LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate

Installing the LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate System

IMPORTANT SYSTEM INFORMATION

The air springs will last much longer if they are not the suspension limiter in either compression 
or extension . The air spring compresses to 2 .8” and extends to 9 .1” . Regardless of the load, 
the air pressure should be adjusted so that the normal ride height is maintained at all times . 
The shock absorber is usually the limiter on extension . If this is not the case, the use of 
limiting straps should be considered, particularly for off-road vehicles .

A DISTANCE OF 4” OR GREATER MUST BE MAINTAINED BETWEEN THE UPPER 
AND LOWER BRACKET FOR KIT #57297 (2WD) . ADD SUFFICIENT PRESSURE TO 
MAINTAIN THIS HEIGHT .

Your vehicle may be equipped with a rear brake proportioning valve . Any type of load 
assist product could affect brake performance . We recommend that you check with your 
dealer before installing this type of product . If your vehicle DOES NOT have a rear brake 
proportioning valve or is equipped with an anti-lock type brake system, installation of a load 
assist product will have NO EFFECT on brake system performance .

COMPRESSED AIR CAN CAUSE INJURY AND DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND PARTS 
IF IT IS NOT HANDLED PROPERLY . FOR YOUR SAFETY, DO NOT TRY TO INFLATE THE 
AIR SPRINGS UNTIL THEY HAVE BEEN PROPERLY SECURED TO THE VEHICLE .

REMOVING THE JOUNCE BUMPER

1 .  Raise the vehicle and support the axle with jack stands, setting the jack stands as wide 

as possible on the axle (fig. 3).

2 . 

2WD vehicles

: Remove the jounce bumpers from the bottom of the frame .

 

4WD vehicles
