LoadLifter 5000 Air Spring Kit for 2007-2018 Chevrolet 1500, 2007-2018 GMC 1500-57204

Easy to install I put these on my truck the first time I pulled I couldn’t believe how much better it pulled my trailer this is a must buy my trailer weighs 7000 pounds

I purchased this to level out my truck a bit while pulling my 31’ 7500lb (loaded) camper. Installation was pretty quick and straightforward. I was trying to keep an eye on my toddlers while installing it so it probably took me a bit longer than it should have (about 2.5 hours). I ended up painting my “caps/hats” that go on top and bottom of the bags in hopes that they don’t rust out quick since I got the steel ones. All in all, these worked perfect. My only complaint was the price dropped 3 days after I received mine and was hoping to just get the price adjusted ($75 difference if I recall correctly) but instead per amazon “rules” I had to return it and order another one. Not a big deal, I’m glad I didn’t install it the day I got it or I would have been out the price difference.

First, installation: The brackets fit perfectly on my 2017 Sierra 1500, 6.5’ bed. Instructions were clear and easy to follow. It took me about 3 hours for the entire job including getting out tools, lifting my truck, removing tires and the reverse, by myself. I could’ve gone a little faster, but I was being very careful to do it correctly the first time. Second, performance: I placed my valves on my bumper near my license plate and used a cigarette lighter tire compressor to inflate which worked well and was an inexpensive option. Not to mention the multipurpose of the compressor. I towed a travel trailer with a gross weight of 7,500 pounds, a tongue weight of 850 pounds and around 400 pounds of bikes and gear in the truck bed. I found that 45 psi worked well for me. It slowed down the bouncing and kept my truck riding flat. I had to adjust the ball height and angle on my hitch due to the proper ride height. Overall, easy install, good price and worked exactly as expected on a 900 mile round trip on the highway and through the Smokey Mountains of Kentucky. Highly recommend

if you are a diy’er, be prepared for an all afternoon job. The directions are easy to follow. Great product. Works great. After hooking up our RV, we can raise the airbags and it levels the truck out quickly. And takes ALOT of the bounce out of the ride. Even without a load on, the truck rides smoother. I do recommend purchasing the compressor for a much easier time of filling the airbags. It’s a pretty quick instal as well. Then you don’t have to manually fill them. You can use a remote control from inside the truck and check the air driving down the road.

I received this item in a timely fashion. When I finally got around to having my mechanic install it on my 2012 GMC Sierra 1500, it fit as described; however, he told me that some of the brackets had previously been installed on a vehicle (they had undercarriage spray stuck to them and obvious tool marks) and an extra bag of hardware was in the box. The listing didn't say anything about this item being a previously returned set.

Installed this lift kit on our 2017 Chevy Silverado LTZ 4x4 6.2 short bed truck prior to a Michigan trip this past September. I am 66 and while I have the skill set to install these, it was a bit more difficult for me due to fact I don't have a lift and had to do this in our gravel (chip seal) driveway. I would say the install took me right at three hours (since I had to crawl out from under the truck multiple times). Overall the quality of the kit is excellent. I did not opt for installing two separate schrader valves (because I've never had to load the truck that differently to need to adjust it like that. In any case, we have a 32' FR Catalina Legacy that has (I measured it)_ just under 900 lbs. I also have an Equal-i-Zer 1000 weight distribution hitch installed as well. The WDH does perform well but we tend to get a of pogo-ing when on rough roads that the Lippert Suspension Equalizers can't control. Anyways, on this trip, with the lift kit installed, I started at 50 psi to start out. After a few miles of trial and error on the air pressure, it finally was determined that 45 psi worked great to maintain level and minimize pogo. Without the trailer and hitch, I have also determined that 25 psi works good to minimize "jounce" (to install the air bags you must remove the jounce bumper on each side that is between the frame and suspension. Note: You must run at least 5 psi or the warranty is void. At this point I opted not to go the extra $$$ for the auto-leveling pump kit as I was able to quickly find the best riding sweet spot. Also, note that air springs are NOT intended, nor should be used, to increase the load capacity of your vehicle. The max load your vehicle can carry IS the MAX load your vehicle can carry. Period.

I looked at a bunch of bag kits from just about everyone. Air lift had the best reviews. Plus my buddy and I put one of these on his Chevy truck .Easy installation I like the remote to. So far it’s working as specified. My truck is a 2008 LT 4x4 Silverado 1500. The only concern I have is when the bags are deflated I don’t have much suspension. So I keep about 25 lbs in it so that gives me about 2-3” of rear travel when I don’t have a tow. It’s a 4x4 so it’s already up and not it has a rake.

I installed it myself and it works real nice

Love the kit. It was an easy install. The only issue that I had was getting the driver's side u- bolt up over the frame. Really tight spot, but doable. I installed the bags on my 2019 1500 Silverado, and ran the fill line to the license plate. I wish I didn't put the valves there, as I adjust when my camper is loaded, and the gate is down, making it awkward. Still, an absolute game changer that I should have implemented sooner.

La verdad de maravilla

Good

2011 gmc 1500 with a sled deck I can put two snowmobiles on the back with the airbags installed they do exactly what I needed the truck has no troubles. I would advise if your buying this kit buy the tee for the air line to tie both airbag together so you only have one valve stem and both will fill at the same psi evenly

Parfait
