Photo Comparing LoadLifter 7500 XL with LoadLifter 5000

LoadLifter 7500 XL Ultimate springs have up to 20 percent more air spring volume than LoadLifter 5000 springs. The available volume in these 7" double-bellows air springs enable greater leveling strength at lower pressures. This ensures maximum load-lifting abilities and a great ride quality no matter the load.

This is my second Air Lift 7500XL purchase from Etrailer. Each time the and (actually) everything I've purchased here has been great and the experts that have helped along the way have been top-notch. I highly recommend the Air Lift 7500XL bags, I had them on a 2008 Silverado 2500HD extended cab, and my current truck, 2008 Silverado 2500HD Crew Cab. I haul a 20' double axel steel livestock trailer and slide-in truck camper. My family shows livestock and the air lift system handles it all great.



by:

Etrailer was excellent in pricing, shipping and product information. Great product once installed. The top bolts from frame to air bag are a SOB to get lined up. If Air lift just put some tabs on the bag and holes in the top support to line things up it would be a few minute project, not the hours spent trying to get the 4 upper bolts in. Love the performance once installed. Very helpful in windy conditions in stabilizing ride. Thanks once again etrailer for being by far the best in all ways.

Definitely a heavy duty and easy kit to install. Like others have recommended, save yourself the aggravation and take the rear rims/tires off. Also, I used 1/4" expandable braided sleeve on the air lines for added protection against the outside elements. Lastly, if you have an after market exhaust you will need to buy bigger stainless hose clamps for the heat shield.



by:

Doesn’t fit a 2008 GMC Sierra 2500HD without major fabrication. The brake controller bracket prevents the driver side upper bracket from fitting properly. Is this an issue with the Firestone product? If so I’d like a return and replacement. I am not about to cut off my brake controller bracket. I was really hoping to have these installed for my upcoming camping trip. Very disappointed.

The hard portion of the brake line will need to be bent by hand slightly to ensure it indexes between the upper bracket supports. See figure D5 on page 7 in the manual.



by:
2006 Chevrolet Silverado

Nice kit. I got this one specifically because of the upper bracket. It prevents flex on the frame channel while under load. Good install instructions with pictures.



by:

I needed to reseat one of the airlines into a connector on the right side. Also, the right side air line was a little difficult to install due to exhaust pipe and a rather tight curve in the air line. The instructions were unbelievably good, you get a full 5 stars for that.



by:

Install was super easy. Also a shoutout to Lauren who helped me with my order. Customer service was top notch!



by:

Easy to install. Follow step by step directions and you’ll have no issues. I found that removing the spare tire was necessary and by doing so it gave me more room to work.

2003 Chevrolet Silverado

Awesome good price and great product.
I
have 5000 on my other truck and was excited to try 7500
Only complaint is the mounting plates design and size. Live in snow country with lots of salt. The plates will act as a catch all. Otherwise I love them

2007 Chevrolet Silverado New Body

Thanks guys.. What I needed in a timely fashion



by:
2003 Chevrolet Silverado

Very satisfied delivered very quickly!



by:

Everything went well, except installing the bolts in the top of the bags. Lining up bolt holes took time .bags look good



by:

Easy installation, seems to work well



by:

Game changer for towing heavy. I got manual bags. Didn't want the fuss of running wires and managing more automation. Have had installed for 1 year thereabouts.

Super simple. Hook up, air up and go. I keep a little dc compressor so I can just air up right off the truck.

I did my own install. I'm Not even close to a mechanic. Hardest part was removing the old corroded hardware on the trucks.

