Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate + LoadController Tow Kit | 2014-2026 Ram 2500/3500 2WD/4WD | 5,000 lb
Good to know before you buy
Fits
- 2014-2026 Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 2WD/4WD, single rear wheel, without factory rear air suspension
Does not fit: Trucks with the factory rear air suspension option, Ram 3500 dual rear wheel and chassis cab
Why this kit
Air Lift sells the springs and the compressor as separate part numbers, so most buyers end up ordering twice or installing bags with a Schrader valve and a gas station hose. This kit puts the two halves together at the value price point: the LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate rear air springs for the 2014 and newer Ram HD, rated to level up to 5,000 lb of pin weight or payload, and the LoadController single-path heavy duty compressor with a dash-mounted gauge and switch. Both springs inflate together from the cab, which is all a centered gooseneck or fifth wheel needs. The Ultimate springs carry an internal jounce bumper so they can run at zero pressure when the truck is empty without damage.

Questions
Does this fit a Ram 2500 and a Ram 3500?
Yes. Air Lift lists 88289 for both the coil-rear 2500 and the leaf-rear 3500 SRW from 2014 on, using different bracket positions covered in the instructions.
My truck has the factory rear air suspension. Will this fit?
No. The factory air ride option uses its own bags and this kit is not listed for it.
Single path or dual path?
Single path inflates both springs together to the same pressure, right for a centered load. If your load sits off to one side, the WirelessAir V2 version of this kit runs each side independently.
Does this raise my towing capacity?
No. Air springs level the truck and restore ride height and headlight aim under load. Your GVWR and tow ratings do not change.
What is the warranty?
Air Lift covers the air springs with a limited lifetime warranty and the compressor system for 2 years. Warranties are processed through the original place of purchase, so keep your Hannah Suspension order confirmation.
