Ford 1999–2004 LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Helper Spring Kit | Air Lift 88390

Get LoadLifter 5000 support plus an internal jounce bumper for a smoother loaded ride. The Air Lift 88390 LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate kit adds up to 5,000 lbs of adjustable rear load support on 1999–2004 F-250 and F-350 Super Duty 4WD trucks. It helps keep the truck level when towing a fifth-wheel, running a gooseneck, or hauling a heavy bed load. The closed-cell urethane foam jounce bumper inside each air spring absorbs shock, reduces harsh jarring, helps prevent bottoming out, and lets you safely run with zero air pressure if a bag loses air. Air pressure is fully adjustable from 5–100 PSI so you can firm the ride when loaded and ease it off when empty.
