Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Spring Kit - Fits 2007-2021 Toyota Tundra - 88299

I've been waiting to post a review until I had some solid use time with this item. With about 7 round-trips of towing, it's time. On unboxing, everything was solid and well made in appearance. All parts were present and in good shape. Installation took a bit longer than I'd hoped. The biggest single issue was cleanly cutting the jounce bumpers down to the correct size. If at all possible, beg, borrow, or lease time in a garage by with a vehicle lift. I didn't lift the truck at all and maneuvering to cut the bumpers was a chore. Once that was done, however, installation proceeded quickly and fairly easily. I ran the air lines to be accessed behind the gas cap door without any problem--but do yourself a favor and buy some longer cable ties, you won't regret it. I also used a T, so both lifts are fed off one line. Now to the meat--how well do they work? I'm pulling a 6800-lb travel trailer with a 2016 Tundra. After loading, the tongue weight approaches the max recommended for the truck (yeah, yeah, not the smartest thing). and on the pull from the dealership, there was a lot squat and porpoising, even with the mid-range weight-distributing hitch we'd purchased. I'd ordered the Air Lift product after that 3-hour rolling bouncy-house towing experience and did the installation the afternoon before our next trip. The Air Lifts did get the rear-end up to where it should be, which provided a leveler towing experience. Porpoising was all but eliminated and the ride much more positive control-wise. I measured the correction provided by the product and found that while the rear end was fully corrected, the front end lift was not improved, i.e., the front end didn't drop at all, let alone to its unloaded height or anywhere close. That said, I'll reiterate that steering and control WAS improved quite a bit after installation. Bottom line, do I recommend the product? Yup, I do. There are a couple of other things I could probably do (and probably will do at some point) but for now, these work well for me.

Great price. Pretty straight forward install. Took me a helluva lot longer than 1.5, but I'm not a professional and I don't have a rack so I had to level my truck and jack one side up at a time to take the wheel off. If you're a perfectionist and have the required/preferred tools (sawzall, small electric ratchet or air ratchet, jack, jack stand) it might take you only about 3 hours start to finish. Took me about 4, but I like to make sure I don't miss anything and that everything is torqued and re-torqued to spec, the U-bolts were cut off flush, the airlines were cut clean and flush etc. . .and I had never put bags on anything before. Anyway. . . the kit went on cleanly with the help of YouTube and I have no leaks. Been holding 7psi for 4 days (no-load yet to air it up for). I ordered the "Firestone 3025 1/4" steel T fitting" so that I only have one valve going through my rear bumper that airs up both bags equally. Worked perfect. As for tips. . . watch etrailer's youtube video of the install. They pretty much cover everything. Oh and make sure your truck is on level ground. Jacking up the rear with the parking brake on = no parking brake for the most part. Hate to have you drop this on yourself to save $300 in installation costs. Be safe.

I absolutely love this addition to my 2012 toyota tundra. It makes towing so much easier! Install instructions are great EXCEPT, do NOT install the air connection nipple to the air bag prior to installing in the frame rail. IT WILL NOT FIT IF YOU DO. Install takes less than an hour (including wireless compressor kit) if you don't install the nipple first. Slide the bag into the space shown and then screw in the air connection. This will make the ride stiffer becuase the internal Jounce jumper is taller than the factory one so you engage it quickly if running the bags empty. I have found that 5 pounds of air makes the ride very similar to factory but still STIFFER. You are adding a lot of capacity to towing, reducing the travel of the factory suspension so it is noticeable. It doesn't make it ride like a 1 ton or anything that drastic but if you are accustomed to the smooth soft ride of the toyota, you will notice it. Everyone who rides in my truck tells me it rides great and is very comfortable but I notice the difference. I tow a car hauler behind my truck. I no longer bottom out on dips when towing 9,000 pounds and the truck doesnt settle. I went with the wireless one system for the compressor and LOVE the ability to modify the ride while driving.

I absolutely love this! As it's made for my Tundra, it fits just right and paying that bit extra for the built in bump stop was absolutely worth it. The Tundra is an amazing truck, but seriously lacks in carrying capacity. With these airbags in place, my full overlanding gear including 200lutres if water and a heavy frame and tent can be levelled out nicely and no more bottoming out. Wish I'd bought these sooner! Take note that as it's US product, you will need imperial size allen keys for the countersunk bolts. The nuts on the U bolts can be tightened with a 13mm metric.

Bon produit facile à installer, vidéo YouTube. Satisfait de rendement fonctionne bien!

Stiffens up truck amazing for heavy loads, when no loads in truck lower pressure or ride is rough, great product, easy to install

Was easy install, lifts back of truck good, no more sagging.

This is my second set because I’ve traded my truck and installed a new set. Easy installation and I like the fact that you don’t require any air in them when you don’t have a load in the truck as they have an internal bounce umlike other air bag systems where you require at least 5 psi in them.
