I have a solution for you, but the differences between the AirLift 5000 # AL89295 and AirLift 7500 # AL57595 extend to the brackets and mounting hardware. For that reason you won't just be able to swap out your 5000 air bags with the Replacement Air Spring for Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL System - Rear Axle - Qty 1 # AL50236 and you will need to replace the complete system if you're looking to upgrade to the AirLift XL 7500 # AL57595. You should be able to reuse the air lines from your old system, so that would save you some time on the installation.

I've linked some review and installation videos for you to have a look at.
