Hi, John with Etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at Air Lift's LoadLifter 5000 series on our 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. If you use your truck like a truck, you know that every time you load it down, your truck kind of sags in the back. And you're gonna get usually a terrible ride, and your headlights are gonna be shooting up as you're going down the road, Air Lift load springs are gonna bring your truck back to the factory ride height, that's gonna be the most comfortable ride and the safest ride. For instance, on our truck today, this truck has already been outfitted with some great storage units in the back of this truck, and it came to us loaded down here. So we're gonna get some measurements on it just to see what their normal day-to-day ride height looks like on this.

Now, up here at the front, we're just gonna get some quick measurements. It's 39 inches from the ground running up the middle to the center of the wheel well. So 39 inches for the front, and at the rear back here, we're looking at 37 and a half. Now, that's not a lot between the front and the back, but it is enough to make a difference in ride quality and the headlight game. Now, this is precisely why you should be considering Air Lift LoadLifters.

You're not gonna unload your truck every time you wanna go camping and you hook up to your camper. This truck also being a 1500 is more than capable of pulling our trailer today. This trailer comes in at 3800 pounds, so tongue weight is approximately 10% of that, looking at a 380 pound tongue weight. And we can take a look and see what kind of effects the camper has had on our truck. And it's lowered our truck almost another two full inches.

Now, here up in the front, we'll get our measurement. And again, it's raised the front end almost two full inches as well, I don't have to tell you that not only is this gonna be an uncomfortable ride, but the ride's not gonna be very safe, especially if you're traveling at night, you're not gonna be able to see things with your headlights shooting the birds up here. So now that we have our truck outfitted with our camper, let's take it on our test course, and we're gonna go look at the obvious, let's see how poor the ride actually is. As we go over our test course right here, it's pretty bouncy, and that's what I'm expecting though, the suspension wasn't really made, you know, as heavy-duty, say, as the three quarter and one-ton trucks, these trucks ride like Cadillacs going down the road. So hooked up to our camper with weight in our bed already, we're hitting the internal or the, we're hitting the jounce bumpers on our springs, we're bottoming the truck out.

So these Air Lift LoadLifters are gonna be a great option to restore the factory ride height back up. Now, keep in mind, these aren't gonna increase the amount of weight that we can carry. What it does do is it lets us carry this weight safely. This is what the LoadLifters are gonna look like when they're installed on your truck here. These bags, is it a double convoluted design I think it's a little bit better as far as like stability and everything else than a single-bag design. It just gives it a little bit more rigidity, a little bit more strength. These bags are gonna give you 5000 pounds additional lifting force, now, that's not gonna increase your weight carrying capacity on your truck, it's just gonna help you carry that load more level. Now, with the bags installed and the camper hooked up, we inflated the system to 76 psi, which put us at a level ride height. Admittedly, you know, they go from zero to 100 psi, and this was pretty much the perfect application for this, we had a lot of weight. And when we loaded up the camper the first time, we we're probably just about an inch from the factory bump stops, and that's how much the system was sagging, let's get some measurements now. Up here at the front, we are looking at 40 inches, and here at the back axle, still measuring in the center here, we're at the same as the front, that's 40 inches, that's gonna be a huge improvement in ride quality and ride safety and stability. Let's go take it out on our test court to see how it handles bumps. Now, as we head to the test course, you'll notice this time around, I had put blue tape on one of the rear shock absorbers. That is where the
