Heavy loads can make the rear of your truck sag, throwing off your steering, braking, and headlight aim. The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate air helper springs provide up to 5,000 lbs of load-leveling capacity to keep you level when hauling or towing. By pairing these air bags with your existing suspension, you reduce stress on factory components and maintain even weight distribution across all four wheels. Whether you’re loaded down or pulling a trailer, your truck stays steady and predictable on the road.
Rough roads and heavy loads don’t have to mean a harsh ride. Each air spring has an internal urethane jounce spring that absorbs bumps and shocks before they reach the cab. These jounces engage progressively—the more you load up, the stiffer they become—helping prevent bottoming out and reducing sway or bounce through corners. Even if your air pressure runs low, the internal jounce springs temporarily support the suspension so you can stay safely on the move.
Every load is different, so being able to adjust your suspension makes a big difference. The LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate lets you dial in air pressure anywhere from 5 psi to 100 psi for precise support. Inflate both sides equally for front-to-back leveling or adjust them independently to correct side-to-side lean from uneven loads. Manual inflation valves and air lines are included for simple setup, with optional compressor systems available if you want in-cab control later on.
These air springs are made with 2-ply, fabric-reinforced rubber that holds up under heavy use. Each one includes Air Lift’s exclusive upper and lower roll plates to guard against punctures and add load capacity. High-strength Zytel nylon endcaps are lighter and stronger than steel while resisting corrosion over time. With urethane internals that stay reliable in hot or cold conditions and a lifetime warranty backing it all up, this setup is designed for years of dependable suspension support.
Installing real suspension support doesn’t have to mean a trip to the shop. The LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate kit includes mounting brackets and hardware for straightforward installation using standard tools. Once mounted, just inflate through the manual valves—no specialized equipment required. It’s a solid upgrade that fits into a weekend project while giving your truck a major boost in capability and confidence under load.

These airbags definitely give me a much better ride due to Toyota using coil springs in the rear. I would have given them 5 starts but one of the airbags inset thread was damaged and I was lucky enough to have the right tap. It wasn't noticed till I had my truck on the lift and the first bag installed. If i wasn't able to do that I would have had to uninstall the first bag and wait for a replacement. I understand these things happen but check your parts thoroughly before installing. I would purchase these bags again if needed.
Installed on a 2024 GMC Sierra Crew SLT with rear poly mono springs. This worked great and the install was easy. It took me about 2.5 hours on a 4 post lift, but you could do it in the driveway if you needed to. I reached out to airlift to make sure it would work on a vehicle with mono-springs and they were not 100 percent sure if it would. So I took a chance and it worked flawlessly!
2021 Ram 2500 install was easy, it took a while to run the airlines. I pull a 5th wheel camper 700 miles each trip, the air bags eliminated the side by side roll and keeps the bed level. So far I am very satisfied with the results. When I am not pulling a trailer I lower the air bags to 10lbs for a better ride.
I explained the size/weight of the load I carry in my duallie. A 5000lb slide in camper and a 28' twin engine jet boat. These bags are probably great for their respective load, but I was convinced by the sales team at etrailer that these would be sufficient. They aren't. I can put 100lbs of air (the max) in and truck still sags. Should have gone with the 7500 lb bags.
works very well. i installed them on a 2012 Ford F-150 towing a Grand Design 2600 RB. the airbags substantially helped cut down the bouncing when going over big bumps, bridge decks, etc. also helps with the side winds. very happy with set up.
Just had them installed, I’ll be hauling a 9800lb travel trailer soon. That will be the real test!
Added 40lbs of air, they sit the rear of truck up nicely.
etrailer delivered these in four days which was a pleasant surprise. The Load Lifter 5000 were easy to install and all of the parts fit perfectly. The installation instructions were spot on as well. I tried to save a little time by leaving the wheels mounted, that turned out to be a mistake, so I removed the wheels mounted on the second side and saved about 45 minutes. The loadlifters perform exactly how I want. They took all of the sway out of my tundra while hauling my truck camper.
The truck rides much better now, though I haven’t yet towed with the air bags yet. The bags took out that annoying side to side movement.
Just great!
Easy to install.
Deliver was awesome, installation was a little more complicated than expected but had installed big wig sway bar and torklift lower wedges added some unexpected fitment modifications but I can say has delivered results I wanted.
The AirLift 5000 work great. The installation brackets didn't work for my Toyota RV & I had to fabricate the ones that'd mount to the frame. Otherwise, awesome improvement to the stability & ride.
Good system seems to made very well. I also got the Airlift Compressor as well Would have done 5 stars but the quick mount doesn't fit a 2025 F250 frame. About an inch to small. DIRECTIONS are terrible, pictures are blurry. Had to you tube the install. for that much money a couple of more pages explaining better with clear pictures.
Excellent product. I had the old version on an old truck and had issues- especially not having the jounce bumper. This new one has been excellent. Only thing I'd change is... spend a little extra and get the pump and wireless control... that my next upgrade. It's easy enough to adjust these with my cordless inflator...but that extra little bit will really make it a 5 start setup. 2020 Tundra TRD sport, tracrac, 4' tool boxes, access tonneau and bedside 1500. truck sagged without the airbags.
Works amazing. The install was a little more difficult than it appears… It actually took me and a couple other guys five hours to get it completely installed.
There was a lot of cutting/grinding metal to make pieces fit properly, and had to drop the axel completely… I think that’s only for my gen 2 raptor.
At the end of the day, though I’m very happy with the result
Great instructions and easy installation! Fit perfectly! Loaded my tractor to test them out and they completely leveled my sagging truck with 42psi.
I was easy to install just a few hours. Everything in the kit fit well. It would be nice if an extension brackets were provided for the brake line/abs wire mounting bars would be included like the brake line adapters that’s provided in the kit is my only recommendation to make it top notch.
Excellent service and quick delivery . Thank you
Very good help on the phone .fast shipping .will definitely buy from you again Thanks
The package arrived all beat to heck but everything was still inside. The installation was fairly straight forward except the instructions had me leave the airbag loose in the mount until the mounts were firmly bolted in place on the frame and spring,this would have been ok but there was no room to get a wrench in the top and bottom to tighten it up. I had to use the by guess method to get them aligned and tightened down then sliding them into place to attach the mounts. I'm a handy guy and the installation on my motor home took about 4 hours, they did the job and brought it back up to level. Will see how the handling is on my next trip.

Well after a year and several long trips I can say these were a great investment, took most of the seat out of the motor home and helped in windy conditions. I would highly recommend them to anyone!
