The LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate is an air suspension system that provides load-leveling support for your vehicle. It uses reinforced, commercial-grade air springs with single or double convolute bellows to support up to 5,000 pounds (2,268 kg) of load. The air springs are adjustable from 5 to 100 PSI (0.34 to 7 BAR), allowing you to adjust the suspension stiffness based on your load.
Yes, kit 88413 is designed for the Ford Raptor. However, the manual does not specify which model years or cab/bed configurations are compatible. Contact Air Lift customer service at (800) 248-0892 or service@airliftcompany.com to confirm fitment for your specific vehicle.
You will need: a hack saw or handheld grinder with cut-off wheel; tire marker, crayon or paint; standard and metric open-end or boxed wrenches; standard and metric regular and deep-well sockets; ratchet; 9/16" ratchet wrench; torque wrench; standard and metric hex-key wrenches; hose cutter, razor blade or sharp knife; hoist and axle lift or floor jack; two tire chocks; three safety stands; safety glasses; air compressor or compressed air source; spray bottle with dish soap/water solution; and a grinder with grinding wheel.
The kit includes: 2 clamp bars (01531), 2 lower brackets (03875), upper frame brackets left and right (07079, 07566), upper spring brackets (07788, 07799), 4 U-bolts (11676), 4 black roll plates (11967), 2 air springs with jounce bumpers (58496), 2 straight fittings (21839), various screws, washers, nuts, and bolts, tree mount fittings, ABS spacer brackets, clamps, parking brake cable bracket, spacers, carriage bolts, and air line components. Some parts are optional (marked with asterisks in the hardware list) and depend on your vehicle configuration.
The vehicle must be on a hoist with the frame lifted slightly to take pressure off the leaf springs. Block one tire in front and rear with chocks. Place a safety stand under the front of the differential to prevent rotation when dropping the axle assembly. The jounce bumper strike plates/axle spacer blocks must be moved from one side to the other to gain clearance for the air spring assembly, which installs between the axle and frame. The stock U-bolts must be removed and the jounce bumper and cup must be unbolted from the frame and discarded.
Yes. The jounce bumper strike plates/axle spacer blocks must be swapped from one side to the other. You have two options: Option 1 is to cut the ABS tree mount bracket off the axle using a grinder and cut-off wheel. Option 2 is to grind 1/4" of material off the strike plate where the ABS bracket contacts it, removing material in front and rear until the spacer block sits flat with no interference. The manual recommends marking the contact points with tire marker, crayon or paint before grinding.
Yes. The ABS/brake line/vent tube bracket on the driver's (left) side axle must be modified. Remove the ABS lines from the slot in the bracket and pull the left line out of the slot in the line holder above the bracket. Move the ABS lines inboard as far as possible. Mark the bracket just outside the second ABS slot, leaving enough material so the inside ABS slot can be reused. Using a hack saw or grinder with a cut-off wheel, trim the bracket to remove the outside ABS slot. Smooth the edges so the cut is not sharp.
Yes, some minor bending of the hard brake line may be necessary to gain clearance on the axle or other components after spacing the brake line brackets away from the axle. Additionally, after installation, you should check all brake lines and wiring harnesses to ensure they are not rubbing on any components due to modifications made, and adjust by bending the line to obtain clearance if necessary.
Yes. You must choose the locations for the Schrader valves and drill a 5/16" (8 mm) hole if necessary. Recommended locations are: inside the fuel tank filler door, inside 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; do not use scissors or wire cutters.
The upper frame brackets (C & D) must be torqued to 38 lb.-ft. (52 Nm) using the M10 bolt (V) and flat washer (CC).
The U-bolts must be torqued to 90 lb.-ft. (122 Nm) in a crisscross pattern, evenly. U-bolts must be re-torqued after 100 miles.
The 3/8" lower bracket axle clamp hardware must be torqued to 16 lb.-ft. (22 Nm) after the U-bolts have been torqued.
The flat-head screws (K) that attach the upper spring brackets to the air spring assembly must be torqued to no more than 20 lb.-ft. (27 Nm).
The 3/8" carriage bolts (U) that attach the air spring assemblies to the upper and lower brackets must be torqued to 31 lb.-ft. (42 Nm).
The straight fittings (J) should be installed into the top of the air spring finger-tight, then tightened an additional 1 1/2 turns.
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" (51 mm) 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.
