Is Drilling Required To Install Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 - Rear Axle # AL57338 in a 2012 Silverado

Updated 07/19/2013 | Published 07/18/2013

Question:

In the description for the Air Lift Vehicle Suspension for the 2012 Silverado by Chevrolet, Code: AL57338, it says no drilling required yet the installation video shows holes being drill. Can you clear this up for me? Thanks

This is a two-fold answer. If you have a 5th wheel installed in your truck, then to add the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 # AL57338 then you are required to drill two 5/16 inch holes for your air lines because the U-bolts will not work.

If you do not have a 5th wheel installed, then there is no drilling involved in the installation of this unit.

I have attached the installation instructions for you to review and how they apply to your truck.
