Features to know about

Stay Level and Confident Under Load: Up to 5,000 lbs of Rear Suspension Support

Heavy trailers and bed loads can make the rear of your truck sag and your steering feel light. LoadLifter 5000 air springs add up to 5,000 lbs of load-leveling support to keep your suspension level and balanced. They distribute weight evenly across all four wheels, helping maintain steering response, braking control, and proper headlight aim even with a full load or trailer hooked up.

Dial In the Ride You Want: Adjustable from 5 psi to 100 psi

Every haul is different, and this system lets you fine-tune for each one. You can inflate the springs manually through easy-access valves to match your load or drop to the minimum when driving empty for a smoother ride. Each spring can be adjusted independently for side-to-side leveling when cargo or hitch weight isn’t perfectly centered.

Smooth Out Rough Roads: Reinforced Air Springs Absorb Shock and Sway

Hauling heavy cargo or towing can bring harsh bumps, sway, and bounce. The two-ply, fabric-reinforced rubber bags cushion road shock while cutting down on sway and body roll. Upper and lower roll plates protect the bellows from contact damage and boost overall spring strength so the ride stays steady mile after mile.

Built to Last Where It Counts: Corrosion-Resistant Zytel Endcaps and Heavy-Duty Hardware

Air Lift designed these springs for serious duty with details that hold up over time. The endcaps are made from high-strength Zytel nylon that’s lighter, stronger, and more corrosion resistant than steel, eliminating rust issues that cause leaks in lesser systems. All mounting brackets, lines, and manual inflation valves are included for straightforward installation using basic tools. With a lifetime warranty and a 60-day satisfaction guarantee, these LoadLifters are built for years of real work without sagging under pressure.

They are great. They fit just like they said. No drilling, no nothing. Just put them in and go. Love them.

Outstanding service and excellent customer service



by:

The 5000 arrived when they said it would. Watched the video along with the printed instructions and had them installed in several hours. Called customer service one time and they were quick to answer my question.



by:

The instructions leave A LOT to be desired. The color of the instructions is in black and white which makes quite a few of the pictures hard to decipher. Thankfully, YouTube saved me time and frustration. I do wish the hardware was black and not bare metal. The end result is great and functionality is hard to argue with. SO much better rowing our 38’ camper!

Have you been able to take the camper out yet now that you have these new air bags on your truck?



by:

Great Fit - Install was simple once figuring out the correct sides and orientation (instructions could be a bit clearer on this). Other than that, they are perfect for my needs!



by:

This air bag kit was easy to install. Some of the instructions was a little vague to understand. I had it installed in 2 1/2 hrs. I would recommend this kit to anyone looking for a air bag kit.



by:

Very pleased with the product come in on time install very easily going to get a set for the front made a world of difference in ride my truck bought them for the heavy load carry
actually for weight distribution on the back but haven't even hooked it up to my toy Hauler yet

Great product after a year and works like it did when I purchased it. Definitely purchase you’ll really improve your truck weight when pulling.

I like them, but I wish they would have put a tee in with the tubing. I set mine the same



by:

Awesome addition to my truck. First picture shows how much the truck was squatted, the second is after installation and is now level. Ride and drive are so much better. I installed myself with no special tools. Took about 2 hours. Instructions and videos on web site were a big help! Thanks etrailer!



by:

Arrived very quickly and support was awesome! Now to install and we are ready!



by:

Fits perfect on my truck and was super simple to put on.



by:

The install was easy. The instructions do not address the fact that you should not allow the axle to hang on the air bags when the vehicle is on a lift or jack stands. I included pictures of the chains I made to support the weight of the axle when on my lift. Also a pro tip is to smear a small amount of Teflon thread sealant on the tube to lubricate and help the tube to seal in the fitting, I included pictures of the sealant applied.



by:

These air bags seem to really help for leveling my truck when towing my 5th wheel camper. I set mine up for use with a portable air compressor which works fine, but a compressor in the truck would have been a more convenient choice.



by:

Kit has arrived on time as promised. The box has a hole in it but it looks to be complete. I will be in contact with you if I run into problems later. Thanks for the prompt delivery and good price.

Nice product, very easy to install on my 2024 ram 2500. Worked well towing my 40 ft. 5th wheel camper with a bed weight of around 2,700 lbs.

Installation required the etrailer video, all went as planned in about 3 hours with many interruptions..

Very easy to install and works very well to improve the pulling of our 5th wheel toy hauler. 2023 Ram 2500

I really like the air spring addition to my truck. They were easy to install and I think they may even improve the ride when my truck is empty.

@Jerry Nice! That's quite the truck and camper setup. I've been going back and forth on getting a diesel truck over the years, but decided I don't pull anything quite heavy enough to justify it haha.