The air line heat shield (OO) is a protective component that slides onto the air line on the passenger's (right) side and is pushed into position against the fitting. It helps protect the air line from heat sources. The manual notes that misalignment of the lower and upper air spring brackets is normal for this installation.
The maximum air pressure is 100 PSI (7 BAR). Never inflate beyond this pressure. Although the air springs are rated at a maximum inflation pressure of 100 PSI (7 BAR), the air pressure actually needed is dependent on load and gross vehicle weight rating.
The minimum recommended air pressure is 5 PSI (0.34 BAR).
The LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate air springs provide up to 5,000 pounds (2,268 kg) of load-leveling support. However, you must not exceed the maximum gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) or payload rating as indicated by the vehicle manufacturer.
After installation, perform the following checks: (1) Clearance test—inflate 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, including tires, brakes, frame, shock absorbers and brake cables. (2) Leak test—inflate to 40-60 PSI and check all connections for leaks; all leaks must be eliminated before road testing. (3) Heat test—ensure at least 6" (152 mm) clearance from heat sources; install heat shield if included. (4) Fastener test—after 500 miles (800 km), recheck all bolts for proper torque. (5) Road test—drive 10 miles (16 km) and recheck for clearance, loose fasteners and air leaks.
Check air pressure weekly. Always maintain normal ride height. Never inflate beyond 100 PSI (7 BAR). If the system develops an air leak, use a soapy water solution to check all air line connections and the inflation valve core before deflating and removing the air spring. U-bolts must be re-torqued after 100 miles. After 500 miles, recheck all bolts for proper torque.
Use a spray bottle with a soapy water solution to check all air line connections and the inflation valve core. Bubbles will indicate a leak. All leaks must be eliminated before the vehicle is road-tested. If the system develops an air leak, use the soapy water solution to identify the source before deflating and removing the air spring.
After inflating the air springs to 40-60 PSI (2.8-4.1 BAR), check for at least 1/2" (13 mm) clearance from tires, brakes, frame, shock absorbers and brake cables. If rubbing is detected, adjust the brake lines by bending them to obtain clearance. Check all brake lines and wiring harnesses to ensure they are not rubbing on any components due to modifications made during installation.
Misalignment of the lower and upper air spring brackets is normal for this installation and does not indicate a problem.
If the spacer block/strike plate does not fit flat on the spring perch after grinding, remove more material between the marked lines until it sits flat with no interference from the ABS bracket. Ensure the marks on the spacer blocks are facing the rear of the vehicle. If the jounce bumper strike plate/axle spacer block is not positioned correctly, the pinion angle will not be correct and may induce vibration when operating.
Kit 88413 is designed for the Ford Raptor. Confirm fitment for your specific model year and configuration by contacting Air Lift at (800) 248-0892.
You will need a hoist and axle lift or floor jack, safety stands, torque wrench, hack saw or grinder with cut-off wheel, hose cutter, air compressor, and standard/metric wrenches and sockets.
Yes. The strike plates must be swapped side-to-side and either the ABS bracket must be cut off the axle, or the strike plate must be ground to provide 1/4" clearance from the ABS bracket.
Yes. You must drill a 5/16" (8 mm) hole for each Schrader valve in your chosen location (fuel tank filler door, rear wheel well, or bumper area).
Perform clearance test at 40-60 PSI (ensure 1/2" minimum clearance), leak test, heat test (6" minimum from exhaust), fastener test after 500 miles, and road test for 10 miles.
Check air pressure weekly. Never exceed 100 PSI. Re-torque U-bolts after 100 miles and all bolts after 500 miles. Use soapy water to check for leaks.
If the jounce bumper strike plate/axle spacer block is not positioned correctly, the pinion angle will not be correct and may induce vibration when operating. Ensure the marks on the spacer blocks are facing the rear of the vehicle. If vibration occurs, verify that the strike plates are properly positioned and that all fasteners are torqued to specification.
If the lower bracket does not fit into position without interference, it may be necessary to trim the ABS/brake line bracket that was previously modified. Ensure the ABS/brake line bracket has sufficient clearance and that the lower bracket can be positioned against the leaf spring and jounce bumper strike plate/axle spacer assembly.
Make clean, square cuts with a razor blade or hose cutter. Do not use scissors or wire cutters. A good cut will be straight and perpendicular to the line. A bad cut will be angled or jagged. The manual provides visual examples of good and bad cuts in the air line installation section.
