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.

  • Air Lift LoadLifter Air Bag Helper Springs For a 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4
    Air lift offers their basic LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57388 and the Ultimate Springs # AL88388 which fit your 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4. I would recommend installing the Ultimate system as they include the internal jounce bumpers inside the air springs. These greatly help to reduce bouncing when towing heavy loads and they can also work to protect the air springs from being pinched should you have a sudden deflation. The Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System # AL74000 will...

  • Air Bag Kit For 2024 GMC 1500 4x4 With Adaptive Ride Control
    Hey Philip, thanks for reaching out. The Airlift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57388 are a confirmed fit for a 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 4x4 with adaptive ride control. We have had several of our own customers report back to us that this kit does fit models with adaptive ride control, so we know it will work. This will go a long way to help eliminate any/all squatting and keep everything at the stock ride height. It is a good idea to add an onboard compressor system. For that I recommend...

  • Do I Need Air Lift Spacer For 1" Rear Lift On 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4X?
    Hello Eric, thanks for reaching out. Since you only installed a 1" lift on the rear of your 2024 GMC 1500 AT4X, you should not need an additional spacer. In order to confirm this, you will need to measure the distance between the two air bag brackets once installed and then subtract the height of the air bag. If the difference is 1" or less you will not need a spacer. If the gap is more than 1" you will want to add the spacers part # AL52420.

  • Troubleshooting Front Axle Weight Not Changing with Boat Loaded Up
    Hey Jim, thanks for reaching out! That does sound pretty weird, but it could be how the boat was loaded, if the axle(s) are in a position to share the load, and how much tongue weight was added to the trailer. Also, did you have the trailer leveled out when you were measuring the front axle weight? Basically, the only way I can see the front axle weight not changing at all is if something bad is going on with your suspension.

  • Are There Different Air Spring Fitments Between 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali And Standard Models
    For air springs there isn't a differentiation between Denali and and standard models on the 2021 GMC Sierra 1500.
