Question:

Im considering the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle Part Number: AL29FF for my 2020 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 4x4 170 wheelbase. Is this the correct part number? Thanks, Randy

Hey Randy,

The correct Air Lift airbags for your 2020 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 4WD are # AL56FF. These are the custom fit airbags for your Sprinter with that 170 inch wheel base. They are a no drill installation and offer that 5,000lbs of load leveling capacity.

What are you hoping to use these airbags for?

Thanks nick. I bought the van new and have been slowly building as a camper with lots of support from the Sprinter forum. Evidently these vans commonly develop some sag in the rear despite trying to keep weight as low as possible, so being able to easily adjust for the load is desirable to me. 2 more questions; my van is the 170" wheelbase 4x4 ext which is the longer of the 2 body lengths. Is this the correct part # for my van? Also, is your part# AL56FF the same as the #57802 listed on the AirLift website for the 170" Sprinter 2500 4X4? Thanks & happy New Year! Randy

@RandyS Yes the # AL56FF is the same as that 57802 AirLift part number, it is just our internal part number. That is the correct one for that van. A goal of mine this year is actually to do the same, it has been a dream of mine to convert one!

I have a built-out Sprinter 170” extended. I had originally installed Pac Brake air bags, but was never happy with the fit or the short frame support. I removed them and installed AirLifts, which I have on another truck so was familiar with. AirLift’s frame bracket is long enough to carry the load without worrying about cracking the frame. If you’re adding air springs on a Sprinter? AirLift’s kit is the one to buy.
