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

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Air Lift Rear Air Bag Kit that Fits 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon
    The Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL part # AL57289 is a fit for your 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon. I attached an install video for this on a similar 2018 Ram 2500 for you to check out as well.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • What is the Unloaded Ride Quality Using Air Lift LoadLifter Air Bags on a 2017 Ram 2500
    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...

  • Is Compressor System Required for LoadLifter 5000 Springs on a 2017 Ram 2500 w/ Bilstein Shocks
    While a compressor system like the Air Lift WirelessAIR # AL74000 isn't mandatory for the Air Lift LoadLifter 5,000 Air Helper Springs # AL57289 on your 2017 Ram 2500 with Bilstein Shocks, it is definitely something that we highly recommend. 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...

  • 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;...

  • Can Vehicle with 6 inch Lift Use Air Lift Suspension Enhancement Kit
    For vehicles with 6 inch suspension lifts you would need to use the part # F2375 which is a 6 inch spacer kit. This will work well with the Air Lift kit part # AL57289 that you referenced.

  • 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.

  • Recommended Air Lift Air Suspension for Rear Axle of 2016 Ram 2500
    We have two different Air Lift systems that'll work, but the right system for you will depend on how you mainly use your truck. If you tow infrequently, or carry heavy loads in the truck bed infrequently, the # AL57289 from Air Lift with its 5000 lb capacity would work well for you. If you tow or haul fairly often with heavier weights, the # AL88289 Load Lifter Ultimate would be a better choice because of its internal bump stops which help reduce body roll in turns and also prevents the...

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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.
