LoadLifter 7500 XL Ultimate springs have up to 20 percent more air spring volume than LoadLifter 5000 springs. The available volume in these 7" double-bellows air springs enable greater leveling strength at lower pressures. This ensures maximum load-lifting abilities and a great ride quality no matter the load.

2017 Forest River Arctic Wolf Fifth Wheel

I have not towed anything yet. I pull a 42' 5th wheel RV and from what everyone tells me, these bags make a huge difference. I'm full time living in an RV so I don't have a shop or all the tools that would have made this a bit more easy. First of all, unless you have a lot of time and patience, this is a tough job for one person. Do yourself a favor and get an air socket wrench. This would cut down on install time considerably. I don't remember the size, but if you have a dually like I do, have a set of ratcheting box end wrenches. Thankfully, the guy helping me had a set and I don't know how we would have done one of the brackets without it. Watch some youtube videos for some helpful hints. Go to the manufacturers website for videos. Read through the directions a couple times first. Especially pay attention to the specifics of Left and Right, and sway bar or no sway bar. The directions aren't horrible, but they aren't great either. Divide your hardware, put them in zip lock bags and label them, using the parts list in the front of the book. Also, have a breaker bar on hand. My buddy and I had never installed these before. Neither of us are certified mechanics, but have a pretty good understanding of mechanics and we know how to turn a wrench. This install took us about 6 hours (note, this does not include the hour or so that I spent putting the bags together on a previous day). To raise and lower, we used a bottle jack under the rear hitch. You don't need to raise it off the ground, but you need to get it as high as you can without going off the ground. I will try to come back and add my 2 cents on the performance aspect after we head out with the RV.
As always, etrailer was very helpful and I had a speedy delivery.

I installed the air lift system and could not be happier. The truck now rides very smooth even with a heavy load. Great product addition to my truck.

Sat in Sweden (Europe) and googled for Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs for my 2020 Ford F350 and found them on etrailer.com. Paid with Swedish credit card and sent them with UPS, 1 week later they were on my car in Sweden. Everything worked very smooth and quickly. Thanks etrailer.

2021 Ford F-350 Super Duty

Easy install on my own. One year later they’re still working great. I haul a 10,000 lb tractor and Skid Steer as well as a 40’ GN full of hay, mostly. I typically leave the airbags at 50psi and that seems to do the trick. My dad also did some hotshot trucking for a few months and we love these airbags. A huge noticeable difference after airbags.



by:

Had issue with the NPT threads leaking over time. Took them back out and Teflon doped and sealed. Maintains air pressure with no pressure decay for months now. etrailers prompt order shipment and packaging were excellent.

2020 Ford F-350 Super Duty

I added this to level my truck when hauling heavy loads like my truck camper. It took longer than expected to install, but the documentation was comprehensive. Plan on an all day installation with two people if you have never installed one before. I haven't driven the truck with the camper installed yet, but confident if will meet my needs.

Instant improvement! Recommend this for any heavy duty truck as a daily driver. I can’t rate the hauling difference due to only recently installing the helper springs.



by:

Five. Stars to Bob for his assistance in selecting the product. Product installed easily and the instructions were detailed and supported with pictures. Airlift is a superior product that worked very effectively and stabilized my load which was over 20,000 pounds.



by:

Self installed and really like the results even before pulling the 5th wheel. Trip planned in 2 weeks and sure will make towing better. 2020 GMC Sierra 2500HD with BW slider and Companion hitch. No issues on install.



by:

I found these to be easy to install. The install video answered all my questions and made the job go much quicker and I encountered no issues. I was able to install the airbags and compressor system all in one evening and after one year they are working flawlessly. I use these on pretty much a daily basis and so far have been very please with their performance.



by:

One day, I went onto the ET site and discovered the product was 40%. I had been contemplating buying the bags, as I had installed them on a previous truck I had. I installed them myself (and my nephew) in about 6 hours. We weren't rushing, as I had set aside the whole day for the installation. It's nice to have a second pair of hands outside the truck. The installation went well, except for the long carriage bolts on the driver's side and some confusion about which hole they went into. We initially picked the wrong one, which slowed the installation by disassembling the bottom plate to move them. All in all, the installation went well, and I am happy with them. They aired up fine. Now, to figure out what pressure to run them at.

