Question:

Hello my name is dedrick and I installed the 5000 air lift bag on my 2013 f-250 with the air compressor but not the wireless one one it’s a older model with the two are gauges well before I put the inline check value I would lose pressure on both bags at the same time a very slow leak! Now I put in the the inline check valve and now the passenger side bag holds the air but the driver side bag loses are I checked all the hoses and bags with soapy water I which the inline check valve and it still ping and quicker then it did before I put it on so if you guys can help me out I would love that thank you

I would be happy to help you find out what is causing the driver side Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air helper spring to deflate while the passenger side spring does not.

You are on the right track by using the soapy water mixture to find where the leak is coming from. You will need to keep checking the hose from the helper spring all the way to the dual gauges until you find the leaking area.

Also check anywhere that the air line may have been pinched by the suspension, or anywhere that heat could have damaged the line.

It will be a bit of work but be thorough and spray all of the connections and any places the air line could be damaged. You will want to make sure the system is aired up to 65-70 PSI while doing this leak test.

If the air line is damaged you need some more air line, just let me know the diameter of the air line your compressor uses and I would be happy to recommend a replacement.
