Air Lift's LoadLifter 5000 springs provide full-time, first-class support for your truck. With this kit, you get a safer ride and simultaneously protect your vehicle from the strain that comes with constantly hauling heavy 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.

  • How Do I Determine What Air Lift Spacers I Need For My Lifted 2004 Ram 1500?
    Hello David, thanks for reaching out. It is possible to put air bags on your 2004 Ram 1500, and there are spacers available which make the kits fit lifted trucks. I suggest going with an Air Lift brand kit, part # AL57230 for 4WD trucks or part # AL57257 for 2WD models. If you are unsure of how much lift you have or what spacer you need, the best way to determine this is to install the upper and lower brackets, measure the distance between them and subtract the height of the air bag....

  • Comparing Air Lift and Firestone Air Bags for 20007 Ram 1500
    Hey John, the Air Lift kit part # AL57230 that fits your 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 is compatible with in-bed hitches but not mega cab models. The part # AL57295 is a fit for the mega cab models and fits with in-bed hitches. The part # AL88295 fits mega cab models, is in-bed hitch compatible BUT it comes with an internal jounce bumper for additional support. The part # F2299 is not compatible with in-bed hitches but is a really great option. We've found that the Firestone bags are of the highest...

  • Can I Use Air Lift Springs on 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 With 2-Inch Lift?
    It depends on how much lift your block actually provides. On its own, the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 # AL57230 can handle about an inch of lift. If the lift is more than that, you would need the 2" spacer # AL52420. To make sure, you can do some measuring on your truck. I attached a diagram below to guide you as you measure. You will need to measure the total distance between the mounting surfaces, and subtract that by 5-1/2", which is the air spring design height (A) for these air bags.

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement for a 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 with 5th Wheel
    The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57230 will not interfere with most 5th wheel brackets. However, this kit is for a 2002 - 2008 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 and since you have a 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 it will not work for you. Unfortunately, there is not an airbag kit that will work for your truck and not interfere with 5th wheel brackets but I do still have a solution for you. I recommend using the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System as this will be your next best...

  • Can the LoadLifter 5000 Be Upgraded to the LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate On a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500
    The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57230 are what is currently installed on the 2003 Dodge Ram 1500. These airbags do not have the internal jounce bumper like the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs part # AL88230 do but you can swap out the airbags and all you would need is the Replacement Air Spring for Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate System part # AL84235.

  • Recommended Air Helper Springs for 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4
    Both AirLift and Firestone offer air helper spring options for your 2002 Ram 1500 4x4, but the right kit for you will depend on how you use your truck. Firestone uses a superior design on their air bags, utilizing a roll crimp to join the upper and lower plates to the air bag. This is a more durable connection than the band clamp arrangement used by AirLift, in my opinion. The Firestone # F2286 would be an excellent choice, but if you have an in bed gooseneck or 5th wheel hitch, or plan...

  • Air Bags That Fit 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 With 4 Inch Lift
    We do have an air bag kit that will fit and work for your 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 with a 4 inch lift. You will need to add spacers, but the correct part for your truck with that amount of lift is the following: - Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57230 - Air Lift Universal Air Spring Spacers for LoadLifter 5000 and 7500XL - 4" Lift # AL52440 This will work for your truck to ensure a more comfortable and controlled ride while helping level it out, though I do recommend verifying...

  • Is Curt Gooseneck Hitch C60733 for 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 Compatible With Air Lift Air Bags AL57230
    I double-checked for you and can confirm that the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57230 on your 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 are completely compatible with the Curt Double Lock, Flip and Store Underbed Gooseneck Hitch with Installation Kit # C60733. This is a really nice option for a hitch because it uses two pins to hold the hitch ball in place for added security, and is a below-bed mount which means you'll have a nice, clean bed when you aren't using the hitch for towing.

  • What Air Lift Kit Will Fit My 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 4WD With A 6" Lift
    I definitely have an air lift kit you can use, but the # AL57230 you mentioned is made for 1500 models only. For your 2005 Ram 2500 4x4 I recommend the Air Lift # AL57295. This will be the same Loadlifter 5000 kit, but made specifically for your Ram 2500 4WD model. It comes with everything you need, including 2 standard inflation valves that can be mounted on the rear bumper. Since your truck is lifted, you will need to use a spacer kit like the # AL52460. This will install between the...

  • Recommended Air Bags for a 2008 Dodge Ram 3500 Cab and Chassis
    No, it will not Dave but I have a set that does! Since your 2008 Dodge Ram 3500 is the cab and chassis model you'll need the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs item # F2478. These air bags have a 5,000 lbs capacity that will level out the rear end of your Ram when you are towing a trailer or hauling a heavy load. All mounting brackets and hardware are included for installation. I recommend adding the Firestone Air Command item # F2610 to your truck. This onboard compressor will allow...

  • Is an Installation Kit Included with the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs Part # AL57230
    Although not shown on the product page, all of the airlines, fittings,and hardware required to install the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57230 on your 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 are included with the kit. The included airlines will allow you to inflate the airbags via an external air compressor. In order to eliminate the need for an external air compressor and inflate the airbags from inside the cab of your vehicle, I recommend taking a look at the Air Lift Load Controller...

  • Will Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Helper Springs AL57230 Fit A 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 Mega Cab?
    I reached out to my contact at Air Lift and the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57230 you were looking at is indeed confirmed to fit your 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 Mega Cab 4WD. You can T both air lines together so you have one fill port, but to do that you will need to purchase the Air Lift Union Tee for 1/4" Air Lines # AL21838 separately. There is not a gauge offered that will tell you the pressure in the helper springs, and instead you will just need to use...

  • Air Lift Air Suspension Kit that Fits 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4
    For the 4WD versions of your 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 Air Lift does not offer an air bag setup that uses bags like the # AL50291 like what you referenced. Instead you'd need to go with a new kit altogether like with the part # AL57230 that fits your truck.

  • How Heavy of a 5th Wheel Trailer Can a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 Tow
    The 5th wheel towing capacity will be the same as the bumper pull towing capacity for a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500. It was not until the last 5 years or so that they gave them a different towing capacity for 5th wheel trailers. Therefore, if the dealer told you that your towing capacity is 12,000 lbs then that will be the heaviest 5th wheel trailer you can tow. However, I would be skeptical that the truck has a 12,000 lb towing capacity as the most well equipped 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 I was able...
