Specs:

  • Load-leveling capacity: up to 5,000 lbs
    • LoadLifter 5000 springs will not increase your vehicle's weight-carrying capacity. Do not exceed the manufacturer's recommended weight limit.
  • Adjustable air pressure: 5 psi - 100 psi
  • Lifetime warranty
  • 60-Day satisfaction guarantee


Air Lift's LoadLifter 5000 was designed with an exact purpose: to provide full-time, first-class support to your 1/2-ton, 3/4-ton, 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 lbs of load-leveling capacity and distributes the weight of your payload to all 4 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, 2-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.

  • Recommended Air Bag Kit for a 1999 Chevrolet Silverado With a 6" Lift
    Matt, the Air Lift SlamAir Air Helper Springs for Lowered Trucks # AL59202 would work with a stock 1999 Chevrolet Silverado, but since you have a 6" lift it's not going to. Instead, I'd suggest going with the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57272 with the Air Lift Universal Air Spring Spacers for LoadLifter 5000 and 7500XL # AL52460. These springs, paired with the spacers, is going to work with your truck and provide you with up to 5,000 lbs of load leveling capacity....

  • Lift Spacer for AirLift AL57272 Air Helper Springs for 2006 GMC Sierra w/ 6 Inch Rough Country Lift
    I spoke with my contact in the Tech Services department at Air Lift, and was told that if your lift is actually 6 inches, you would indeed need the 52465 angled spacers which we offer as part # AL79GV. My Air Lift representative suggested that you confirm that the lift in the rear IS actually 6 inches. Some trucks are equipped with a level lift, which raises the nose of the vehicle by 6 inches and the rear by 4. If that's what you have you'd need the # AL49GV spacer instead.

  • Do Any Air Lift Air Springs for 2006 Chevy Silverado Include Compressor
    Compressors are not included with air springs because not everyone wants to use them so they are available separately. For your 2006 Chevy Silverado, if you have a 1500HD or 1500LD the correct part is the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57272. If you have a 2500HD or 3500 the correct part is the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57275. You can then use a compressor that will make it much easier to inflate the air bags, the Air Lift Load Controller II Compressor...

  • Is Air Lift Spacer Needed for 2003 GMC Sierra 1500 with 1" Rear Lift
    The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57272 for a 2003 GMC Sierra 1500 would not require an additional spacer for any lift under two inches per Air Lift. The air bags will be able to compensate for the extra gap between the frame and axle under this amount. That said, I have attached for you below a diagram provided from the manufacturer on measuring for the correct lift spacer. The above Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs has six inch tall air bags.

  • Which Air Lift Suspension Kit Fits 2005 Silverado 1500 EXT 2WD
    Since you have the 2WD version of the 2005 Chevy Siliverado 1500 you'd need to go with the # AL57250 as the # AL57272 does not fit the 2WD models.

  • Recommended Air Bags for a 2003 GMC Sierra 1500 LD
    Yes, we do have air helper spring options for a 2003 GMC Sierra 1500 LD. I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57272 which is the only available double bellow system. This kit is a direct bolt-on fit with no drilling required for installation. It allows you to adjust the pressure inside each bag for the perfect mix between support and comfort when hauling or towing heavy loads. If the vehicle has been lifted in the rear then you'll need a spacer to account...

  • Recommended No-Drill Airbag Kit for a 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500
    I have the perfect set of airbags for your 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500 that will not require you drill into the frame for installation. Depending on where you choose to mount the inflation valves, you may need to drill two small 5/16" holes to run the lines to an access point outside the vehicle. I recommend using the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57272 as this is the only true bolt-on airbag kit we have for your vehicle. The kit comes with everything needed for installation....

  • Recommended Air Helper Spring System for 2000 Chevy Sliverado
    The 2000 model year was a split model year for GM trucks. Chevy produced two distinct truck models, the C/K series and the Silverado. If you have a 2000 Silverado, the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 system you'd already looked at, part # AL57272 would be an excellent choice. An air bag system like this would allow you to fine tune the amount of suspension support to the weight of the load you're towing or hauling. This is a no-drill application. If your 2000 Chevy truck is a C/K series, you'd...

  • What Is Needed To Install Air Bags On a 2004 Chevy Silverado 1500 With a 6" Pro Comp Lift Kit?
    First Dustin, we need to determine how much lift the rear of your 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 has with the 6" Pro Comp lift kit. Some kits will have a full 6" lift which would require the 6" Spacers # AL52460 while others only have a 4" rear lift which levels the truck out front to rear. If you have a 4" rear lift you will need the 4" Spacers # AL52440. Both of these spacer kits will work with the Air Lift Air Bags # AL57272 you found but I recommend checking out the Kit # AL88272. These...

  • Recommended Airbag Kit for a 2005 Chevy Silverado 1500 HD
    If you are referring to a "heavy half silverado" as being a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 HD then yes, the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2190 will work well for you as long as your truck does not have the quadrasteer feature or an in-bed hitch such as a 5th wheel or gooseneck. If you do have an in-bed hitch then you will want to use the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57272 as these airbags mount underneath the frame rail and will allow for the use...

  • Rear Axle Air Bag Compatibility with B&W Turnoverball Under-bed Gooseneck BWGNRK1059
    You are smart to check ahead of time on the compatibility of a rear axle air bag kit with an in-bed hitch such as the B&W Turnoverball Under-bed gooseneck # BWGNRK1059. Some air bag kits work fine with in-bed hitches but not all of them! If you have a 1500HD or 1500LD 4WD you can use AirLift kit # AL57272. To make the most of the air bag installation I recommend including an on-board compressor kit # AL25980. This allows you adjust bag pressure on the fly which makes it MUCH easier to...

  • Recommended Air Spring Kit for 2004 Chevy Silverado 1500
    If your 2004 Chevy Silverado 1500 is the 4WD model, I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57272. This kit uses custom brackets for a no-drill installation and will provide you with 5,000 pounds of load-leveling capacity. These will do a really nice job of enhancing the rear suspension and reducing rear end sag when hooking up your trailer or loading cargo into the bed. You can manually adjust the air pressures so that you have a level ride regardless of the type...

  • Can Air Bags Be Installed On a 2005 Chevy Silverado with 8" Lift
    We do offer air bags for a lifted 2005 Chevrolet Silverado but you will need spacers to match the ACTUAL lift in the rear. The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57272 are what I recommend and you can then add the correct Air Lift Universal Air Spring Spacers like part # AL52460 which is the highest avavailbe. Please note, an advertised 8" lift does not mean the truck has been lifted 8" in the rear, it's usually less but you can confirm with the lift manufacturer.
