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. 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.


The system installs easily, with many kits requiring no drilling at all. Just install, inflate and ride. And using the system is easy too. 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. 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.

Video Transcript for Comprehensive Review: Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs-AL57154

Hello, Steven here with etrailer.com. Today we're looking at these Air Lift LiftLoader 5000 Air Helper Springs for your front axle. Now with anything that is vehicle specific, we wanna make sure you use our etrailer.com fit guide and just type in your year, make, and model. And in this case, it's gonna tell you that these fit the 2000 to 2005 Ford Excursions, the '99 to 2004 F-250-350 Super Duties, and the '99 to '04 Ford F-350, 450, 550 cabin chassis, the F-450 and F-550. Now these Air Springs will help keep your vehicle level when you're carrying a heavy load. They're gonna improve steering and braking performance.

And with this kit you can manually adjust the air pressure to get your even load distribution and the support that you need. You can level front to rear of your vehicle with Air Springs. Now keep in mind that you will need a compressor system with such things like in cab gauge. That compressor system is gonna be sold separately. And these are made in the USA.

They have a 60 day satisfaction guarantee and a lifetime warranty. That's right, lifetime. Now as far as the dimensions and everything, this diameter of these air springs themselves are gonna be 7 inches and the air height is gonna be 7-7/64 of an inch. And whenever it's compressed, the max height is compressed it's gonna be 1-57/64 of an inch. Now it does come with all the brackets you see here, nuts, bolts, everything, the little valve to inflate the bag, and it's gonna come with the bottom bracket and the matching hardware as well.

Now you will get the airline extension hose that you need with the straightener valves and everything to inflate these. And again, you're gonna get all the brackets and hardware you see before me and it's gonna come with everyone's favorite, that's right, the instructions. Make sure you read them. You do wanna make an easy install. Do it right the first time, don't cut any corners.

The instructions are very, very helpful, very simple to read and follow. Now with any airbag, you do want to keep them inflated at a minimum of 5 PSI to hold air in there and a maximum of 100 PSI with this particular kit. Now these are constructed of a two ply fabric reinforced fiber rubber. So they're gonna last very, very long and they're very, very durable. They, again, can inflate or deflate independently of each other to make the level that you need. Now the end caps on the bags themselves are made of a very high strength Zytel nylon, which is lighter and stronger than other things out there. It's more corrosion resistant than steel. So that's this part up here and down here. Now I hope that this has been helpful for you. This is Steven with etrailer.com and once again, that's a look at our Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs for your front axle. Have a great day.

I was really happy with etrailer and would highly recommend them and have to many people this past year. My motor home needed these air bags and I called the manufacturer and gave them my vin number which has always been what was needed for anything I have had the purchase with any of my vehicles. But the person that I delt with said he needed the frame number I said where do I find that and he said I would have to call the manufacturer of the motor home.So I called Newmar and they said to call ford I called ford and never got a call back . I called etrailer and gave them the vin number and two days later I had the parts and installed them the next day . Thank you for having people that know what they are talking about and making my experience a good one .



by:

The air bags fit perfectly and the directions were easy to follow. I am genuinely impressed with the customer service. I called with a concern for the shipping, and had great assistance from the representatives I spoke with. Well done, and thank you.



by:

It works. I use it to counter the weight of a #650 snowplow on my 2001 F-350. There is an ongoing issue with LH part marks on RH parts and when they are pulled from stock for shipping you get two of the same fittings with different part numbers. Just make sure you remind them at the time of ordering to physically check the part. This has been an ongoing issue. Myself and others did get the correct part shipped. They were good at honoring that. Regardless it is a good kit.

