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.

  • Recommended Air Springs For A 2023 Ford F-150 4WD
    Hey Gilbert, The right air spring kit for your 2023 Ford F-150 4WD is going to depend on if your model has Continuously Controlled Damping (CCD) suspension or Onboard Scales option as well as if you have a PowerBoost hybrid engine. If you have CCD suspension then there is not going to be a compatible kit for your F-150. If you don't have a PowerBoost hybrid engine then Air Lift # AL47PD you were looking at would be a fit. If you do have a PowerBoost hybrid engine then you'll need Air...

  • Reducing sag on a 2023 Ford F-150 XLT 4x4 Hauling a 5,500 lb Travel Trailer
    Hey Gregory, that's really good information. You’ve got a few options, but I wouldn’t jump straight to replacing the leaf springs on a half-ton for that size trailer. Since you’re using a Curt weight distribution hitch, that should be doing most of the work. The first thing I’d look at is the hitch setup, making sure the spring bars are tensioned correctly and the truck is sitting close to level after everything is hooked up. If that doesn't correct the sag, that’s when a suspension upgrade...

  • How to Choose Correct Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Bag Kit for a 2021 Ford F-150 4WD
    Thanks for reaching out, Steve! Both Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 kits, parts # AL47PD and # AL82WQ, fit a 2021 Ford F-150 4WD. The only difference is whether your truck has the CCD (Continuously Controlled Dampening)/Onboard Scales, or the PowerBoost Hybrid engine: - Kit # AL47PD is NOT compatible with the parts mentioned above - Kit # AL82WQ IS compatible with the PowerBoost Hybrid engine but not the CCD or Onboard Scales Attached is an installation video for you to check out!

  • Which Air Bags are Better Firestone or Air Lift? For a 2021 Ford F-150
    Hey Gordon. The best option for your 2021 Ford F-150 are the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs item # F2582. These air bags have a 5,000 lbs load leveling capacity and come with custom fit brackets that bolt directly to your truck. The Firestone air bags use four layers of reinforced rubber while the Air Lift only has 2-ply rubber. Firestone also has corrosion-resistant metal end plates that use the rolled crimp seal to keep them anchored. This means you can rely on the air bags...

  • Recommended Air Lift Springs For A 2022 Ford F-150 With Ride Height Sensors
    Hey David, That looks the ride height sensor, which looks at the weight being applied to the rear axle and adjusts the headlights to deal with the rear end sag pushing the headlights up. The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers # AL54JQ sits off to the side of the spring stack so it wouldn't interfere with this sensor. I know some F-150 models can have a manifold for the brake lines kind of in the way on the driver's side when trying to mount...

    Hey Stu, The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL47PD will not void your 2023 Ford F-150 warranty per the Federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, which basically states unless modifications added to your vehicle (like an air bag kit) are the cause of damage, your warranty still needs to be honored.

    Hi Brett, For a 2021 Ford F-150 Hybrid 4WD you'll need the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL82WQ. This fits hybrid models but does not fit vehicles with Continuously Controlled Damping (CCD) suspension or Onboard Scales option. If you'd like to be able to monitor and adjust your psi levels on the go then I recommend also installing the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System # AL74000EZ .

    Hello Kirk; yes, the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL47PD will indeed fit your 2021 Ford F-150 4WD with a 5th wheel hitch installed. This kit was designed specifically to be compatible with an in-bit 5th wheel or gooseneck hitch, so the brackets will not obstruct each other. You will find a link to our DIY install video below.

The only other thing you could add on would be a compressor. The Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Remote - Bluetooth - Single Path # AL25980 is a very nice option for that. Just keep in mind this will not fit vehicles with Continuously Controlled Damping (CCD) suspension or Onboard Scales...

  • Which Air Bags For 2024 Ford F-150 4WD With EcoBoost Engine
    Hi Cole, There are a couple options for air bags for your 2024 Ford F-150 4WD with the EcoBoost engine, it just depends on if your truck is equipped with Continuously Controlled Damping (CCD) or the optional Onboard Scales. I didn't see an option for an F-150 Sport model so I can't tell you if your model has the option for Damping. So here is what you'd use, depending on your set up: - WITHOUT Scales or CCD: Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL47PD - WITH Scales or CCD: Firestone...

  • Recommended Air Bags for a 2021 Ford F-150 4WD PowerBoost Hybrid
    I checked with our vendors and we do have an air bag kit for the PowerBoost model 2021 Ford F-150 4WD. It is the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs item # AL54JQ. These have a 5,000 lbs weight capacity which will be more than sufficient to handle the extra tongue weight your trailer is adding to the rear end. I really like this model of helper springs because it has an internal jounce bumper. The jounces work as a fail-safe if air springs lose pressure. The air bags reduce...

  • Do Air Lift LoadLifter Kits Allow For Articulation When Driving off Road?
    Air bag kits like the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 # AL47PD do allow for articulation when off road driving. If you have the air bags set to the minimum of 5 psi, the suspension will still be able to travel most of the way on your 2021 F-150 Tremor. Technically it will limit travel slightly, but not so much as to hamper your trucks ability to drive off road.

  • Recommendation For Reducing Sag & Sway While Towing a V-Nose Enclosed Trailer Behind 2022 Ford F-150
    I have a recommendation for you as the unique design and short length of your trailer tongue on your 2011 Stealth Prowler 23 enclosed trailer does not allow for a traditional weight distribution and sway hitch. You may be able to use the B&W Continuum Weight Distribution System # BW78FR but as it is rated for trailers with a tongue weight of 600-1,600lbs with a trailer weight up to 16,000lbs it may be overkill for your truck and trailer.

Do remember this will not increase your payload or towing capabilities given from Ford. I recommend stepping up to their Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Springs # AL67PD.

  • Recommended Rear Helper Spring Option to Eliminate Suspension Sag of 2022 Ford F-150
    I'd be happy to assist with that. Back when most folks didn't use pickup trucks as daily drivers, trucks had stiffer rear suspensions. As trucks began selling better, more folks used them as a passenger vehicle, rather than the workhorse they were originally intended as. People then found that trucks ride like buckboards, and consumers complained. The vehicle manufacturers have replied to consumer complaints of poor ride quality by making the rear suspensions of their half ton trucks...

    While the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL47PD were not designed to change the factory ride height on your 2023 Ford F-150 Lariat, I would not be surprised if you did see a little height gained. Typically the height gained is from the sag your factory springs have developed over the years of use. It is not a problem with the factory leaf springs it is just how all springs are as they age they will sag. Personally I prefer the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper...