Airlift 5000 arrived on time and was not complicated to install, working good for me. Pulling a fifth wheel camper and it helped to tighten up my suspension and make it handle better.

  • What is the Difference in Air Lift Air Bags AL88289 and AL57289 for a 2015 Ram 2500?
    Hey Tyson! The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs item # AL88289 have a built in jounce bumper similar to a bump stop, whereas the item # AL57289 does not. These are helpful if you want to run your air bags with little or no air pressure in them. Both the Air Lift item # AL57289 and item # AL88289 fit the 2015 Ram 2500 2WD and 4WD models. They are compatible with in bed hitches as well. For an air compressor, I recommend the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System item...

  • Which Air Lift Kit for 2020 Ford F-350 Towing 5th Wheel
    Hey Dan, I would go with the 5,000 lb rated part # AL35FJ for your 2020 Ford F-350 as it will give you the support you are wanting without affecting suspension height like you had read about.

  • Best Air Bag Kit For 2024 Ram 250 Power Wagon And PullRite SuperGlide Brackets
    Hey Mike, thanks for reaching out. Air bags are going to be the best option for this. For your 2024 Ram 2500 Power Wagon I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57289. The main reason being the air bag brackets are made to be compatible with the in-bed 5th wheel hitch brackets. This way you can beef up the suspension and level out your ride while you are towing. Then you can reduce the PSI during normal driving to get back to the normal factory ride. A lot of other...

  • Will Airbags Work with the Articulink Rear Suspension on a 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon
    The articulink rear suspension on your 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon will not cause any issues with a set of airbags or a 5th wheel hitch because they all install in slightly different locations on the vehicle and do not counteract one another. For a set of airbags, I recommend using the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57289 because they do not require any drilling into the truck frame and they do not interfere with the brackets for a 5th wheel hitch. The Air Lift LoadLifter...

  • Will Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Bags Fit 2023 Ram 2500 With 5th Wheel Rails Installed
    Hello Lee; the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 # AL57289 is compatible with an in bed hitch. This means the air bag kit can be installed on your 2023 Ram 2500 with the rails. On some trucks it can be an issue but I'm happy to say you won't have that problem. Air bags are going to be the best way to level you out and help reduce wear on your other suspension components. They're also great since you can run them at the minimum 5 psi when you aren't towing so they won't impact unloaded ride quality. I...

  • Can Two Sets of Air Lift Air Bag Kits Install at the Same Time on 2019 Ram 2500
    Are you wanting to install two sets of Air Lift air bags at the same time? Or are you wanting to swap the bags from the kit that has the inner jounce bumpers to the version that does not have them? The air bag kits install in the same place as the Timbrens so the are not compatible together.

  • Choosing Between Air Lift Load Lifter 5000 or 7500 For 2018 Ram 2500 Towing 5th Wheel
    It sounds like the purpose of getting the air helper spring would be to counteract the 1 inch compression you're getting in your rear suspension caused by the pin weight of your 5th wheel. If that's the case, I believe that the AirLift 5000 would be sufficient, as the pin weight of your 5th wheel is very unlikely to be more than 5000 lbs. When you're not towing, the 7500 series would make for harsher ride quality, so I'd go with the 5000. The 7500 series is better suited for folks that...

  • Do I Need 5,000 lbs or 7,500 lbs Air Bags on a 2019 Ram 2500?
    For your 2019 Ram 2500, I recommend the 5,000 lbs Air Lift LoadLifter Air Helper Springs item # AL57289 over the higher capacity 7,500 lbs item # AL57589. 5,000 lbs capacity is more than enough for your truck. The higher capacity ones would affect the comfort of your ride when you are not towing a loaded down trailer. These air springs are compatible with in bed hitches and will keep your rear end from squatting when you are towing your 28' deck over trailer or hauling a heavy payload in...

  • What Are The Differences Between The Air LoadLifter Air Helper Springs 5000 And 7500 XL
    Both of the Air Lift Loadlifters, the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle, part # AL57289, and the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle, part # AL57589, will fit your 2022 Ram 2500. One of the differences between the two is the weight ratings are different for each option. One provides 5,000 lbs of leveling support and the other one provides 7,500 lbs of leveling support. The 7500 XL has a larger air volume, so they provide more support. You...

    The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers part # AL88289 could potentially affect the ride quality in a negative manner if you were to hit a dip or pot hole in the road while unloaded because of the internal jounce bumpers which is why I recommend using the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57289 instead. There will be very little to no effect on ride quality while unloaded and using these airbags. Please keep in mind that the...

