Product Description
The AIR LIFT 88154 LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Spring Kit delivers advanced load leveling performance for the 1999-2004 Ford F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550 Super Duty 4WD and 2000-2005 Ford Excursion 4WD. Built for heavy towing and hauling applications, this premium air spring suspension system provides up to 5,000 pounds of load-leveling support to eliminate squat, improve stability, and restore proper ride height under load.
The LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate system features Air Lift’s exclusive internal jounce bumper, which provides three-stage ride comfort and additional suspension support even when air pressure is low. This internal cushion absorbs shock, prevents bottoming out, and allows the system to operate safely with little or no air pressure during temporary load changes.
Constructed from reinforced two-ply commercial-grade rubber air springs with protective roll plates, the AIR LIFT 88154 is engineered to withstand demanding towing environments such as heavy trailers, fifth-wheel campers, and work equipment. Adjustable air pressure from 5-100 PSI allows drivers to fine-tune suspension support depending on payload weight or trailer tongue load.
