In this review the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 air spring kit is evaluated for owners of 3/4 ton and 1 ton Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks from 2001-2010 who tow or haul heavy loads. The bottom line: this kit is for drivers who need a reliable, adjustable solution to eliminate rear sag and improve ride quality while towing, with the single biggest reason to buy being its up to 5,000 pounds of load-leveling capacity that keeps a truck level right up to the manufacturer's recommended GVWR.

Key Features

• High load capacity: Rated up to 5,000 pounds of leveling capability so the kit handles heavy trailers and payloads without bottoming out.
• Vehicle specific fit: Designed to fit 2001-2010 Chevrolet Silverado 2500/3500 and GMC Sierra 2500/3500 SRW and DRW models for a precise installation.

• Durable construction: Rugged components resist wear for long-term service under heavy towing and rough roads.

Who It's For

The LoadLifter 5000 is aimed at owners of 3/4 ton and 1 ton Chevrolet and GMC trucks who regularly tow fifth wheel or gooseneck trailers or haul heavy cargo and need to regain a level stance and reduce sway. It suits both RWD and 4WD models and is compatible with most side mount fifth wheel hitch applications.

This kit is not for cab & chassis or Quadrasteer applications; buyers with those configurations should look for a model explicitly listed for that chassis. Also, owners needing a lightweight helper for small loads may prefer a lower-capacity kit.