Highly recommend



by:

This product makes the ride on the truck much smoother while towing and carrying a load. It was fairly involved installing it due to my having a lift kit on the vehicle...which required quite a bit of modification. Overall, I am pleased.



by:

Excellent customer service! Will install this in a couple days.



by:

Did a great job.With gooseneck & bumper pull trailer.



by:

great customer service very helpful



by:

Great kit! Easy and quick installation.
We
have had them on three RV pickups.....definitely smooth out the trip.
The TX Winter Storm created a two week delay in delivery, it sat for two weeks in a warm UPS warehouse

Great product



by:
2020 GMC Sierra 3500

Looking up the application for my vehicle was simply, straight forward and parts were delivered promptly. I will continue to use etrailer for future purchases



by:

The product was exactly as advertised but without a lift it was impossible to align the bolt holes so I do not suggest tackling the job without a lift. It has functioned perfectly to this point



by:

Easy install. Works great, other then one side leaks and needs to be refilled quite often if towing for a trip.



by:

Easy install. Excellent performance. Great fitment.



by:

Everything looks good and built well, I will send more in a couple weeks when I have time to install them.

  • Is There an Air Lift 7500 XL Series Suspension Kit that Fits 2002 Chevy Silverado 2500HD
    The 7500XL series you mentioned only fits the 2500HD models of the 2002 Silverado. That has to be what you have since you have the Duramax Diesel engine. So the part # AL57575 will fit your truck and work well. The way these install shouldn't be a problem at all with custom exhaust.

  • Fit of Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 on 2006 Duramax With Relocated Shock Absorbers
    The AirLift # AL57575 is designed for a stock suspension setup, and without knowing exactly how your specific suspension is set up, I couldn't say with certainty whether the # AL57575 would fit. What I can do however, is link you to the installation instructions which show full-color photos of exactly how the # AL57575 Load Lifter air helper springs will sit on the vehicle once installed. You should be able to compare the photos to your existing suspension, and determine if everything...

  • Will Air Bags Fit 2007 Chevy Silverado 2500HD With Fifth Wheel Hitch
    Yes, the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs # AL57575 will fit your 2007 Chevy Silverado 2500HD with a fifth wheel hitch installed and be the perfect way to help keep you level and improve the ride of your truck while you are towing. I also strongly recommend installing the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System # AL74000 with the helper springs because it has a wireless remote control which allows you to adjust the air pressure in each bag from the comfort of your truck's...

  • Air Bag Mounting Location on a 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD
    The space between the top of the leaf springs and bottom of the frame rail on your 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD is not ideal for air suspension. I do have an air suspension option for you, however, neither AirLift or Firestone make an airbag kit that attaches to the top of the factory leaf springs on your vehicle. For an airbag kit that attaches to the outside face of the frame rail and on the side of the axle closest to the tire, I recommend using the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air...

  • Recommended Air Lift Air Helper Spring System for 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500HD
    According to our fitguide and Air Lift, their # AL57575 Load Lifter 5000 air helper springs are indeed a fit for a 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD, whether it be a RWD or a 4WD model. You might also be interested in an on-board compressor kit like part # AL25854 which would allow you to add or remove pressure from the system with the push of a button. I've linked to a product video for the # AL57575 as well as to a video showing a typical install of the compressor kit I mentioned.

  • Will Air Pressure Transfer Between Air Bags With Union Tee Installed
    Installing the Union Tee # AL21838 with your # AL57575 will tie the pressure of the two air bags together. So yes, a shift in a very heavy load like a truck camper will potentially result in air being forced from one into the other. The reason I say potentially is because it depends on the pressure you are keeping in the air bags. If you have them both at the max 100 psi I would expect full support between the two. If you are keeping them at 95 psi there won't be much room for pressure...

  • 2 inch Air Lift Spacer Kit for Loadlifter 7500 XL Air Helper Spings
    I have a solution for you but no I do not have a taller air bag for the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs item # AL57575. The Air Lift Universal Air Spring Spacers for LoadLifter 5000 and 7500XL item # AL52420 are 2 inch spacers. These steel spacers go between the air springs and the mounting brackets, filling the gap between the air springs and your suspension.

  • Air Lift Load Lifter 5000 Kit that fits 2016 Ram 2500
    I checked with Air Lift and the 5813 that you see on the side of the bag is not the part number. The air bag part number that your 2016 Ram 2500 would use is actually 58437. The correct Air Lift kit you'd need is the part # AL57289 though as the bag you have is most likely not correct size for your truck.

