Product Description
The AIR LIFT 88288 LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Spring Kit is designed to deliver superior load support and towing stability for the 2019-2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500. Built for truck owners who regularly tow trailers, haul cargo, or carry heavy payloads, this advanced air suspension system provides up to 5,000 pounds of load-leveling capacity to eliminate rear-end squat and maintain proper ride height.
The LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate series includes Air Lift’s exclusive internal jounce bumper, creating a three-stage ride comfort system that absorbs shock and prevents bottoming out even if air pressure drops. Adjustable air pressure from 5-100 PSI allows drivers to fine-tune suspension support depending on trailer weight or cargo load.
Heavy-duty two-ply reinforced air springs and corrosion-resistant steel brackets ensure long-lasting durability under demanding towing conditions. The AIR LIFT 88288 kit includes air springs, mounting brackets, airlines, fittings, and installation hardware for a straightforward bolt-on suspension upgrade that improves ride quality and load handling.
