The first step is to raise the vehicle and support it using safety stands or equivalent so the axle can be safely dropped away from the frame. This is necessary to position the air spring assembly between the axle and frame. The manual shows the vehicle on a drive-on hoist with the axle supported.
Yes. You must pull the plastic harness fasteners away from the frame on the wiring harness behind the axle on both the passenger's (right) and driver's (left) side so that the harness is loose from the frame. This is done early in the installation process to provide clearance.
Yes. You must unbolt and pull aside the frame vent tube bracket and the vent tube itself so that it is away from the frame. This is done early in the installation and the vent tube will be reattached later.
Yes. You must remove the rear 5th-wheel hitch frame bolts and discard them. This is necessary to provide clearance for the upper bracket installation.
Yes. You must remove the ABS lines from the brackets on both the driver's (left) and passenger's (right) side axle. These lines will be reattached later using P-clamps and zip ties.
Yes, on the driver's (left) side only. You must loosen the left bolt that holds the rear brake line to the rear axle bracket, then rotate the brake line counter-clockwise as far as it will go. Tighten the brake line bolt so the line stays in this position. This is done to gain clearance for the lower bracket.
Yes, on gas models only. You must pull up on the EVAP control valve to remove it from the frame bracket, then bend the "fingers" on the bracket inboard and down using channel lock pliers or equivalent. Let the EVAP control valve hang at this time. The bracket will be reattached later during the installation.
Insert the J-bolts (part 17309, 3/8"-16 x 3.75") into the large hole on the inside of the frame rail, just behind the round crossmember, on both the driver's (left) and passenger's (right) sides. These bolts will later align with holes in the upper brackets.
Insert the square U-bolt (part 11717, L) around the spring perch, forward of the axle. Then rotate it around the back side of the perch, making sure that the U-bolt fits in between the ABS line/bracket and the spring. This U-bolt will later attach the lower bracket to the axle.
Set the round U-bolts (part 11520, K) into position over the round crossmember located above the axle on both the driver's (left) and passenger's (right) side. Be careful not to pinch any wiring that may be in the area on the driver's (left) side.
1. Set roll plates (part 11951, E) on top of the air springs (part 58437, D) with the radiused edge toward the air springs. 2. Install the 90-degree swivel fittings (part 21837, I) into the top of the air springs, finger-tight plus one and a half turns. 3. Set both upper brackets (parts 07802 and 07903, B1 and B2) onto the top of the air springs and attach with two 3/8"-24 x 7/8" hex-cap screws (part 17203, F), 3/8" lock washers (part 18444, G), and 3/8" flat washers (part 18444, H). Leave loose at this time.
Flip the assemblies upside down and set roll plates on the bottom of the air springs. Install the lower brackets (part 03912, A) onto the air spring assemblies with two 3/8"-24 x 7/8" hex-cap screws (part 17203, F), 3/8" lock washers (part 18444, G), and 3/8" flat washers (part 18444, H). Make sure that the flanges on the lower brackets face the fittings on the top of the air springs. Leave loose at this time.
The air fittings on the assemblies must face the outboard (tire side) of the vehicle when the assemblies are positioned onto the axle.
Raise the axle up just enough that the upper bracket touches the frame. While raising the axle, align the J-bolt and round U-bolts with the holes in the bracket. Attach the upper bracket to the 5th-wheel mounting hole located on the side of the frame using the M14-1.5 x 40 hex flange bolt (part 17508, P). Apply medium-strength (blue) threadlocker compound to the bolt before inserting it into the hole.
Torque the 3/8" U-bolts and J-bolts evenly to 15 lb.-ft. (20 Nm). Snug the M14 bolt first, then torque the U-bolts and J-bolts evenly, then torque the M14 hardware to 77 lb.-ft. (105 Nm).
Torque the M14-1.5 x 40 hex flange bolt (part 17508, P) to 77 lb.-ft. (105 Nm). Apply blue threadlocker compound to the bolt before installation.
The lower and upper mounting hardware should be tightened to no more than 20 lb.-ft. (27 Nm). This applies to both the lower bracket mounting hardware and the upper bracket alignment hardware.
Torque the axle clamp hardware to 15 lb.-ft. (20 Nm). Tighten the axle spring clamp evenly until tight before applying the final torque.
Torque the spring perch/lower bracket hardware to 15 lb.-ft. (20 Nm). Snug the hardware evenly first (do not tighten at this time), then apply the final torque.
Insert two 3/8"-16 x 4" carriage bolts (part 17166, M) through the holes in the lower bracket and install the lower axle clamp bar (part 01531, C) under the axle. Cap the carriage bolts with two 3/8" flat washers (part 18444, H) and 3/8"-16 nylon lock nuts (part 18435, S). Do not tighten at this time. Later, tighten the axle spring clamp evenly until tight, then torque to 15 lb.-ft. (20 Nm).
Push the lower bracket up against the stock leaf spring U-bolts, making sure the tabs on the lower bracket are locked around the outside of the U-bolts. Snug the spring perch/lower bracket U-bolt evenly (do not tighten at this time). The tabs must engage the outside of the U-bolts to properly secure the assembly.
