Video Transcript for Review of Air Lift Vehicle Suspension - LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs - AL97FF

Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look together at these Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with internal jounce bumpers for your rear axle. Now, these have been designed to fit your 2017 to 2020 Ford F-150 Raptor. And on custom-fit parts such as these springs, I do recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. Input the year, make and model of your vehicle and our fit guide will confirm if these will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you. Now, this hybrid spring system with a load leveling capacity of 5,000 pounds combines the adjustability of air springs with the reliability of jounce-style springs.

These air springs are going to reduce the strain on your rear suspension, it's going to increase safety, and compensate for uneven loads. Now, some additional benefits include leveling your truck, front to back, and help maintain that safe headlight aim. They'll adjust independently for side to side leveling of any off center loads, which will improve steering and braking performance. Now, on the inside of each of these air springs are jounce springs. They help improve ride comfort, reduce sway, and help with cornering.

It will engage a lower air pressures to better absorb road shock and minimize bottoming out, and it's going to provide support progressively, which means the more you load the springs, the stiffer they become, and it'll let you temporarily carry a load with zero air pressure in the air springs because of those jounce springs inside. Now, these are made here in the USA of 2 Ply fabric reinforced rubber, and these airbags have air lifts exclusive upper and lower roll plates. So these plates are going to protect the air springs from damage and they're going to extend the life of your suspension system. The adjustable air pressure on the air spring is from five PSI to 100 PSI. And on the end of each spring, and you're not gonna be able to see it because I do have these kind of loosely put together to kind of give you an idea of how these are going to attach to these brackets.

But on the end of each spring, it's a high strength Zytel nylon end cap, which is lighter, stronger, and more corrosion-resistant than steel. The jounce spring that's on the inside is a urethane jounce spring, so it requires no maintenance and it works well in hot or cold temperatures. So this kit includes everything that you see laid out here on my table before me. Of course, you're going to get the mounting brackets and all the hardware that you're going to need to install these. And then the manual inflation valves and the air lines are included, the manual valves are typically mounted on the bumper for easy access.

You are gonna get a set of instructions to guide you through the installation process. And you can get compressor systems with in-cab gauges that can be added to monitor and automatically adjust the air pressure. Those items, we do sell separately here at etrailer.com and you can find them under the related product section on this product page as well. Now, again, I said at the beginning of our time together that the load leveling capacity is up to 5,000 pounds. But it is important to note that these air helper springs do not actually increase your F-150 rafters weight carrying capacity. So you do wanna make sure that you're not exceeding Ford's recommended weight limit. Well, 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.
