut or trimmed. And the valves 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.

Great bags, second vehicle I’ve had them on. So easy to adjust with the frame mounted compressor.
The lift system isn't installed yet...but I have an opportunity to interact with the customer service department- greta service and quick response (during a very busy time of year too!).
Thanks!!!
This one also had a part missing. One of the serated nuts were missing so I had to go to the hardware store. They need better quality control of there parts packaging.
Sierra K - 06/21/2022Packaging was amateur at best, multiple parts all scratched up, will need to be bead blasted and repainted to make it right, box had multiple holes and tears, no extra packing inside box, parts literally just thrown in. Pretty disappointed at this price point, I even got the ultimate plus kit, wow is all I can really say, pretty hard to believe
Say installation with great support

Review from a similar LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Plus in Vehicle Suspension
Great setup just wish it came with a hookup that would allow you to connect both lines to a single
Air nipple , pretty straight foward if you have any mechanical ability , just make sure you check for air leaks before you install the bags otherwise it might be a little more difficult
Review from a similar LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Plus in Vehicle Suspension
They do not hold air. Have not found leaks. Bubbled all fittings. The person has tried to call to get what he thinks is leaking. One side goes down in less than 24 hr. The other side goes down within a couple of days. Do not recommend
Brooke M - 01/25/2023Review from a similar LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Plus in Vehicle Suspension
Excellent product. Install in under 1 hour. Did add an onboard compressor with gauges/controls in cab about a month later. Definitely recommend adding compressor/gauges. That install took several hours though. It made the empty ride a tiny bit more stiff than before, but it still rides better than my '07 2500 ever did. Ride and handling when loaded is an impressive upgrade. 30' gooseneck horse trailer in hills and curves and very stable. 25k loads of hay no problem. 2k of tractor weights in the box, rides like a cadillac. I run up to 40 psi loaded, 5psi empty. 2020 ram 2500 with coil suspension and a diesel.
