Ride Control gives the suspension system on your light-to-medium-duty truck, van, or SUV unrivaled support. With these air springs installed, you'll experience the same comfortable, smooth, and safe ride that you're used to enjoying when you're not hauling. Plus, Ride Control reduces the strain that heavy loads can put on your vehicle, saving you money in potential repairs.
Everything on your vehicle suffers from the stress of hauling or towing heavy loads - your brakes, your tires, and your handling ability. Even your headlight aim can be thrown off. Without some kind of reinforcement for your factory suspension system, you could be putting the life expectancy of your vehicle at risk. Air Lift's adjustable air spring kit, Ride Control, gives your suspension the extra support it needs when you are carrying heavy cargo. By providing equal load distribution, Ride Control lessens the stress that your truck has to endure.
Ride Control's air bags are adjustable from 5 to 100 psi, so you can get the perfect amount of support for any size load. And the springs can be inflated independently of one another for front-to-rear and side-to-side leveling. The system's also easy to install and even easier to maintain.
Ride Control comes with manual inflation valves that are typically mounted on the bumper but can be installed anywhere on your vehicle for easy access. For even more convenience and control, you can add a compressor and gauge system (sold separately), which will let you monitor and automatically inflate your air springs.
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.
These adjustable air springs come with a lifetime warranty with no mileage restrictions. In addition, Air Lift is so sure that you will benefit from their air spring suspension system that they offer a 60-day satisfaction guarantee. Install and use Ride Control 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.

2,000-lb Capacity. Level your vehicle when you're hauling a heavy load with these Ride Control air springs. The adjustable springs improve overall stability and ride quality, eliminate rear sag, and reduce strain on your factory suspension.by: Patrick 12/15/2022
Every peice was there, directions were easy to follow.I watched the installation video 2 times really helps when you use the manual. Just installed today haven't tested yet but it's not a wimpy kit fit my truck perfect aired up nice non drilling no surprises, very happy with the purchase.

I'm very pleased with these airbags. Saved $100 versus the competition. The kit is specific to the model and year of my truck and fit perfectly. I'm 66, handy with a wrench, but not a mechanic. I completed the installation by myself in a couple of hours without a lift. The instructions are clear but I found it helpful to also watch the u-tube video as I went through the steps. (Better pictures) My F-150 has plenty of power but soft suspension which makes for a comfortable ride when empty but sat down low with a heavy trailer. I can pump up the airbags and level out the load. I made several trips with a 20' deckover trailer carrying 10,000 pounds of produce and had no problems. I'm wishing I had also purchased and installed the built-in air compressor. I will probably add it later. I air up at the farm before adding a load and I carry a twenty dollar 12 volt compressor in the tool box just in case I have an unexpected load. This doesn't add to the hauling capacity of my truck but it keeps my headlights on the road and not in the trees.

Installation was easy and the product is working great. I installed the air helper springs on my 2016 F150 in about two hours. I routed the air lines to the bumper and drill holes beside the license plate to easy access to the valves. The video is very helpful for the installation process and I highly recommend this product. I do wish that the wireless controller was a little cheaper because it is not easy to fill each side evenly...

Product was easy to install. Still works great and is easy to fill the bladders with a small air compressor. Keeps the back of the truck level and provides a smooth ride down the highway pulling our travel trailer. Very pleased with the purchase and the support I received from etrailer.

This fixed the problem of the rear end sagging on my 2020 F150. I have a weight distributing hitch but this alone could not overcome the extra tongue weight. I installed the 2000lb kit because I did not want the ride to change from stock when not towing. The kit was easy to install and it took me about 2.5 hours to install working alone. The directions are perfect, I read them the day before and then went step by step and no detail is left up to guess work. The hardest part was grinding the edge off of the old factory jounce bumper took about 10 minutes on the bench grinder. I can now level my load and the ride is great!
by: Doug 03/06/2021
The service was great! I got exactly what I ordered in just a couple of days. Product was well advertised and was just what I needed to level up my truck. Good quality and a breeze to install. I would definitely recommend this product over 1" leveling blocks and you have the added feature to level out a heavier load or pulling a trailer. Thanks!
by: Karl07/23/2021
Great bolt on kit,honestly the hardest part is grinding the bump stops, and running the air lines ( use plenty of zip ties) to secure the lines.....I cut the air line in half and had plenty of hose to secure to the inside of the frame rails and coil it before connecting them to the bracket I mounted to my trailer hitch.
by: Dennis 09/28/2021
Installation was pretty straight forward. Did my first trip towing my 3000 pound camper and they made a huge difference in ride and stability! If you can, get the compressor system for these. It will make the experience much better!

Great price fast shipping. Installed it today it was very easy to install only had to drill two holes for the air lines, I did my holes in the bottom licence plate mounts. I'm very happy with it.

