Product Description
The AIR LIFT 57396 LoadLifter 5000 Air Spring Kit is engineered to dramatically improve load support and towing stability for the 2011-2016 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty 4WD trucks. Designed for serious towing and heavy hauling applications, this heavy-duty suspension system delivers up to 5,000 pounds of load-leveling capacity to eliminate rear-end squat, trailer sway, and bottoming out when carrying large payloads or pulling heavy trailers.
The LoadLifter 5000 system installs between the frame and rear leaf springs to restore proper ride height and maintain balanced weight distribution across all four tires. The air springs are fully adjustable from 5-100 PSI, allowing drivers to fine-tune suspension support depending on trailer weight or cargo load. This dramatically improves steering response, braking performance, and overall ride stability when towing or hauling heavy loads.
Constructed with rugged two-ply reinforced rubber bellows and heavy-duty mounting brackets, the AIR LIFT 57396 kit is built to withstand demanding diesel truck applications. Protective roll plates help distribute load evenly and extend air spring life. The kit includes brackets, airlines, fittings, and mounting hardware for a complete suspension upgrade.

FAQ
How much load support does the Air Lift 57396 provide?
The LoadLifter 5000 system provides up to 5,000 pounds of load-leveling support, helping maintain proper ride height and stability when towing or hauling heavy loads.
Does this kit work with Power Stroke diesel trucks?
Yes. The AIR LIFT 57396 is designed for both gasoline and Power Stroke diesel powered Ford Super Duty trucks from 2011 through 2016.
Can I add an onboard compressor system?
Yes. Air Lift compressor kits such as the WirelessONE or LoadController systems allow drivers to adjust air pressure directly from the cab.
Will these airbags increase my truck’s payload rating?
No. Air spring kits improve load support and suspension stability but do not increase the manufacturer’s GVWR or legal payload rating.
Will this improve towing stability?
Yes. The system helps keep the truck level, improves braking balance, reduces trailer sway, and prevents rear suspension bottoming when towing heavy loads.
