Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Spring Kit for Chevy, GMC, Ford, Dodge Models, See Fitment Details in Descriptions - 57215

Love these things. I opted not to get the onboard air and just ran lines for both bags to a homemade bracket off the bottom of the back bumper. I installed them on a '99 F250 Super Duty 4x4 and have only really given them a workout once. I put 3000 lbs in the bed of the truck, aired up each bag to 60 psi and if you couldn't see the concrete blocks peaking up over the bed sides you wouldn't know anything was in there. On the drive home it felt like it was empty. It actually rode a little nicer than empty. Couldn't be happier with the results. No more driving around with a load on with the headlights pointing up in the air, rear end swaying all over the place on bumps, locking up the front brakes when stopping short. These keep the truck straight and level going down the road and it handles like it had that weight on there from the factory. Added bonus is you don't need to destroy your back any more by adding extra springs that don't give an inch when there's no load. Just let out the air and you're back to a factory riding truck. Can't wait to see how they handle the big trailer. I don't think I'll be disappointed.One thing of note, the upper bracket that mounts to the frame will not completely clear the recess that's there on the Ford frames. I had to take the spacers they provided for the Mopar applications and grind one to a taper for the part of each bracket that lands on the radius of that recess. I tried installing one without this and the thing had so much spring to it, it snapped the mounting bolt before I could torque it down all the way to spec. Installed the homemade taper spacers and it worked fine after that. As with most stuff that's universal fit, it often takes a little fabrication/modificaiton work to make the install happen. You have to drill holes in the frame and for my application you have to modify a couple spacers on the bench grinder. If you want something that just bolts on to the existing truck hardware, spend the extra coin and get the one that's specific to your application. Otherwise this setup is money and I wouldn't hesitate to max out its advertised capacity now that I've seen it in action. These will go on every truck I own from here on out now that I've seen how well they work.

Easy install and just what I needed to balance the lean of my truck.

Great product i have installed many. First time installing on a ram with factory additional leaf.I had to set the bag at 5” height in order for the top frame mounted bracket to actually be bolted to the frame. Used bottom 4 holes on frame bracket. Left top two un used. Works great and still within the bag height specifications of 5-7” (no air pressure). Installed on a truck with a service body (loaded fairly heavy) without a trailer at 35 psi in each bag it leveled the rear and ride quality got 100 times better. Air Lifts products are far superior then other readily available options.

'95 Ford F-150Had my trusted mechanic (Mike) install for me. Though it's advertised to take 2 hours, it took closer to 4 hours which is no small change.The AirLift was delivered to me with 5lb of pressure which lifted the rear end about 2". The drive without a load is great 95% of the time, though over responsive if I hit a series of big pot holes, ets.I haven't tried with a heavy load yet but will update when I have something to report.Thus far, I'm happy with the performance.

Worked great on my 2001 ram 2500

Work great.

My work trucks are always loaded with equipment or materials, a truck with a load rides different, and you get used to that. It was amazing the difference these air springs make amd wish I had them years ago.They aren't that hard to install, but it does require crawling around under the truck and reaching around and through things. To drill the frame does require taking the wheels off.If you are looking to "lift" your truck to ride tall with these, don't. They are for trucks that have loads. It's a load lifter, just like the name says, empty trucks won't benefit from these. One of my trucks has a service bed and that makes it sit low, these raise the back up to a normal ride height. I even tried it with a 2000lb load on the tail and put 65psi in the springs to make it look level, worked great. The truck handles great with a full load. Even with service bed I need to keep 15psi in them, but with a regular pickup that is empty 5psi is normal.After a truck is unloaded the pressure does need to be reduced or it will bounce more. The ride is quieter and smoother when the truck is no longer riding on the overload leaf, and these air springs help keep it off of them so that it sits like an empty truck. Best upgrade of the year.