Just installed these today on my 2016 F150. Took about 3 hours (I'm slow). Installaton was a breeze thanks to the clear instructions. I haven't had a chance to test them under load yet, but so far so good.

The box was damaged and some of the small washers and nuts were missing but no critical part I had extra washers and nuts one of the brackets was hanging out of the box but still there maybe the Box should be a little more durable

See what our Experts say about this Air Lift Vehicle Suspension
- Will the Air Lift Ride Control Air Helper Springs Fit with Oversized Tires on a 2016 Ford F-150 The manufacturer Air Lift, does not test the Air Lift Ride Control Air Helper Springs part # AL59570 on vehicles like your 2016 Ford F-150 with oversized tires and neither do we. Therefore, I cannot give you a defiant yes or no answer. However, the upper bracket on this kit does not extend out past the wheel well on the truck bed so there shouldn't be any issues but there is no way I can say for certain. I wish I had a better answer for you but you will just have to try for yourself. I...
view full answer... - Air Lift Ride Control Air Helper Springs Compatibility With Lifted 2015 Ford F-150I didn't see any photos attached, but based on what you stated with blocks under the leaf springs, I agree there is not any reason why the Air Lift Ride Control Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle, # AL59570, will not work since your factory measurements have not changed between the leaf spring and the truck frame itself. That is great news. Let me know if I can help you with anything further.
view full answer... - Installation Of Air Lift Ride Control Air Helper SpringsUnfortunately we don't have an installation video of that exact model, # AL59570, of Air Spring on a 2015 Ford F-150 like yours, but I have attached a couple videos of other installations to give you an idea. The installation instructions are also attached. There is a way to see how much lift was added to your vehicle. It only requires taking a simple measurement. You will want to look at where the frame meets your suspension and look for spacers or blocks. To also want to look for...
view full answer... - Recommended Rear-Axle Air Bag Kit for 2015 Ford F-150 Towing 6K-lb TrailerProperly-loaded trailers usually have a tongue weight (TW) that is about 12- to 15-percent of the trailer gross weight. So a 6K trailer should have a TW in the range of 800 to 900-lbs. If you do NOT haul heavy cargo in the truck bed, just tow the 6K trailer, then you do not need the support of the higher-rated air bag system. If it is only trailer tongue weight that affects your truck's stance then a kit such as # AL59570 is the appropriate choice. You can see the installation process...
view full answer... - Does Air Lift Suspension Kit for 2016 Ford F-150 Give Vehicle More Weight CapacitySuspension enhancement kits provide additional support which helps the suspension of the vehicle but they do not increase the weight capacity of the vehicle since the capacity of a vehicle is more than just the suspension capacity. So what the kits like the Air Lift # AL59570 are designed to do is give you the ability to tow in a safer and more level way within the capacities of the vehicle. I attached an install video for this kit on a similar 2016 Ford F-150 for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Will Adding an Air Bag Kit and 1-1/2" Leveling Kit to a 2018 Ford F-150 be Beneficial for TowingSince the 1-1/2" leveling kit will be on the front of your 2018 Ford F-150 it won't affect how the Air Lift Ride Control Air Helper Springs # AL59570 fit (see attached photo and installation video on a 2017 F-150). By adding this air bag kit it will help keep your pickup level while towing. The Air Lift Load Controller II # AL25592 will also help to improve your air bag kit because it is a single path compressor system that includes an in-cab gauge which lets you monitor and adjust your...

- Recommended Suspension Enhancement For A 2020 Ford F-150When it comes to installing a suspension enhancement on your 2020 Ford F-150 The Air Lift Ride Control Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL59570 does not come with a pressure gauge. To get the pressure gauge you will have to get The Air Lift Load Controller II Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Single Path # AL25592. This air compressor system allows you to monitor and automatically adjust your air spring pressure as needed to ensure safety and appropriate support. It boasts quiet,...

This is perfect for use along with your WD hitch that is rated to 1200-lbs tongue weight. Installation is shown in the linked video. You'll get the most out of the air spring setup if you add a compressor kit # AL74000 that lets you make pressure adjustments on the fly as...

Unfortunately, the that model will not work with the 2015 F-150, and my contact at Air Lift told me that none of the parts are interchangeable. If you are interested in installing a set of the Air Lift Springs on your new truck and want the same performance and features, the air springs for a 2 wheel drive with stock height is part # AL59570. This system is the same...
view full answer... - Compressor Kit Recommendation 2015 Ford F-150 with Air Lift Kit to Fine Tune Air PressureWith an air suspension kit like the Air Lift kit part # AL88385 you will have to constantly be changing the air pressure in the bags to allow you the best possible ride height. There won't be one air pressure setting that will work in all situations. To help with this you would want the compressor kit part # AL25592 which will allow you the ability to maintain the pressure in the bags so that you can fine tune the air pressure while driving so that you can get the best possible ride height.
view full answer... - Which Weight Rating Should I Use on a Air Lift Air Helper Springs With My 2016 Ford F-150?With the information that you have supplied, the 2016 Ford F-150 Air Lift Ride Control Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL59570 will give you up to 2,000 lbs of load-leveling support. Part # AL59570 will work on the rear for either 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive models of the 2016 Ford. F-150. The 2,000 lbs system will provide enough enhancement to your F-150 to improve the handling of your truck and trailer. However, you can still use the 5,000 lbs Air Lift system and still improve the...