  • Does the Air Lift Air Shock Controller Compressor System Have a Minimum Pressure Setting?
    No, It does not because item # AL25804 is for air shocks but I have one that does. The Air Lift Load Controller II Compressor System for Air Helper Springs item # AL25592 has a minimum pressure setting of 5 psi which can be adjusted to 10 psi.

  • Is Compressor System Required for LoadLifter 5000 Springs on a 2017 Ram 2500 w/ Bilstein Shocks

Reasons being that a compressor system keeps you from having to hunt down a compressor when you need to inflate your air bags and also provides an active monitor that gives you advanced diagnostic reports so you know if you have a leak or a compression...

  • Wiring Diagram For an AirLift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Spring System
    I've attached the wiring diagram for you to check out, but it sounds like the compressor for your # AL57289 is not getting power. The wiring harness has an ignition wire which if not connected to an ignition source, will not wake up the compressor and manifold until it senses vehicle movement. You will want to check this wire for power if it's connected to a ignition source.

  • Can Vehicle with 6 inch Lift Use Air Lift Suspension Enhancement Kit

  • Helper Air Bag Springs for a 2016 Ram 2500 Towing a Fifth Wheel
    On the AirLift LoadLifter 5000 kit, part # AL88289, the jounce springs won't engage if there is some pressure in the airbags, and you aren't hitting a significant bump in the road. The jounce spring will only engage after the suspension and airbags themselves take any initial pressure. Since the airbags will require at least 5 PSI of pressure in them at all times, the jounce won't engage as often as it seems that it should.The urethane of the jounces also engages smoother than traditional...

  • Best Suspension Enhancement For 2021 Ram 2500 With 5th Wheel Hitch to Level Ride
    Towing a 5th wheel trailer can definitely put strain on the rear of any truck, even one as robust as your 2021 Ram 2500, so suspension enhancement is always recommended. The best way to level out your Ram is with air bags, and the option that is compatible with a 5th wheel hitch are air bags from Air Lift (just keep in mind air bags won't fit if your Ram has the factory air suspension). With a 1,225 lb pin weight, you can go with the 5,000 lb capacity air bags and get the support you need;...

    If you're looking for the most "bang for your buck" then you'd be better suited installing air springs like the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57289. These air springs have a 5,000lb capacity and 5 psi - 100 psi adjustability to fit a multitude of uses. If you'd like an on-board compressor to be able to adjust the psi of your airbags while on the go then I recommend the Air Lift Load Controller Compressor System for Air Helper Springs- Heavy Duty - Dual Path...

  • Suspension Enhancement that Fits 2020 Ram 2500 that Won't Interfere with Suspension Articulation
    Since the air bag suspension enhancement kits like the # AL57289 that you referenced would limit your suspension articulation since they attach at the top and bottom of the bracket you'd be better off with a kit like the Timbren part # TDR2500D which only attaches on one side giving you the support you want without limiting suspension in anyway.

  • Can I Manually Inflate My Airbags Incase of an Emergency if My Air Compressor Fails?
    Yes, you can install the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System item # AL74000EZ and still inflate your air bags manually in case of an emergency. You would need to install the Union Tee for 1/4" Tubing item # F3025-1 on each air bag line if you are running a dual path set up and keep the Schrader valves installed on the Air Lift LoadLifter Air Helper Springs item # AL57289.

    For a rear lift of 2-1/2 inches on your 2020 Ram 2500 and the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57289, use the Air Lift Universal Air Spring Spacers for LoadLifter 5000 and 7500XL - 2" Lift # AL52420.

  • Which Air Lift Load Lifter 5000 Fits 2022 Ram 2500
    Most likely not as the bags are typically different sizes between vehicle fits so the best solution would be an all new Air Lift Load Lifter like the part # AL57289 which fits your 2022 Ram 2500. If you let me know what your old truck was though I can check to see if the old kit uses same bag.

  • Recommended Air Springs and Dual Zone Compressor for 2019 Ram 2500 with In-Bed Hitch
    The Firestone kits are not compatible with in-bed hitches like your B&W. My recommendation for your application is the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57289 which is compatible with in-bed hitches. Then for your compressor system I recommend the Air Lift Load Controller Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Standard Duty - Dual Path # AL25852. This will give you the side to side adjustability for off-center loads.

  • Recommendation for Best Air Suspension Kit and On-Board Compressor for 2020 Ram 2500
    For maximum durability, go with the AirLIft Load Lifter 5000 Ultimate , part # AL88289. This system uses an internal jounce bumper for additional stability. The springs themselves are 2 ply with a reinforcing fabric layer for extra toughness. The # AL57289 regular LoadLifter 5000 kit would work fine for you but it does not have the additional stability gained from the jounce bumper. Both kits are compatible with your Ram Factory 5th Wheel prep package. Like all air bag systems, you can...
