5,000-lb Capacity. LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate air springs have internal bumpers, so you get the adjustable load support of air springs and the comfort and reliability of jounce springs. Jounces also work as a fail-safe if air springs lose pressure.

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 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 3/4- or 1-ton pickup, motor home, or commercial 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 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 air bags also have Air Lift's exclusive roll plates, which protect the air springs 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 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 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 (1 for each spring). These 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. LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate air springs have internal bumpers, so you get the adjustable load support of air springs and the comfort and reliability of jounce springs. Jounces also work as a fail-safe if air springs lose pressure.The kit works very well, the driver side install took 4/5 hours with all the extra hoses gas lines, vent tube mount in the way. Had to cut a extra bracket which was under the bump stop and went up the side of the frame, wouldn't let the air bag bolt move over far enough to align with the old bump stop hole. Once that was removed everything was great. The driver took just over an hour. Finding a good location for the airlines still haven't they are in the fender area tucked away for now. They work great, now just seeing what is the best psi for my van. Didn't install a compressor maybe in the future I carry a compressor for work anyway so not hard to add air if needed. Thanks would recommend using these. Plus cheaper and easier that buying new springs and replacing them.
I received my parts at 2:00 pm had the airbags installed by 6:00pm, everything fit perfectly, I recommend this product….
2014 Ford E350 srw cut-a-way, use to be a plumbers truck so it was loaded constantly and springs were worn. Airbags almost eliminated sway, soften the ride and leveled out the back as my battery bank caused a lean. Definitely recommend this product!!
I haven't installed the air bag system yet, but the help I received was great.
They’ve worked out great, very convenient to have on our older RV.
Excellent customer service fast delivery. Thank you William.
So far so good. Raised the rear of the motor home 3 inches. I needed them because the springs have gone weak and the vehicle would drag on bumps. It was harder taking the old bump stops off then putting the bags on. I don’t think much of the heat shield for the exhaust though. All that does is give more metal to get hot to heat up the air bag. Instead I purchased wrap exhaust tape to make sure no heat goes near the bag. Haven’t driven it yet due to our lovely Az governor having us on lock down. Will let you know how it handles bumps when I run over him. LOL
The air suspension bolted into place with no issues ... perfect fit. The hardware for the air pump and gauge was complete. Had the job done in a day.
Decently easy installation. Required some grinding around rear axle breather. Can't wait to try on the road

After a year of using the bags I still couldn’t be happier. Air level holds and still the best ride that van has ever been