If the system is setup correctly, and is not damaged or worn then something else is wrong. You may need to check the tongue and trailer weights again and make sure you are not overloading it. Also you need to make sure you are not over the capacity of your truck, depending on how the truck is equipped, it may be. Are the trailer weights that were provided with the trailer loaded?

If you liked the Firestone system on your old truck then for your new 2015 F-150 the proper kit is # F2582. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you. You could also use the Air Lift system # AL57385 or # AL59570. The difference between these 2 kits is that # AL59570 is rated for 2,000 pounds...
view full answer... - Air Lift Air Helper Spring System Fit for 2019 Ford F-150I feel LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate system, part # AL88385 would be a fine choice. This system is compatible with in-bed gooseneck or 5th wheel hitches and provide up to 5000 lbs of support. If you were interested in the lower capacity Ride Control system, the # AL59516 you'd looked at isn't compatible with your truck, you'd need to use # AL59570 which is NOT compatible with in-bed hitches. You might also be interested in an on-board compressor system like # AL25856 which would allow you...

- How Do I Prevent a Rough Ride While Unloaded Using Helper SpringsThe Air Lift Ride Control Air Helper Springs part # AL59570 which are a fit for your 2016 Ford F-150 should not really affect the ride quality while the airbags are deflated. How much air pressure are you running while unloaded? The minimum and what I recommend is 5 psi as this is going to prevent the airbags from deforming and it shouldn't really have any effect on ride quality. If after reducing the air pressure you are still not happy with the unloaded ride quality, they do have a...

There isn't a way around that short of replacing the Timbren springs with air bags. With air bags you could adjust the amount of air which will in turn change how stiff the ride is. Less air will allow the stock suspension to travel more. More air will stiffen things up. If you are interested in air bags the most economical option is from Air Lift # AL59570...

First things first I recommend verifying that you have the weight distribution set correctly, as it is normal to still experience some suspension sag, but 3" seems pretty extreme. If you can tell me which brand and model weight distribution system you have I would be happy to provide instructions, or you can refer to the instruction manual that came with your system. If your...

Instead, you can use the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs along with a spacer to make up for the difference from the lift. You will need the following: -Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57268 (2 Wheel Drive Models) -Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57385 (4 Wheel Drive Models) -Air Lift Universal Air Spring...

Instead, the right kit is going to depend on if your '18 F-150 is a 2WD or 4WD. If you have a 2-wheel drive you will need the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57268;...

Instead I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers # AL88268 if your truck is a 2WD, or the # AL88385 if your truck is a 4WD model. Since your truck has a 6" suspension lift you will either need the 6" Spacer # AL52460, or a 4" spacer # AL52440. A lot of times a 6" lift is not truly 6" so I highly recommend...
view full answer... - Should Air Bag Suspension be Added to 2017 Ford F-150 with Weight Distribution SystemIf your trailer has a loaded weight of 8,000 lbs and a loaded tongue weight of about 850 lbs then the only way that your Fastway e2 Weight Distribution (WD) w/ 2-Point Sway Control # FA92-00-1000 would be overloaded is if you have over 150 lbs behind the rear axle of your 2017 Ford F-150 (as this acts like tongue weight for a WD system). Even though an air bag kit like the Air Lift Ride Control Air Helper Springs # AL59570 will help to remove some of the sag out of your truck I do recommend...
view full answer... - Recommended Suspension Enhancement for Towing Cougar Xlite with 2019 Ford F-150I'll start out by saying that because the Sumo Springs # SSR-117-47 offer progressive load control, meaning that they're soft when unloaded and get progressively stiffer as more weight is applied. When the truck is not carrying a load, they won't make contact with the axle, so they'll really do a good job of not effecting the unloaded ride quality of your vehicle. These are compatible with an in bed hitch like the Reese one you mentioned and would be what I recommend because of the ease...

After a year, no problems, still works great. I installed the air lift system to move from Colorado to Michigan 13 hundred miles.my truck was bottomed out, 50 pounds or so,of air the truck was level and the trip went smooth. The rear-end was solid as far as side to side sway there was none. The rest of the suspension worked as if you didnt have your truck really loaded. Worth every penny.
