Will Lifting RV with Air Lift Load Lifter Installed Tear Bags
Updated 08/04/2025 | Published 07/31/2025
Question:
Wont installing the Airlift 5000 helper springs on my 2018 Thor Hurricane 29M w/ Lippert hyd leveler system brings up the question about lifting too high may tear the bags apart? Is that a good assessment? Do you have a fix?
asked by: Robert B
Expert Reply:
Hey Robert, the bags of the Air Lift kits like the part # AL88240 that you referenced are strong enough that they would not tear if the RV was lifted. They are strong enough that they would lift the axle off the ground. There's no need for a fix. Do you have a compressor kit picked out?