In final adjustments, push the air spring inboard on the lower bracket and tighten the lower hardware to no more than 20 lb.-ft. (27 Nm). Then align the air spring by moving it forward or backward on the upper bracket, and tighten the upper mounting hardware to no more than 20 lb.-ft. (27 Nm).
Install the P-clamp (part 10976, J) over the wiring on the driver's (left) side and attach to the upper bracket, with the "P" facing the frame. Attach the P-clamp with one 1/4"-20 x 3/4" hex-head screw (part 17261, N), two #12 flat washers (part 18419, Q), and one 1/4" nylon lock nut (part 18425, R). Tighten securely.
On gas models only: 1. Install the P-clamp (part 10976, J) around the wiring harness on the driver's (left) side. 2. Insert one 1/4"-20 x 3/4" bolt (part 17261, N) into the EVAP control valve bracket (part 11543, T). 3. Insert the bracket into the EVAP control valve using the same slot the stock bracket was removed from. 4. Install the assembly onto the upper bracket. 5. Install the P-clamp previously put around the wiring onto the EVAP control valve mounting bolt and attach with a #12 flat washer (part 18419, Q) and 1/4" nylon lock nut (part 18425, R). If necessary, rotate or bend the bracket to gain as much clearance around the control valve as possible. Tighten securely.
Install the P-clamp (part 10976, J) around the passenger's (right) side wiring and ABS line that had been previously removed. Along with the previously removed axle vent tube bracket, attach the P-clamp and wiring to the upper bracket using the same hardware specified from the driver's (left) side: one 1/4"-20 x 3/4" hex-head screw (part 17261, N), two #12 flat washers (part 18419, Q), and one 1/4" nylon lock nut (part 18425, R). Tighten securely.
Yes. Bend the emergency brake line brackets located on the axle forward on both the driver's (left) and passenger's (right) side, forward of the axle, far enough for the line to gain clearance of the lower bracket.
Tie off the ABS line on the passenger's (right) side, which was disconnected from the axle bracket, to the axle vent tube with a zip tie (part 10466, U). Tie off the ABS line behind the axle on the driver's (left) side to the soft brake line with a zip tie (part 10466, U).
Yes, you must choose the location for the Schrader valve and drill a 5/16" (8 mm) hole if necessary. The manual shows three optional locations: inside the fuel tank filler door, inside the rear wheel wells, or in the license plate or rear bumper area. Make clean, square cuts with a razor blade or hose cutter when cutting the air line.
Yes, you must drill a 5/16" (8 mm) hole for the Schrader valve. The manual provides three optional locations: inside the fuel tank filler door, inside the rear wheel wells, or in the license plate or rear bumper area.
Cut the air line in half using a hose cutter, razor blade, or sharp knife. Make clean, square cuts. Do not use scissors or wire cutters, as these will damage the air line.
Use zip ties to secure the air line to fixed points along the chassis. Do not pinch or kink the air line. Leave at least 2" of slack in the air line to allow for any movement that might pull on the air line. The minimum bend radius for the air line is 1" (25 mm). Keep at least 6" (152 mm) of clearance between all air lines and the exhaust system. Avoid sharp bends and edges.
Keep at least 6" (152 mm) of clearance between all air lines and the exhaust system. If a heat shield was included in the kit, install it. If there is no heat shield but one is required, call Air Lift customer service at (800) 248-0892.
Attach the metal heat shield to the exhaust where it is closest to the air spring. Slide the air line thermal sleeve over the air line and place it where the air line is closest to the exhaust. Maintain 1/2" (13 mm) dead air space between the shield and exhaust. Use double hose clamps if necessary.
The minimum bend radius for the air line is 1" (25 mm). Avoid sharp bends and edges when routing the air lines.
The maximum air pressure is 100 PSI (7 BAR). Although the air springs are rated at this maximum inflation pressure, the air pressure actually needed is dependent on load and gross vehicle weight rating. Never inflate beyond 100 PSI (7 BAR).
The minimum recommended pressure is 5 PSI (0.34 BAR). Always maintain normal ride height and check air pressure weekly.
No. For safety and to prevent possible damage to the vehicle, do not exceed the maximum gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) or payload rating as indicated by the vehicle manufacturer. The LoadLifter 5000 is designed to level the vehicle under load, not to exceed its rated capacity.
Perform the following checks in order: 1. Clearance test — Inflate the air springs to 40-60 PSI (2.8-4.1 BAR) and ensure at least 1/2" (13 mm) clearance from anything that might rub against each sleeve. Check the tire, brakes, frame, shock absorbers, and brake cables. 2. Leak test — Inflate the air springs to 40-60 PSI (2.8-4.1 BAR) and check all connections for leaks. All leaks must be eliminated before road testing. 3. Heat test — Ensure sufficient clearance from heat sources, at least 6" (152 mm) for air springs and air lines. 4. Fastener test — Recheck all bolts for proper torque. 5. Road test — Drive the vehicle 10 miles (16 km) and recheck for clearance, loose fasteners, and air leaks.
Inflate the air springs to 40-60 PSI (2.8-4.1 BAR) for both the clearance test and leak test. Check all connections for leaks and ensure at least 1/2" (13 mm) clearance from anything that might rub against each sleeve.
