Operating the Air Spring System
The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate system is designed for optimal load leveling and ride comfort. By adjusting the air pressure in the springs, you can maintain a level stance for your vehicle, which is crucial for safe towing and hauling.
Load Leveling and Stability:
When a heavy load is applied, your vehicle's rear suspension may sag. The air springs counteract this by providing additional support, restoring the vehicle to its proper ride height. This not only improves appearance but also enhances steering, braking, and tire wear.

Smart Air II System (Optional):
For ultimate convenience, the LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate can be paired with the Smart Air II automatic leveling system. This system detects when your vehicle is not level and automatically inflates or deflates the air springs to maintain your desired ride height. The Smart Air II is equipped with a standard duty onboard air compressor and is available in single or dual path models.
