Product Description
The AIR LIFT 88289 LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Spring Kit delivers superior towing stability and load support for the 2014-2024 Ram 2500. Designed for heavy-duty towing and hauling, this premium suspension upgrade provides up to 5,000 pounds of load-leveling capacity to eliminate rear suspension squat, improve handling, and maintain proper ride height under heavy loads.
The LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate series features 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 payload demands.
Constructed with heavy-duty reinforced rubber air springs and corrosion-resistant steel brackets, the AIR LIFT 88289 is built for long-term durability in demanding towing environments. The kit installs between the frame and rear leaf springs and includes all mounting hardware, air lines, and fittings for a straightforward bolt-on installation.