Air Lift air springs are good and dependable, use them for the last 25 years on three pick-ups always worked great. My complaint would be against the lousy packaging which came with two or three holes and all messed up, luckily all that was missing was one washer.



by:

I am not happy with trailer. The box arrived and was all taped up and abused. When I opened the box there was an important part missed. I called and talked to Joanne and she asked me to send pics of the box and I did and have not heard from anyone about the missing part.i hope you will be able to help me get this part issue solved.



by:

Work the air bags Monday thru Friday every week since install.They complement upgraded leaf springs very well! Had no maintenance or problems of any kind.



by:

The etrailer Air lift Loadlifter 5000 Air helper springs for my GMC 1500 truck Rear axle worked excellent, they are unreal and I wish I had installed them 15 years ago. I recommend to anyone pulling a large trailer to get these installed on your pull vehicle to reduce the rear end load on your vehicle and stabilize your trailer pulling vehicle.



by:

Excellent material and the installation instructions were very clear and to the point with the best pictures that coincided with the written material. Only took me 2.5 hours from the start of assembling the air bags with the hardware on the workbench to putting away my tools! This is on my '04 dodge 3500 dually that will be handling my new Host Mammoth Slide in Camper that will set at apprx. 5000 lbs.! Beautiful to maintain level truck and to know that the springs are not collapsed and wearing them down prematurely as well as providing a safe handling truck when on the road.



by:

just getting done putting my 5000 Justable air springs put them on about three hours I didn’t have any left I did them on the ground so that’s not too bad I’m gonna be sending some pictures along with us so thanks very much and I hope they work



by:

Installation of the Loadlifter 5000 kit went smoothly, no issues at all. One of the best advantages of having this system on my F-150 is the stabilization it provides when towing our camper. I tow a 6,000 lb camper with an 800 lb hitch weight. I use a weight distribution hitch so the truck and camper ride level, as they should. The difference with the Loadlifter system is that it controls the bounce, providing a much more stable and controlled ride. I highly recommend this air spring kit in conjunction with a weight distribution hitch. When you don't need to added support of the air springs, ie no load, just drop the air pressure down to 5 lbs and you don't know they are there.



by:

Order after order I have been completely satisfied with E-Trailer. They are always available for questions, and best of all they have the answers. The products they sell are first rate.

My last order was the Air lift load lifter 5000 item # AL 57288. After confirming the fit for my truck with there team, I ordered it. It arrived on time, and in great condition.

The team at E-Trailer know there stuff and are ready to help you.



by:

Installation was straightforward and retained the original suspension while adding the bags. Inflation to level the rig, a 2018 Ram 1500 and a 3 1/2 ton travel trailer, was surprisingly quick. The ride from Southern California to Central Oklahoma was uneventful. The bags handled the load and the road without sway or dip. Very happy with the product.

I have a 2019 Nissan Titan XD with the 5.6 GAS motor. Wanted to do an Airlift suspension to provide a little support and get my headlights perfectly back to level when towing my travel trailer. No one makes an airbag kit for the gas XD, but after discussing it some with John H at etrailer, I decided to go with the kit for the diesel truck and see how things went.
The kit for the diesel truck fit perfectly, except that there is an emissions component hung from a bracket on the driver's sign frame that prevents a direct install of the driver's side bag. My shop was able to install the kit with no trouble - they just had to bend the bracket with the small emissions component attached upwards for clearance. Everything else went in as designed. Great fit - can't wait to see it work under load.



by:

Great product but instructions could be better. Simple things like identifying parts better to make it quicker to find the right part. Like in step3 installing M10 bolts, they were the only black bolts, if they said that it would have been really quick to identify them in the parts bin.
Better identifying info on pictures to orientate you as to what your looking at.
A zoomed out view every once in a while of where things are in relation to the truck.
In step 10 be more specific about the part your cutting, they talk about taking brake line mount X off and then talks about cutting a brake line mount but its a different one.
Installing Nylon Air lines - SO right off it tells you to cut the line in half ie one for each side, but you should first look at how the line for the right side where the muffler is as I could not route it along that frame rail as it would be WAY to close to the muffler going to the air bag. so I was not able to route it cleaner the long way on the left frame rail and over axle.
Last it NEVER says how to attach the air line to the 90 deg fitting on the air bag. Had to go to youtube to see its a simple press on but without saying that....



by:

Good product, quick service. Took a couple hrs to install and very happy with the results



by:

