Specs:
Air Lift's LoadLifter 5000 was designed with an exact purpose: to provide full-time, first-class support to your 3/4- or 1-ton pickup, motor home, or commercial truck. With this kit, you get a safer ride and simultaneously protect your vehicle from the strain that comes with hauling massive loads.
Carrying heavy cargo in your truck bed or trailer puts tremendous stress on your vehicle. Your brakes erode faster, your tires wear unevenly, and handling suffers severely. When towing, you might also experience excessive sway, bottoming out, and even improper and unsafe headlight aim. Fortunately, there is a solution to these problems. By pairing your existing suspension with the LoadLifter 5000, you can seriously beef up your suspension, ensure equal load distribution, and give your vehicle the support it desperately needs. Air Lift's LoadLifter 5000 provides up to 5,000 pounds of load-leveling capacity and distributes the weight of your payload to all four wheels. As a result, the stress on your OEM suspension is significantly reduced.
LoadLifter's air bags are adjustable from 5 to 100 psi for precise support, and they can be inflated independently of one another for front-to-rear and side-to-side leveling. They are made of high-quality, two-ply, fabric-reinforced rubber. Most air bags lose air at the ends, where the bag is enclosed with a steel cap, because the steel can rust and corrode over time, creating small holes. 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. Also, LoadLifter 5000 comes with Air Lift's exclusive roll plates, which both protect your air springs and beef up the load capacity of the springs.
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 air in through the inflation valves. A line kit is included with the springs so that you can install the valves (one for each spring) in an easily accessible area - typically they are installed on the bumper. If you want to make the springs even easier to use, you can get a compressor and gauge system (sold separately).
Air Lift kits are designed to keep your vehicle at normal ride height. You can find the normal ride height of your vehicle by unloading it and measuring the distance between the bottom edge of your wheel well and the center of the hub. After you find and record this distance, you can regulate the amount of air that you put into your air springs to maintain normal ride height - even when you are hauling a heavy load. You will need to adjust the air pressure in your air bags according to the size of your load.
Along with a lifetime warranty that has no mileage restrictions, Air Lift offers a 60-day satisfaction guarantee. Just install and use LoadLifter 5000 springs for 60 days, and if you are not satisfied at the end of this time, you can remove them from your vehicle and return them for a full product refund. Now that's confidence.

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at these Air Lift LoadLifter 5,000 Air Helper springs for your rear axle. Now, this kit is designed to fit your 2019 and newer Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2,500 4-wheel drive with a 144-inch wheel base. On custom-fit parts such as this kit, I do recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. Simply input the year, make, and model of your vehicle, and our fit guide will confirm if this kit will work for you or if another kit will work for you.
I do wanna let you know that we also have this kit available for a longer wheelbase as well for the same vehicle. So again, you can find that in our vehicle fit guide. So with this kit, you are going to get a safer ride, while at the same time, protecting your vehicle from the strain that comes from hauling heavier loads. Now, carrying heavy cargo as you know, is gonna put tremendous strain and stress on your vehicle. Your brakes are going to erode faster.
Your tires are gonna wear unevenly and handling is going to suffer severely. So when towing or hauling a heavy load, you might also experience excessive sway, bottoming out, and even improper and unsafe headlight aim. So by pairing your existing suspension with these LoadLifter 5,000 Air Helper springs, you're gonna be able to seriously beef-up your existing suspension. And also, it's going to ensure equal load distribution in your vehicle. So these are gonna give your vehicle the support that it's going to desperately need.
These Air Helper springs are going to give you up to 5,000 pounds of load-leveling capacity and it's going to help distribute the weight of your payload to all four wheels. So as a result, the stress on your OEM suspension is going to be significantly reduced. Now, taking a slightly closer look at this kit, these airbags are made here in the USA of high-quality two-ply fabric-reinforced rubber. Most airbags lose air at the ends where the bag is enclosed with the steel cap because the steel can rust and corrode over time, creating small holes. But the end caps on these springs, which you can't see because I have tried to kinda loosely assemble these to kind of give you an idea of what they're gonna look like installed.
But the end cap on these are fashioned from corrosion-proof Zytel nylon. That's a material that's both stronger but lighter than steel. So that's going to ensure that these airbags are not going to lose air. Also, these springs come with Air Lift's exclusive roll plates that you see here, which will both protect your air springs and beef up the load capacity of the springs. These are gonna be adjustable from 5 to 100 PSI, giving you that precise support that you're looking for. So they can be inflated independently of one another for front to rear or side to side leveling. So this is going to include everything that you see laid out on my table before me. You're going to get the custom-fit brackets, the hardware. And obviously some of the hardware is in use, holding the pieces together here for our demonstration purposes. You're gonna get airline, the inflation valves. You're also going to get an instruction sheet or a booklet rather, to guide you through the installation process. And the manual valve. The manual valves are typically mounted on the bumper for easier access. Now, you can get compressor systems with end cap gauges that can be added to monitor and automatically adjust the air pressure. These items we do sell separately on our website, but you can find them under the related product section on this product page. Now, as I mentioned, the load-leveling capacity is 5,000 pounds, but it is important to know that these Air Helper springs are not actually going to increase your vehicle's load-leveling or carrying capacity. So you do wanna be sure that you still do not exceed your manufacturer's recommended weight limit on your vehicle. These do have a lifetime warranty from Air Lift, and I think that's gonna wrap up our quick look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy, thank you for joining me.
