Review on Enhance Vehicle Performance and Ride Comfort with Air Lift 88200 LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Suspension Kit by Tom Plowman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not too difficult to install

I'm just a computer genius trying to get comfortable. A Gear friend helped me as he has lots of tools, but I could easily do it in my own garage (don't all computer nerds have jacks and jacks?). The guide was pretty clear but some youtube videos also helped to get an overview of what's going on here. We did it in about 2 hours. Remove the tires, place two jacks on the axle, then use a jack with a spacer (wood) to raise the hitch receiver while driving to secure the bottom of the bag to the floor panels. $10 damn pipe cutter to cut the air hoses. Just heck cut them in a straight line instead of an oval so they fit properly on the shark bite connectors. Damn nickel and blackout people. It was a pretty good price though, as the local pharmacist wanted $800 for a full setup. Jish. I'll get dirty for that price. Route the air hoses and Schrader valves from the back, over the spare tire to the plastic next to the license plate using minimal zip ties (supplied!). Lots of hoses to work with. Close your eyes and pray as you trim to length. I didn't have an onboard air compressor which seems to require a lot of extra work including electrical. My scenario is just for transporting my 5 wheel camper so I don't have to adjust the airflow on the go. I just bought a $60 inflator that I carry around in the RV for long distance use, but just fill the bags at home with the garage compressor before I pick up the RV.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Power socket required
