Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Ultimate Air Spring Kit for 2011-2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD/3500HD RWD/4WD, 2011-20219 GMC Sierra 2500HD/3500HD RWD/4WD - 57538

I've used Airlift 5000 air bag suspension kits before when i owned a heavy Lance slide in truck camper on a Chevy K3500 dually. I was very pleased with the ride stability they provided. I sold that truck/camper years ago. Recently i decided to buy a Capri slide in truck camper for use with my 2017 Chevy K2500, where weight and ride stability are more of a concern. I installed these Airlift 5000 air bags on my 3/4 ton several days before picking up my new Capri camper. The installation can be done by an RV dealer, but if you have the tools and safety jacks to support your vehicle, you can DIY. Install requires only basic tools (SAE and 13 and 14mm metric sockets - deep and standard, a 13 and 14mm open end wrenches, and a torque wrench). But SAFETY is most important.....be sure to use jack stands (i use a primary and a back up under my vehicle) and a good hydraulic lift jack. You don't need to lift the rear of your vehicle until the tires are off the ground, but only enough to give you more room between the axle and the jounce bumper housing. I followed the instructions provided by Airlift and checked off each step as I completed it. Airlift instructions did'nt mention a trick that i used to make easier to place the assembled air bags bags into position between the axle and frame. (See the pic) I compressed the air bag assembly and used a strand of bailing wire on each side to keep it compressed until i had it in position. Then, I cut the bailing wire and removed it easily. The air bags expanded into place on the frame above the axle. So much easier doing that than trying to force the expanded bag assembly into position! After that the remainder of the install was smooth, except for attaching the emergency brake line clip per the instructions......there was not enough clearance between the fuel tank and the frame to install the Airlift provided brake line clip. I had to secure it using a different method. After install, i followed the checklist instructions. Clearance, leak checks, check ride, and torque check passed. It took me about 6 hours to install, but I'm old, slow, deliberate and SAFE! Used the truck on an 800 mile trip to pick up my new camper. Had to endure high winds with 60mph gusts both from the headwind and from the side. The airbags were inflated to 35psi. The ride was level, stable, and i started to feel very safe and secure with the way the airbags improved the ride, even with the buffeting from the wind. These bags DO NOT increase your cargo weight rating. They improve ride control. If you have or are considering a slide in camper, I highly recommend these Airlift suspension kits. Same if you have a heavy tongue weight trailer that lifts your trucks front end. The Airlifts with give you a level and stable ride.

Awesome quality easy install Light modification if you have a B&W gooseneck hitch that goes over the frame

I’m fairly mechanical, and this took me two days to install. I have a fifth wheel hitch and the hardest thing was drilling the holes in the frame. Once it was installed I am very happy with the performance. It didn’t leak from the start. A great product and I will recommend it to anyone.

The system works as expected Easy to install BUT the pictures supplied the mount is backwards Easy fix but a heads up The air line the supply is not long enough it might be 15ft I wanted to mount air lines in gas tank door but didnt have enough

First off, let me ask you this: are you tired of carrying your overweight mother in law on vacation and your truck being weighed down? If so, you need these airbags. Not even playing. I bought these to haul a 30 foot gooseneck trailer up and down the road with a tractor on it. (Much better than the other option) Where used to, my truck would bottom out on the bump stops when hitting bumps and the truck would be squatted like one of those 16 year olds with the front of the truck star gazing. The ride quality is soooo much better and you can adjust the pressure in the bags in case you’re hauling even more of a load. Moral of the story here, don’t be mad at your truck for not hauling your huge mother in law with superior ride comfort! Just buy these bags and put her on your gooseneck trailer. Don’t forget the straps!

Only 2 hours to install. Good quality.

Kinda difficult to install on my 16 Duramax, but they do exactly what I needed them to do. Never checked for leaks, but I don't ever go over 30 psi, so not much to leak out. Also using an auto pump for them so I don't have to worry about loosing pressure going down the road due to small leaks.

I previously ised the Firestone bags on a different truck and really liked them. I sold that truck and needed to add air bags to my new truck. I started pricing them and these bags had very good reviews and the price was much cheaper than the Firestone bags. My first tow with them I wasnt very happy with the ride. Come to find out the bags were deflating. Checked for leaks and found where the air tubing was leaking at one of the push in fittings due to the cut not being square. I trimmed the tubing and put it back together and they have worked great since then. (The cut on the tubing could have been my fault but Im pretty certain that wasnt a cut I made, but it could have been). Other than that cut the bags have worked great and really help the ride when I am towing. My 5th wheel is a 2002 32' trailer than weighs approx 12k. With about 44 psi in the bags the truck rides great. My truck is a 2011 GMC 2500 Denali HD Duramax 4x4.

Easy install

Excellent installation instructions and product works as advertised. Installed on a 2016 Silverado and has made towing a heavy trailer much more enjoyable.

Good product but if you’re looking to use it for pulling loads I’d probably just install the 7,500 pound rated one right away instead. Does definitely help with the way a 3/4 ton or 1ton ride even empty Very simple to install at least the kit for the 2011 and newer 2500HD and 3500Hd GMC and Chev !!

Good product so far. Works great for hauling a trailer. The bad thing is that I have only had the air bags for a week and both are leaking from the AN 90 fitting, not from the threads but from the swivel part. Kinda disappointed with that as now I have to track down parts and have it fixed.

Very happy easy to install