Don't hesitate, get these on your truck. You won't regret it.

This was the answer to our problem with our Bigfoot 2500 Cabover Camper on our 2021 Ram 2500 long bed truck! The first time we loaded the camper on the truck it swayed terribly from side to side even at a low speed and was unsafe. After installing the air lift springs everything was fine! We are very pleased with them!



by:

Installed on 2014 F350 4WD crew cab.
I
did this installation myself with jack stands and a good floor jack.
Instructions were pretty clear in most respects although I would not recommend taking this on if you're not a good mechanic and have the proper tools.
Installation time for me was about 8 hours.
I'm very satisfied with the product as I haul a 12,000 lb. boat trailer and now can level the truck with the trailer attached.
I also can correct the left side low issue with the 55 gal. fuel tank filled.
Just completed a 5000 + mile journey pulling the boat with no issues.
This is a quality product that performs as advertised.



by:

Giving 4 stars because of packaging box had holes in it and all brackets were just thrown in box
I bought these for my 2018 F250 to pull 42ft sundowner toy hauler. They work great install little confusing on which way to slide them but there enough videos to figure it out.
I wasn’t going to buy compressor at 1st but glad I did. We took 1st trip in it this weekend and being able to adjust air for tanks empty to full is nice. Even riding with no load seems to ride better
Contact me few months down the road and let’s see how impressed I am

  • Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs For a 2020 Ford F-350 Tremor With OEM Prep Package
    The Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs # AL55FJ are a confirmed fit for your 2020 Ford F-350 Tremor. I believe the fitment issues that they referred to were with the Kit # AL86KV that does not fit the Tremor. You should have no issues installing the # AL55FJ on your F-350. I do recommend using the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System # AL74000EZ to control the air pressure in each bag. You can set each bag to an individual pressure for uneven loads with either the included...

  • Compatibility of Air Lift Helper Springs With TorkLift StableLoad on 2021 Ford F-350 Dually 4x4
    You are able to use the TorkLift StableLoad Suspension Upgrade # TLA7200 with the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs # AL86KV on your 2021 Ford F-350 Dually 4x4. You must have the upper overload spring on your leaf springs to use the StableLoad. The reason the factory bump stops must be removed for the Air Lift Springs is they mount in place of the bump stop. The StableLoad mounts on the frame towards the end of the spring and will not interfere with the mounting of the air...

So here is exactly what you will need: - Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs # AL86KV - Air Command I Xtreme Duty Compressor # F2543 Those air bags are the correct fit for your dually, and the Air Command I gives you a compressor with a 150 psi...

It is also specially designed to fit the dually model of your F-350. These air springs reduces the strain on your OEM suspension that is caused by extremely heavy loads.

    I do have an option for you but I checked with Air Lift and they don't offer the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs for a 2022 Ford F-350 Dually 2WD. That said, we do offer a kit from Firestone in the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2600 which is the same as the kit you mentioned but from Firestone instead of Air Lift. I actually recommend Firestone over Air Lift as the bags are better since they use a crimp rolled design as opposed to the band clamp. The crimp...

They are rated up to 7,500 pounds of load leveling capacity at 100 psi and are American made.

    The Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs part # AL86KV are what I recommend for a 2022 Ford F-350 DRW. This is a heavy duty kit with 7,500 lb rating that will be perfect for the constant load of a truck bed camper. It will help reduce sag as well as other issues from the heavy load such as sloppy steering response. The air bags are a direct bolt-on fit with no modifications needed.

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement For A 2022 Ford F-350 Dually
    I can certainly point you in the right direction. I agree with you that the 2,800 sumo springs # SSR-127-54 will not be enough for the kind of weight you are pulling with your 2022 Ford F-350. They may help slightly with sagging, but you would be overloading the springs and that is never recommended. A Timbren # TFR350SDJ would be much more appropriate for this application. These are 8,600 lb capacity rubber springs which will absolutely help eliminate sagging, and improve your ride quality...

I recommend Firestone over Air Lift as the air bags have a better construction (crimp rolled vs band clamp) and the kits have fewer components so they are easier to install. The kit will also work on models with an on-bed hitch.

These figures will remain unchanged from the manufacturer. That said, if you're having issues with a heavy pin weight we do have options to help mitigate these.