This is not a review of the product but a review of the site. This is sold for a 2006 dodge ram. So I purchased it 4 months ago. Well I finally opened the product to install and it is for a 2006 dodge ram 1500. I own a 2500. So this product doesnt have the proper brackets to fit my truck. No where in the descriptions does it mention what model dodge ram it is for. It also doesn't display anything on the box to show you have the wrong product until it is opened and you review the install manual. So do your extra homework to make sure you purchase what actually fits



by:

I have had rear suspension airbags on the last 5 trucks I have owned. There is no better system to control weight roll of a load in the bed or sway control pulling trailers.Be sure to order the air line "T" which does not come with the kit so that "T" can be connected to use only 1 air fill location to balance your load.
No more need for sway control bars to struggle when pulling your camper with this set up.



by:

We just installed this last night on our truck. The instructions are easy to fallow. We will get our new 5th wheel next weekend so we will see then if they hold up. We love etrailer.com excellent customer service and fast shipping. Chris W thank you so much for taking care of our order so quick!!! We are working so hard on getting everything installed before we get our new 5th wheel!!! Your Amazing!!



by:

I have a 2011 GMC 2500 HD. Installation was fairly easy; must have patience. Instructions indicated could not use U bolts with fifth wheel hitch. In my case, I found with a little finesse I was able to install the U bolts just fine without having to drill holes in the frame. I have a Reese fifth wheel hitch. So far after pulling my trailer one time it works great.



by:

I purchased the system for my 2013 Ram 1500 to provide lift and added support for the 34'toyhauler (6,000 lbs.) we were purchasing for our move from ME to NC. The system easily allowed the truck and trailer to remain in a level position no matter how we loaded it. Very pleased with it. Money well spent.



by:

After owning this kit foe a year, I love it. The install went smooth and easy. The app and the remote link up in seconds and it has helped with towing our 5th wheel. It gets the rear-end up so that it is at normal height.
That way I am not blinding people with my lights at night. The truck does ride more smooth with the airbags pumped up while towing. The only negatives are that even with the minimum 5 PSI in the bags, the truck has a more rigid ride when nor towing. The bags also raise the rear end up quite a bit, even when deflated.



by:

Great shipping, instalation instructions were Great and Ride results as expected.



by:

Shipping was fast. Kept informed where my parts were. Air bags for my service truck. Very well built. And great instructions. Have shopped with e trailer many times. Extremely satisfying.

  • Sway Bar Recommendation for 2004 Fleetwood Southwind 36E
    If you are trying to improve the ride quality of your 2004 Fleetwood Southwind 36E the best option we can offer would be a rear sway bar part number # RM-1139-148. This will make the biggest improvement. We currently do not have an air bag setup that I can recommend that would work well for you.

  • Installation Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs On 2005 Ford Excursion
    We unfortunately have not had a chance to install the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Helper Springs part # AL57154 on a 2005 Ford Excursion so I do not have a final installation photo or video for you. However, the installation instructions that are attached have very clear photos for each step. I have attached a snip of the installation instructions below to give you an idea of what the installation looks like.

  • Will Air Lift LoadLifter Suspension Enhancement Give Vehicle Additional Ride Height
    With suspension enhancement like the Air Lift kit part # AL57154 that you referenced you can remove the sag on the suspension when towing or carrying heavy cargo but you would not gain any additional ride height. So basically the kits would more or less only bring you back to stock ride height. If you inflated the bags to the point of adding additional ride height you'd end up with a severely harsh ride quality.

  • Which Airbag Suspension Kit Do I Need For My 2002 Ford Excursion With 6" Lift?
    For your 2002 Ford Excursion I recommend going with Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57132 for the rear. If you happen to have a snow plow or some other heavy item on the front, then you can also get the front setup as well Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Front Axle # AL57154. You likely will only need the rear kit if you are just trying to reduce rear-end sag and improve handling when weight is added to the back. If you have a true 6" lift, then...

  • How Much PSI Can Front Air Spring Suspension Handle with 1/4 Inch Tubing?
    If the front air bag suspension system are anything like the # AL57154 we carry, then the bags can normally handle up to 100 psi. We have some air springs that can handle up to 150 psi using the 1/4 inch tubing you referenced. I can't give you specs for your Mustang suspension because we don't carry it.