  • Recommended PSI For Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs on 2007 GMC Sierra 2500
    I believe you are referring to the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs part # AL57575 for the 2007 GMC Sierra 2500. There is not a specific PSI per LB of weight when it comes to the Air Lift springs. They can be adjusted between 5-100 PSI. I recommend to fill them until your setup is level but do not exceed 100 PSI. It it easier to use a compressor if you do not already have one I recommend to take a look at the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System part # AL74000. This will...

  • Compatibility of AirLift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Springs on 2005 GMC Sierra Utility Body
    The Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57575 will work well for the aftermarket utility body as long as your 2005 GMC Sierra is a 2500 or 3500 model. It will mount directly to the truck without any issues. If you are interested in a compressor for the air bags to give you that adjustment convenience I recommend the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Remote - Bluetooth - Single Path # AL25980.

  • Air Bag Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 ZR2

  • Recommended Air Bags For A 2007 GMC Sierra 3500
    When it comes to choosing between the Air Lift 7,500 and the Air Lift 5,000 I recommend going with The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57275. The 7,500 pound air springs will be over kill for you and will give you an uncomfortable stiff ride. The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57275 have a 5,000 pound weight capacity and has an adjustable air pressure between 5 psi to 100 psi.

  • Do Air Lift LoadLifter 7500XL Air Springs for 2001 Chevy Silverado 2500 have Internal Jounce Bumpers
    Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle Item # AL57575 does not have the internal jounce bumper. Those are found in the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs line such as # AL88275. The Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs # AL57575 have Air Lift's exclusive upper and lower roll plates which are basically the same in all the LoadLifter kits. I agree with your solutions to the problem: moving weight around and adding additional support. You could...

  • Which Air Bag Suspension Kit Is Best For 2021 Ford F-450 Super Duty 4x4?
    For your 2021 Ford F450 Super Duty 4x4, you'll want to go with Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57577. I recommend adding a compressor kit so that you can adjust the air bags from the cab of your truck. Firestone Air Command I - Analog Gauge w/ Heavy-Duty Compressor - Single Path - 150 psi # F2097 would work well for your setup. I attached demonstration videos that you can check out.

  • Inflation Port Size on Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 Air Bags
    The inflation port on the airbags included with the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs part # AL57575 use a 1/4" NPT fitting. If you need a replacement for this system then you can use part # F3031-1. I spoke with my contact at Air Lift to confirm this.

    The correct Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs for your 2022 Ram 3500 is part # AL57531 - this will work as long as you don't have a factory air suspension system. I also recommend picking up an air compressor kit like the Air Lift Load Controller System # AL25856 so you can monitor and adjust the air in both bags as needed and you don't have to plan out any stops just to mess with your air bags. The parts # AL57575 and # AL86KV you referenced are essentially the same thing...

    Yes, the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Ultimate Air Helper Springs # AL57575 are going to be compatible with the RoadActive Suspension # RAS3611-HD. Both of these mount to different parts of your 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 classic so they will not interfere with each other. I do recommend installing the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System # AL58WQ to adjust the air pressure in the air springs.

    The best airbags we have for your 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 are the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2250. These airbags will do an excellent job of helping maintain stability and support when you are using your truck bed camper or towing your 5th wheel trailer. They will also not interfere with the frame brackets you have for your hitch which can be a problem for some airbag kits. I recommend Firestone airbags over Air Lift airbags as they have a stronger sleeve and will...

    I have an air bag option for your 2023 Ford F-350 Super Duty 4WD, but the Air Lift # AL57575 is only designed for select 2001-2010 Chevy/GMC trucks and won't work on your truck. Instead I recommend the Firestone # F35FV which give you 5,000lbs of load leveling support which is plenty for 99% of trucks towing on the road. If you have an extremely heavy 5th wheel trailer, or a really heavy gooseneck trailer then you may want to step up to the 7,500lb rated # F95FV instead. I also highly...
