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.

5,000-lb Capacity. These air springs have internal bumpers to provide the adjustable load support of air springs and the comfort and reliability of jounce springs. Durable stainless steel roll plates, air lines, and hardware are rustproof.Packaging 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
Awesome , customer service, Paula was the nicest customer service representative I have ever dealt with, and I received the item on time.
Review from a similar LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Plus in Vehicle Suspension
First, etrailer's shipping is amazing. I can't believe how quickly it was shipped and arrived. I have leveling spacers on the front end of my Ram 2500. The spacers make the truck look great when unloaded, but ridiculous when loaded. These AirLifts really complete the whole truck and level it out even when loaded with a heavy trailer. I keep them under pressure all the time and have zero complaints about ride quality; the truck has always had a rough ride since new when unloaded. It's a truck, not a Bentley. They also stand up well against rough roads. A few comments on the install: - When the instructions say "don't overtighten the stainless air hoses" what they really mean is "crank them as hard as you can with a hand wrench otherwise they'll leak". I initially had leaks at the joints because I was trying to baby the threads. - Why don't the instructions recommend to remove your wheels? You already have it up on jacks. I can't imagine trying to install these with wheels and tires in the way. - Not all parts are stainless, but I figure that the truck will rust out before these do.

Installed these on my 2019 F-350 SRW after having a local outfitter replace the stock long before with a 9’ CM Truck bed flatbed. I designed the flatbed to incorporate ramps so I could haul my RZR 1000 XP and still pull a camp trailer with the truck. These airbags vastly improved the ride when not hauling, and leveled the truck when loaded. Awesome product! The only gripe is the stainless air hoses were too short to reach where I wanted to mount the schrader valves due to the longer bed. I ended up mounting them to just above the rear wheels. No air leakage, and installed them myself in about 4 hours. Can’t believe how well the truck rides, even with no load. Highly recommended these!

I installed the Air Lift loadlifter 5000 ulimate plus this last weekend on my 2015 Silverado. The package was an easy install and has completely changed the ride. I pulled my car hauler with a 3800lbs car on Sunday and the truck is perfectly level. It is the best of both worlds I ran 40lbs of air with it loaded and 20lbs with no load. Makes for a very comfortable Stable ride at both pressures. Great Product and would recommend it to anyone that pulls a trailer and wants a great ride.
Review from a similar LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Plus in Vehicle Suspension
While not towing it makes for a rough ride . I try to keep 5psi in the system but still takes away from the suspension on the trail boss model .. Not sure if I would install this again. I guess it depends on how much you tow and weight . Towing with the system gives the truck some additional stability.

It’s missing a braided air line and 2 fittings to install properly.

I’ve used this product many times on my vehicles and other. Airlift make a good, consistent and long lasting product. Ordering it from etrailer.com makes it better with their pricing and customers service.

Review from a similar LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Plus in Vehicle Suspension
They work fantastic! I haul a 16' cargo trailer that carries heavy equipment almost every day and my factory springs are worn out. I put 45 psi on these airbags and my truck is perfectly level and rides like a dream. No more bottoming out over each and every bump. Instructions are not easy to follow and the video is ok but not perfect. If you aren't very mechanically inclined or have half a day to lose I'd recommend just paying someone to install. Took me about 4 hours b/c I didn't have the right tools or jacks so that was a big issue too.

Air line is leaking air; while towing on long trips I have to check and put air in the bags.
Review from a similar LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Plus in Vehicle Suspension
I opted for the more expensive package due to the braided hose option and figured it would hold up better than the conventional nylon hose package. I wouldn't waste your money!! I have had nothing but absolute problems with this system! For one,This braided line system constantly kinks ups when try to tighten the hose thus causing complications with air loss,and difficulty with air going in. I have the factory prep kit in my 2500HD and I can not for the life of me tighten the line without kinking right there at top of the air bag. I was really hoping to get the wireless air control system but waiting for my frustration to go down from the cost of this system I just purchased and constant failure of pinched off lines to spend the money on the on board wireless compressor.

Review from a similar LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Plus in Vehicle Suspension
Excellent product and service. Shipping was lightning fast and product was well packaged. This took about 2 hours for me to install and it works like a million bucks on my 2019 Ram 2500. Glad I got the upgraded version. The product is high quality all the way and instructions were very good. Now, no sagging at all when I load a ton of paver stone in the bed. Will definitely do business with retailer again.
