Hi Jim; the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate # AL88288 is the standard kit with the internal jounce bumper. The Ultimate Plus kit includes the # AL52301 with stainless steel lines and hardware. In the past there was a kit where they came together but most of those have been phased out leaving the upgrade kit separate.
