Question:
I have the AirLift LoadLifter 5000 airbags on my 1993 Dodge W-250. I recently replaced the rear leaf springs with slightly longer leafs lifted 2. I see the kit originally came with spacers which I no longer have. Are there other spacers available to bridge the substantial gap between the bottom of the airbag and the top of the leaf springs? I can provide a picture

Hi Matt, cool truck!
We have just what you are looking for to get your Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 working again. You are going to want to measure that distance between the bottom of the bag and the top of the bracket/leaf spring, but it should be one of the following parts:
Air Lift Universal Air Spring Spacers - 2" Lift - Qty 2 # AL52420
Air Lift Universal Air Spring Spacers - 4" Lift - Qty 2 # AL52440
Air Lift Universal Air Spring Spacers - 6" Lift - Qty 2 # AL52460
I doubt you will need the 6" spacers, but still figured I would mention them, just in case. If none of these look correct after taking your measurement, just let me know.
What do you typically tow with your W-250?

That is awesome, thank you. I'm not with the truck at the moment, but I know it will be either the 4" or the 6". I was unaware this product existed! I tow a boat, a tractor, a cattle trailer and sometimes haul a slide-in truck camper.
