Product Description
The AIR LIFT 88215 LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Spring Kit delivers exceptional load support and towing stability for older heavy-duty trucks including 1994-2004 Ford, 1989-2002 Dodge, and 1982-1986 GM models. This advanced suspension system provides up to 5,000 pounds of load-leveling capacity, helping eliminate rear suspension squat, improve handling, and maintain proper ride height when hauling heavy cargo or towing large trailers.
The LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate system features Air Lift’s exclusive internal jounce bumper which acts as a secondary suspension support inside the air spring. This design provides progressive load support and allows the suspension to maintain protection even when air pressure is low. Drivers can adjust air pressure between 5 and 100 PSI to fine-tune suspension support depending on the load being carried.
Heavy-duty two-ply reinforced rubber air springs mount between the truck frame and rear leaf springs to provide stable load support without affecting unloaded ride quality. Protective roll plates and corrosion-resistant brackets help extend air spring life, while included air lines and inflation valves allow simple pressure adjustments. The AIR LIFT 88215 is ideal for towing trailers, hauling cargo, or improving suspension performance on classic diesel trucks.

FAQ
What is the load capacity of the Air Lift 88215?
The LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate system provides up to 5,000 pounds of load-leveling support to help maintain ride height and stability when towing or hauling heavy loads.
What makes the “Ultimate” version different?
The Ultimate series includes an internal jounce bumper that provides progressive suspension support and protects the air springs from bottoming out.
Can I add an onboard compressor system?
Yes. Air Lift compressor kits such as WirelessAir or WirelessONE can be added for convenient in-cab pressure adjustment.
Does this increase my truck’s towing capacity?
No. Air spring systems improve load support and handling but do not increase the manufacturer’s GVWR or towing rating.
Will this help with trailer sway?
Yes. Maintaining proper ride height improves suspension geometry, reducing sway and improving steering and braking stability while towing.
