Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 air spring kit for 2019–2026 Chevy Silverado & GMC Sierra 1500 — 5,000 lb capacity, adjustable 5–100 PSI

The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 (57288) is an adjustable air helper spring kit that restores level ride height and adds up to 5,000 lbs of load-leveling capacity for 2019–2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 trucks.

This kit installs between the axle and frame to support towing and hauling without permanent suspension changes. Inflating the air springs firms the rear suspension under load, reducing sag, sway and bottoming; deflating them returns the factory ride when the truck is unloaded. Designed for heavy-use trucks, LoadLifter 5000 components are built for durability, ease of setup, and long service life, and the kit carries Air Lift’s limited lifetime warranty plus a 60‑day ride satisfaction guarantee.

How does this kit improve towing and hauling stability?

Adding adjustable air springs prevents the rear from dipping under heavy loads so steering, braking, and trailer control remain more predictable. Pressure is tuned to match cargo weight, so handling and comfort stay consistent whether you’re hauling a payload or driving empty.

• Air-adjustable from 5–100 PSI to match load conditions
• Up to 5,000 pounds of additional leveling capacity
• Reduces rear sag and minimizes trailer sway
• Improves braking distance and steering response under load

Is installation difficult and what tools are required?

The LoadLifter 5000 kit is engineered for bolt-on installation using common hand tools; Air Lift includes step-by-step instructions to guide the process. Basic mechanical ability and a jack and stands are recommended, though many owners complete installation in a weekend without specialty equipment.

• Comprehensive instructions included in the kit
